InfoCity: seleção contextualizada da informação de eventos em uma cidade inteligente

Abstract

This work has as objective the development of a system capable of allowing the citizen integration with the intention of help the development and discovery of their cities. The way that was thought in order to elaborate this system, called InfoCity (informed city), was through the sharing of the information of events in an intelligent city. In a way that, by using an application for smartphones based on Android, was possible to visualize and add them on a map. However, because the number of events can be high, many of them could be useless for the user. So, if it was his interest, the returned events should be according to the context of where he is at. Thus, would be shown to him only the facts that has more chances in being relevant to him. For the storage of the shared event information, a server had to be created. Thereby, the acquiring and registration of the data by the application should be made through GET and POST requests. It’s the server, also, the responsability of defining which events are relevant for the user from the context of where he is at. Therefore, we can realize that the app has a very practical social usage. With the facilitation of the usage of the system we can infer a greater comfort of use and, thus, a greater number of users. This way it becomes capable of aggregate a large number of information of events that happens around the city and, also, a larger quantity of discussions about the paths that it’s taking. As well to offer the users more informations that are trustable and variable.
