ABSTRACT

Nowadays, many people who live at home, whether living alone, with housemates, or with

families, feel lonely and bored when they cannot do any outdoor activities with other people.

This will make them more likely to find appropriate activities in the house to eliminate their

loneliness and boredom. One of the best activities is to have a pet as it can create a cute and

cheerful atmosphere. But how bad would it be for the pet owners if their pets did not come home

and they would lose their pets forever? Tracker-Pet Collar Application (T-PC Apps) to Track Pet

Using GPS Sensor is developed to send the location of the pets that are tracked by Global

Positioning System (GPS) tracker with Mobile Application (Mobile Apps). This technology is

encouraged for those who have a pet and worry about losing their pets. There are a few systems

that use GPS trackers with Mobile Apps in Malaysia. But if there is, more developers are

developing technologies that focus on the vehicles but not on the pets. Therefore, pet owners

especially in our country have to spend their own energy, time, and money if they lose their pets.

This technology provides GPS which is a receiver that receives signals from anywhere in the

world through satellites and works independently to send information through network and

smartphone. This technology also develops Mobile App which is a software that runs in a

smartphone as an application and works limitedly. In conclusion, this technology helps users,

especially pet owners, to track the location of their pets without having to worry about losing

them.

ABSTRAK

Pada masa kini, ramai orang yang tinggal di rumah, sama ada tinggal bersendirian, dengan

rakan serumah, atau bersama keluarga akan merasa kesunyian dan bosan apabila mereka tidak

dapat melakukan aktiviti di luar rumah dengan orang lain. Ini akan menjadikan mereka lebih

cenderong untuk mencari aktiviti yang sesuai di dalam rumah bagi menghilangkan kesunyian

dan kebosanan mereka. Salah satu aktiviti yang terbaik adalah memiliki haiwan peliharaan

kerana ia dapat mewujudkan suasana yang comel dan ceria. Tetapi bagaimana kecewanya

pemilik haiwan peliharaan sekiranya haiwan peliharaan mereka tidak pulang dan haiwan

peliharaan mereka hilang selamanya? Aplikasi Pengesan-Kolar Haiwan Peliharaan untuk

Mengesan Haiwan Peliharaan Menggunakan Sistem Kedudukan Global dibangunkan untuk

menghantar lokasi haiwan peliharaan yang dikesan oleh Sistem Kedudukan Global dengan

Aplikasi Mudah Alih. Teknologi ini digalakkan untuk mereka yang mempunyai haiwan

peliharaan dan mereka yang bimbang kehilangan haiwan peliharaan. Terdapat beberapa sistem

yang menggunakan Sistem Kedudukan Global dengan Aplikasi Mudah Alih di Malaysia. Tetapi

jika ada, lebih banyak pembangun sedang membangunkan teknologi yang memberi tumpuan

kepada kenderaan tetapi tidak kepada haiwan peliharaan. Oleh itu, pemilik haiwan peliharaan

terutama di negara kita harus menghabiskan tenaga, masa, dan wang mereka sendiri sekiranya

mereka kehilangan haiwan peliharaan mereka. Teknologi ini menyediakan Sistem Kedudukan

Global yang merupakan penerima yang menerima isyarat dari mana saja di dunia melalui

satelit dan berfungsi secara bebas untuk menghantar maklumat melalui rangkaian dan telefon

pintar. Teknologi ini juga membangunkan Aplikasi Mudah Alih yang merupakan perisian yang

berjalan di telefon pintar sebagai aplikasi dan berfungsi dengan terhad. Kesimpulannya,

vi

teknologi ini membantu pengguna, terutama pemilik haiwan peliharaan, untuk mengesan lokasi

haiwan peliharaan mereka tanpa perlu risau kehilangannya.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1) Introduction

Mobile Application (Mobile Apps) and Internet of Things (IoT) are two different

technologies that are both already part of our life. Their adoption and use are expected to be

more and more pervasive, making them important components of the future internet. A model

paradigm where Mobile Apps and IoT are merged together is foreseen as a disruptive and as an

enabler of a larger number of application scenarios. The IoT paradigm is based on intelligent and

self-configuring nodes (things) interconnected in a dynamic and global network infrastructure. It

represents one of the most disruptive technologies, enabling ubiquitous and pervasive computing

scenarios. IoT is generally characterized by real world small things, widely distributed, with

limited storage and processing capacity, which involve concerns regarding reliability,

performance, security, and privacy. Thus, a novel IT paradigm in which Mobile Apps and IoT

are two complementary technologies merged together is expected to disrupt both current and

future internet. Reviewing the rich and articulate state of the art in this field, both topics gained

popularity in the last few years (Raikar et al., 2020).

