碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 104 === In recent years, the rapid development of science and technology has made many cities develop smart city related applications. These cities dedicate to collect urban governance information and post on the open data platform, for promoting a variety of value-added applications and innovative services. Most smartphones today are equipped with Internet and wireless sensing capabilities, which lead to a new trend for using smartphones in smart city applications and services. This research uses the beacon sensor combined with open government data to develop smart city applications. We have developed three subsystems, first map navigation subsystem, second urban transportation subsystem, and third messages pushing subsystem, to provide a demonstration application for smart city. The map navigation subsystem uses GPS and iBeacon technologies. It extends originally comfortable navigation context from outdoors to indoors, allowing users to enter the vast interior space, such as Taipei Main Station, museums, amusement parks. This subsystem can continue to use smart phone to navigate and use voice to inform the user's current location and direction. The urban transport subsystem uses government transportation open data and convert them into simple visualized information so that users can obtain traffic information at a glance, which not only can guide user direction but also can get instant traffic situation. The messages pushing subsystems applies iBeacon technology, which can enable advertising messages push into user’s mobile phone while user walks near to the beacon sensors. It can replace part of the street road signs and commercial flyers. The three subsystems can be combined to create more advanced integrated services such as: guiding service for campaign events, providing an alternative road route information, and set up advertise-pushing spot efficiently.
