| Abstract: | The tourist guide system using PDA by this project is a mobile web providing great interaction service and wide range information of the simulated venue, Festival Walk plaza in Kowloon Tong, to the visitor to the plaza.
With the Dijkstra’s algorithm, the system generates a routing table according to position of the shops and traffic and situation in different time period. The system provides service of displaying the shortest path between the sources and destinations the visitors specify. The system tackled the difficulties of displaying the routes on different floors and many problems in mobile web development. And the system provides general information of shops, newest events of the plaza and shops. On the other hand, the tour guide system provides service of cinema ticket reservations and restaurant reservations. In ticket reservation process, visitors can choose position of the seats with visual help of an interactive platform. Besides, advertisements are addressed on the system, so that the cooperation (Festival Walk Cooperation) can gain financial benefits.
The tourist guide system provides user-friendly administration service. Staff of the plaza can manage the position, blocking path details, general information of shops and plaza, and reservation details via web browser without changing the framework of the system.
On the other hand, the system has good security management. Membership application is required for the reservation services. The passwords of members are encrypted (MD5) so that even the administrators cannot know the password of the members. Also, notification message via SMS once the reservation is made successfully. No management is allowed without login, no direct access to specific pages of management is allowed as well. |
