Abstract: In our olden days we mark our tasks in our calendar or we make some notes but all these are not
advanced solution for the people who have multitasked every day. To find a best solution we have developed an
android mobile app to remain our tasks using location based service .This technological app has an unique
character as it has the ability to access the location though the GPS connected to the android phone alert us if there
is any task in that particular place and it also has the ability to alert us when we have any task to do in our nearby
areas from where we are. An important advantage of this system is it saves different tasks on differ locations. This
advanced system plays a very important role in the field of those people who works in the field of marketing and
business. In this paper describes our proposed location based task remainder for normal people to aware their
daily events or tasks. Immediate alert message is shown on the user’s screen when the users reach the specific
place. The main benefit of our system is reminded indoor tasks and outdoor tasks. Keywords- Location-based

I INTRODUCTION:

In this busy running world people are scheduled with their day to day tasks. In this practical life remind all the
tasks in all time is very difficult. Because of over tasks people often forget their important tasks for example
attending meetings to return something within due date, paying bills an also taking medicines. Human brain can
work for only one tasks at a particular time and can’t work for multitask purposes. If we pressure our mind for
thinking about multitask we may do. So we can manage with multitask at a single time. Traditionally the people
were using a small dairy to make the hits. Now cell phones are playing a major role in every one life. The phone
connectivity is

increased day by day. The next generation peoples use the cell phone for set an alarm. But this reminder is only
based on time and date only. Due to the communication technology development lot of smart devices are
manufactured. Now most of the cell phones are operated by using Android operating system.
o in this proposed system we have developed an app which can remind our day to day tasks. We have lot of apps
to remind our task using our android smart phones. Android are the mobile operating system based on some
modified version of open source soft ware’s, designed basically for touch screen mobile devices such as tablets
etc. The app which has been proposed in this system has unique characters. Because the other android apps has
only the ability to remind tasks which we have already save in that app but our app has the ability to alert us when
we are in the place where we have some tasks And also it has the ability if there is any tasks nearby to the place
from where we are. For example if we are in the market to buy the listed itemthe pharmacy is near to the market,
so our app alert us if there is an task in the pharmacy. So this app makes our life simple.

The section II explained about some existing techniques are used in task remainder system. Section
III describes about our proposed system and the flow diagram. Section V shows the sample events stores in
the cell phone.
Section V concludes the proposed work.

II LITERATURE SURVEY

Chi-Yi Lin et al., explained about the need of location based task reminder system in Android Phones. Own
job reminder is very important in current situation. Traditionally the peoples are maintained their tasks by
using pen and paper. But that system was not maintained properly. In the next level peoples are using cell
phone devices for remind their task. It is the most popular one. The main disadvantage of the cell phone alarm
reminder was it activated based only on time not location based. Mostly the people need the location based
reminder only. The location based job alert system can be activated when the user reach the nearest location
physically. In this research work the authors proposed a new job reminder concept for Android phone users.
This app was executed only on the Android based smart devices. In this system the GPS concept is used to
locate the place with time. This system was using two execution models. This work is based for many other
tasks like tour guiding system, location wise education etc.

Yogesh B.Thosar et al., says that in current scenario most of the peoples are connected by using their Android
cell phones. Peoples are using their smart devices for completing their daily activities. Normally the peoples
are forgotten their important tasks due to their busy schedule condition the authors designed a new application
in smart devices based on android operating system to remind their task depends on user’s location. The user’s
specific location with time is tracked by using the concept GPS. The user’s current location was collected from
Google Maps. Using this system the users can add more events at various places .

Heena Kausar et al., describes the importance of reminders in human life. The reminders systems are used to
help the peoples in their daily activities. In the existing remainder system are executed depends only on date
and time. But location based reminder is needed in every one life. In this system was executed depends on
location concept. This system uses latitude, longitude and radius value for creating fence near the user. This
application was implemented only on smart devices are worked based on android operating system .
Minal S. Mahure said that mobile devices are playing important role in very one life. The speed of data
communication will be increased day by day. Now smart devices are used for various tasks in human life. In
this paper introduced a novel technique for job reminder system using Android operating system in smart
devices. The remaining sections of this paper explained the technologies used in this job alert system .

TejaswineeUgale et al., designed a new system for sharing the files between various members through their
android devices. This app was used share the data between the members in inside the college and the outside of
the college environments. The performance of the above system also evaluated. This system may be used by
college principal, department heads, staff members and students those who are interested to share the file based
on system to system communications. The faculty members are simply login the application and send the
assignments to the students. When the assignments are reached the student login, the students immediately
received an alert message. This proposed system permits the users to set the alarm sound based on the date, time
and location .

Timothy Sohn et al., said that awareness using context based increase the uses of automatic reminder system. Cell
phones are normally used to set the remainders. In this paper the authors proposed a new task reminder approach
using smart devices depends on location, data and time. The reminder applications are very useful in human life
in daily activities. Finally cell phones has been proved it is the important plat form for all level of the people.
The cell phones are working based upon the concept of microwaves. The microwave signals are transferred
from one antenna to another antenna. The cell phone towers are placed on populated areas. The cell phone
consists of transceiver with low power. The transceivers are used to transmit data and voice to the nearest
places. Cell phones are connected with the cell. Every cell have their own cell id. This cell id number used
the concept GPS. In this research work the authors designed a new system for task alert system depends on
time, location and date .
Dhinakaran et al discussed about modern location based crowd source data analytics for Improving Indian
Economical Growth Using Recommendation System.

III PROPOSED METHOD

This proposed system is executed on Android based smart devices. This operating system is developed based
on Linux kernel. Initially it is developed for touch screen smart devices or computers. This operating system
was designed by Android, Inc. Later the Google Company bought the specified operating system in 2005. In
2008 the first Android based HTC phone was released. The main benefit of this operating system is user
friendly. It also allows the users to modify the smart devices home pages and allow exhibiting the real time
data such as weather condition, email notification, current location etc. The following fig 1 shows block
diagram of the proposed system for location based task reminder application. In this proposed system the smart
phone is the basic element. GPS receivers are used to get the users location from the GPS satellites. The WiFi
access point is mainly used to remain indoor events. Mainly the database is used to store the specific location
with the particular event. Using this system the user can able to store more than one event. The GPS receiver,
Wi-Fi and databases are connected directly with the user application interfaces in Android based smart device.

This proposed system is implemented by using Eclipse IDE based on Android Development apparatus. It is
tested with an ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101. Here Android version 4.0.3 is used to develop this particular
application. The stored locations are pin pointed on the Google maps. Red color icon represents indoor
locations. Purple color icons are represents outdoor locations. The following snap shot shows the
representations of indoor and outdoor locations.

Fig 2: User Interface of the Location Based Task App

Add Location tab is used to create the new location with specified task for indoor and outdoor
environments. If the user adds in door location, the data will be stored on INDOOR table. When the
user adds outdoor location with specified task, the data is stored on OUTDOOR table. By using Event
List button the user are able to see the stored list of events.
 The following fig 3 shows the fields stored in
the database.

IV RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

This system is mainly used for remind the daily activities. In this system works based on GPS communications.
This app is implemented in Android based mobile phones. Using this app the users are able to store the indoor
and outdoor locations with concern task. When the user reach the specified location the proposed app give the
remainder to the user using current location. The following fig 4 shows the set of already created events in the
user smart device. In this following snap shot shows three outdoor events and one indoor event with it specific
locations.