1.2) Problems Statement

This section discussed a few problems without T-PC Apps. Pet owners often have trouble

losing their pets and feel uneasy when they lost their pets in just one then, their feelings must be

2

really painful if they lost their pets for a day, a week or a year. At the same time, pet owners

spend a lot of their energy, time, and money for their pets such as looking after their pets from

day to day and willingly offer to pay a lot of money to anyone who can find their pets. Pet

owners rarely can find a system that focuses on tracking missing pets because the existing

technologies that also apply GPS and Mobile Apps especially in our country focus more on

vehicles. Pet owners often need to pay for the pet tracker with an unreasonable price so that they

can buy this technology from our own country without having to pay expensive overseas

shipping costs.

1.3) Objectives

The main objective of this project is to create a system that will help pet owners to solve

their problems such as losing their pets and assure them that the T-PC Apps to Track Pet using

GPS Tracker is a system that meets the needs of user requirements. The real objectives of the

project are as stated:

a) To design an architecture of communication between the tracker sensor and mobile

apps.

b) To develop a mobile application and GPS tracker to send and receive location data.

c) To test and evaluate functionalities and capabilities of the mobile application and GPS

tracker.

1.4) Scopes

Scope of this project are divided into three elements. There are user, module, and

technology. The scope will describe the boundaries of the project.

3

a) User

The pet owner Register the pet owner profile such as pet owner id, email, phone,

pet owner photo, and password, Manage the pet profile such as pet id and pet photo,

Track the GPS location such as latitude, longitude, street, city, and state, Notify the

Admin such as report or feedback, and Save the history such as frequent location.

b) Module

The user requests and receives tracked location

c) Technology

• Mini GPS tracker

• Android platform mobile apps

• Mini GPS tracker technology to track the location data and Android platform

mobile apps to display the location data.

1.5) Limitations of Work

This section discussed a few limitations in T-PC Apps. The system focuses on tracking

pet location only. The detection of pet location will not accurate perfectly so it requires pet

owner efforts for better search. Since, the system tracks inaccurate pet location, it only provides

pet owners with some data and hint about the detection of pet location.

1.6) Expected Results

The expected result for this system in this project is as stated:

4

a) An Android platform mobile app will be developed where it can be used to track pets

via mini GPS tracker.

b) A User which is the pet owner will use the mobile apps and GPS tracker to track the

location of the pets that will display on the smartphone via Google Maps.

1.7) Project Structures

This project consists of four chapters, Chapter 1 that consists of background, problems

statement, objectives, scopes, limitations of work, and expected results. Chapter 2 consists of

literature review’s introduction, Global-Positioning System, mobile application, current

applications, related system researches, and literature review’s summary. Chapter 3 consists of

research methodology’s introduction, prototyping methodology (project’s method), architecture

diagram, context diagram, data flow diagram, entity relationship diagram (ERD), and research

methodology’s summary. Chapter 4 consists of initial design’s introduction, proof of concept,

and initial design’s summary.

CHAPTER 2

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1) Introduction

In this chapter, the attention focuses on the integration of Global-Positioning System

(GPS) and Mobile Apps. Many works in literature have surveyed Mobile Apps and GPS

separately and more precisely, their main properties, features, underlying technologies, and open

issues. However, to the best of our knowledge, these works lack a detailed analysis of the new

Mobile Apps and GPS paradigm, which involves completely new applications, challenges, and

research issues. To bridge this gap, this project provides a literature survey on the integration of

Mobile Apps and GPS. Starting by analyzing the basics of both GPS and Mobile Apps, the

complementary is analyzed, detailing what is currently driving to their integration. Thanks to the

adoption of the Mobile Apps and GPS paradigm a number of applications are gaining

momentum, the pictures of Mobile Apps and GPS applications are provided in literature with the

focus on their specific research challenges. These challenges are then analyzed in detail to show

where the main body of research is currently heading. The availability in terms of platforms,

both proprietary and open source and project implementing the Mobile Apps and GPS paradigm

are analyzed. (Nalla & El-Ocla, 2017).

