ConceptLifeLogger is a small, wearable device that automatically logs the users location and other information to create a digital journal of their life. When paired with an Android smartphone over Bluetooth, LifeLogger will be able to communicate GPS locations to a server maintaining a database of the user's friends in real-time, allowing for the system to alert the user to nearby friends. MotivationWhile GPS logging and personal analytics devices exist today, most of these devices are focused on fitness and exercise. lifeLogger seeks to expand on current fitness tracking devices by also collecting photos and conversations and assembling this information into easy to read webpages that the user can view at any time. By shifting the focus towards a social environment, lifeLogger also hopes to actively use the data it is collecting to ensure that the user never misses an opportunity to meet up with a nearby friend. CompetitionFitBitFitbit is an ultra-portable device used to collect fitness data about the user, i.e. steps taken, calories burned, sleep quality, etc., which they can view later. Our system will collect much more data for the user, i.e. location, photos, conversations, etc., and be able to use this information in an active matter by alerting the user to nearby friends. Qstarz BT-Q1300S NanoThis product is very similar to ours as far as hardware, having both GPS and Bluetooth pairing. LifeLogger will have an edge over the Nano in several areas. First, the lifeLogger system has a social aspect, allowing the user to build a network of friends, and be alerted when those friends our nearby. Second, the software included with the Nano does not connect with the internet, meaning the user can only access it from the PC that they saved their logged information to. With lifeLogger, however, the user's information is stored on our servers, allowing the user to access it from anywhere. Motorola MotoactvThe Motoactv is a feature rich product capable of GPS logging and fitness data collection, as well as a portable music player. It is capable of syncing the data it collects to the internet, where the user can view it later. While the Motoactv and lifeLogger share many features, they differ in their focus. Motoactv focuses solely on fitness, where lifeLogger wants to collect much more data for the user. Also, again, lifeLogger has a strong social aspect. RequirementsFunctional
