# Shake

CPE 409 Developing with Cloud Services

Winter 2015

Vision

	Conveniently find locations of others and optimize the process of regrouping

    Find friends at events in which separation from group is plausible e.g. music festivals, bars, shopping centers, casinos

    Find friends in general vicinity

  

Scope

	All Android and iOS users

	Events in which group separation is plausible and regrouping is an issue

  

  

General friend list

    Friends can be found via Facebook friends or phone number

    Friends can be trusted

      Can request location of trusted friends until untrusted or friend becomes hidden

    Trust circles (groups)

      All members of a trust circle are mutually trusted

      GroupMe and Facebook integration

      

 Finding friends

 

    Individual:

      Not trusted: Trackee must give permission to be tracked

      Trusted: Does not require trackee permission

    Trust circle:

      Does not require trackee permission for any trackee in circle

    Display movement flow between historical poll locations

Communication

    Photo sharing: ability to provide a visual location reference

    Group chat

Technical Overview:

Coding Languages and why

    

    Java for Android Platform because it is the native language for the platform

    

Cloud Platform and why

    

    Parse for backend data storage

API structure and why

    

    Facebook Graph API to pull friends, create groups, and send requests because it is already well established and takes care of social connections

    Google Maps for maps and location services because it is already well established

    

Cloud Database used to store application data, and why.

    

    Parse for backend data storage because it is already used by Facebook API

    

Code repository used, and why.

    

    GitHub because it’s what we used in class and is a very efficient subversion control system
