Abstract:

This research introduced the latest method of tracking and locating of client-based mobile phone which will eliminate the limitation of the build-in GPS phone. It has been known that GPS usage is limited in buildings and places unreachable by satellite signal. In order to find better and more accurate results, the method of integrating Wi-Fi signal, cell locations and vector calculation to track and locate mobile phone whereabouts are introduced. Furthermore, it would also be beneficial to develop this method to be applied with other utility programs e.g. delivery truck tracking system or personal locating system via mobile phone.
