Abstract: My person localisation and alerting network (myPLAN) is an application for cautioning connections in deadlock situations. myPLAN is a mobile application (app) developed for Android enabled smartphone. The app invokes global positioning system (GPS) application programming interface (API) from the smartphone to retrieve the location data. The whereabouts of an individual are incorporated using GPS module and Wi-Fi networks that are embedded in the device. GPS and Wi-Fi sensors utilise triangulation techniques to pinpoint the exact location on the global map. The application involves in linking the entity with the known people. myPLAN app unlocks with a code. An individual can inform the associated people about the whereabouts in case of trouble. The person can alert the connections about the location and time via short message service (SMS) and e-mail with the entity details along with the location coordinates.
