1 Android Based Tourist Guide System Mrs.S.S.Pawar Ms.Ashwini S.Kadam M. E. P. HD(s/w Eng) pursuing Asst. Prof Sinhgad College of Engineering, Ms. Pooja R. Chavhan Ms. Priyanka R. Ranjane Ms. Arti S. Lohar Abstract Android phones we are using daily due to its features like GPS, GSM Computing ability and internet connection. Now-a-days there are many application of android which helps user to provide solutions to many problems related to their day to day life. We propose architecture of Android based tourist guide system for android mobile system that is able to provide tourism information to the mobile user conveniently. It can realize to query information for hotel, restaurant, and museums, so on and gives multi output and hence it has more practical significance. The android based tourist guide system is easy, efficient, quicker and flexible for all the needs of the tourist. Very useful features like recommendation and map notification is also included in this application for the better fulfillment of need of the user. Keywords GPS, GSM, Multi search, recommendation, map- notification Filtering. I. INTRODUCTION The main idea behind the project is to develop an android application which will help tourists to find the better place at one instant. The long time which Tourists waste on searching for the better places like Hotels, museums, parks etc for their enjoyment in the new city which is totally unknown to them will get reduced, if they use this application. Hence this idea was very new and useful for all those who love to travel in a new city on a regular basis. II. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW In our system basically we have three modules one for the query answering system second for recommendation to the user and third for the notification to the user using Google map. Module 1: First of all our system checks if the particular user is already register or not if he is then he has to login else he has to register himself. After login he will get the authentication by the system. After getting authentication from the system now he can access our application where, he can search for his query. Step 1:He has to select the city in which he is going to travel and stay hence all the information of that city only like (Hotels, Restaurants and all ) will be given to him.this is how the filtering of the content according to the users selection will be done. Step 2: In that city he has to select different categories which he is interested in like (Hotel, sports bar, parks etc). Step 3: After selecting the categories now he can enter all his requirements like (For how many days he wanted to stay in a hotel, Affordable money he can invest on different selected categories etc) These all the requirements given by the user will be considered as the query and will be sent to the 42

2 system.for giving answers to these queries system will do searching and filtering in the main database. After generating the output list from the main database which contain the main answer as well as the nearby option, this output will be sent back to the system and then the system will give this answers to the user in the sorted order. If in between user found that he has to change his requirements and the categories he can do so and again he can do the searching with the new needs. Module 2: This module contains the working of recommendation system in which system will recommend places like (Hotels, restaurants, parks etc) as per the POI (Point of interest) to the user. For doing the recommendation we have used the concept of content and collaborative filtering where the filtering is done between the choices of the main user as well as the remaining user. And remaining item after filtering will be recommend to the main user. Module 3: In this module we have applied the concept of giving notification using Google Map. Suppose particular user is right now staying in a hotel so with the help of the GPS our system will get his location coordinates and notifications for all the nearby locations or places like (Parks, Museums, etc) will be shown to him. III. EASE OF USE A. Easiest GUI designing for the better and very user friendly interface : We have taken into consideration the interfacing of the tourist with this application, because this is the one of the main thing that should be there into any of the android application because we are going to implement this on the Smartphone and hence the window size will be very less. Hence we have tried our best to keep the main front end as simple as possible for the user. Hence it will be very easy for the users o select anything as per their interest and search at the same time. B. Size of the application: The size of this application is very small and administrator will update the database. Hence because of the small size the memory requirement of this application is very less and hence it will work very fast and searching will be very fast. At the same time installation as well as updation will not be lengthy process. IV.

Developers are working on giving the correct weather conditions to the travellers while travelling. Strong focus on various kinds of transport facilities to the users on their way by accessing the smart phone. Walking and bus service, taking into account various aspects of alternative transport services (e.g. walking time to the nearest metro station, time dependent metro service frequencies, etc). People are working on correct location predication using various modern technologies during travelling using various algorithms.. Fig 9: Description of hotel. : VIII. CONCLUSIONS We present the design of android based tourist guide system. The system is based on three layer architecture. The system provides the information query of Hotels, Restaurants, Museums, Live shows and so on. The system is a combination of Smartphone and Internet to facilitate the tour of user.
