LifeAware (TM) enables you to locate your friends and family members on your phone or the LifeAware (TM) website. It also allows you to set zones for specific friends and be alerted when friends enter or leave those zones. Be notified when any of your friends are within a specified distance of your current location or other pre-determined locations. Create and share location aware GeoLists. Updates to the lists by any friend are displayed to the entire “share group” of friends.

Using Android’s location APIs, LifeAware (TM) enables you to locate your friends and family in relation to your current position, search for places near you, create location aware GeoLists, and set up proximity alerts based on your friends’ locations.

Leveraging the Maps API, location mapping and informational overlays provide the users with information about their position, surrounding areas, and the location of their friends and family members. Interactive maps provide visual creation of alert zones by tapping the map to increase or decrease the size of the zones.

Background service capabilities available with the Android platform, allow LifeAware (TM) to function even when the main application is not active on the user’s phone.

JOYity is a platform for designing and running a new kind of mobile game. Players interact with the platform itself and with other Players (either via platform or in real life). The Games use location-based services in order to make Players leave the sofa to complete Quests and meet other Players. Game Designers can design their own Games using the Android device as well.

Since JOYity Games usually make intensive use of location-based services, the platform utilizes the GPS and map features of Android. JOYity reacts to the Players’ position and movement. For example, the Game might include riddles asking for a sight close to the current position.

JOYity uses many different media for user communication. For example, the Player might watch a picture and hear an audio file and get information both ways. The Player needs to combine the information to perform the next task.

The Android device is not only used for playing, but also for designing new Games. JOYity combines the WebView with other native Android features for the Designer application.