2.2) Global Positioning System

6

Based on Your Dictionary, Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of satellites,

computers, and receivers that is enabled to determine the latitude and longitude of a receiver on

Earth by calculating the time difference from signals from different satellites to reach the

receiver. GPS is also defined as a system of satellites combined with receivers on the Earth that

determines the latitude and longitude of any particular receiver through triangulation. The

distance of the receiver to three of the satellites is ascertained by measuring the time-delay of a

predetermined radio signal called a pseudo-random code. Errors in timing can be corrected by

checking the signals against the signal from a fourth satellite. Current systems can pinpoint the

location of the receiver with an accuracy of around 5m (16 ft). The system is used for navigation,

surveying, and many other applications. Furthermore, GPS is defined as:

● Any system which enables a mobile receiver to determine its precise location based on

signals received from the US military, the Russian GLONASS system, or the proposed

Galileo European alternative system

● Gives the exact location of someone or some place. The location is based on information

transmitted from a constellation of 24 satellites

GPS are extremely versatile and can be found in almost any industry sector. They can be

used to map forests, help farmers harvest their fields, and navigate airplanes on the ground or in

the air. GPS systems are used in military applications and by emergency crews to locate people

in need of assistance. GPS technologies are often working in many areas that are not normally

considered. GPS applications generally fall into five major categories:

● Location to determine the position

● Navigation to get from one location to another

7

● Tracking to monitoring object or personal movement

● Mapping to create maps of the world

● Timing to bring precise timing to the world

2.3) Mobile Application

A mobile application (mobile apps) is a software application developed specifically for

use on small, wireless computing devices such as smartphones and tablets rather than desktop or

laptop computers. Mobile apps are designed with consideration for the demands and constraints

of the devices and also to take advantages to any specialized capabilities:

● Gaming apps might take advantage of the iPhone’s accelerometer.

● web-based or native apps which are created specifically for a given platform.

● A hybrid app, combines elements of both native and web apps.

● As the technologies mature, it’s expected that mobile application development efforts

will focus on the creation of browser-based, device-agnostic web applications.

Besides, based on Technopedia, a mobile application is most commonly referred to as an

app, is a type of application software designed to run on mobile devices such as a smartphone or

tablet computer. Mobile apps frequently serve to provide users with similar services to those

accessed on PCs. Mobile apps are generally small, individual software units with limited

function. The use of mobile apps software was originally popularized by Apple Inc. and its App

Store which offers thousands of applications for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch. Mobile apps

also may be known as apps, web apps, online apps, or smartphone apps. Moreover, mobile apps

8

are a move away from the integrated software systems generally found on PCs. Instead, each app

provides limited and isolated functionality such as a game, calculator or mobile web browsing.

Although applications may have avoided multitasking because of the limited hardware resources

of the early mobile devices, their specificity is now part of their desirability because they allow

consumers to hand-pick what their devices are able to do. The simplest mobile apps take PC-

based applications and port them to a mobile device. As mobile apps become more robust, this

technique is somewhat lacking. A more sophisticated approach involves developing specifically

for the mobile environment, taking advantages of both its limitations and advantages. For

example, apps that use location-based features are inherently built from the ground up with an

eye to mobile given that the user does not have the same concept of location on a PC.

record movement, examine energy, and many more. Therefore, the use of GPS in tracking

systems is still appropriate even in 2019.

2.6) Summary

In order to establish a new improvised system and to understand the process, function,

and constraint, the current systems have been studied. Stopanik GPS Tracker, Reachfar GPS

Tracker, Pod Tracer, and iPet GPS Tracker are the current applications that have been researched

15

on their procedures and requirements. The current applications that lead among them are

Stopanik GPS Tracker and Reachfar GPS Tracker which they still need a lot of implementations

to satisfy their users means my apps, T-PC Apps can take this as an advantage to compete with

them to be better and meet the user’s satisfaction. My apps must focus on tracking a pet because

the current applications are more focused on tracking another object and my apps must enable to

send and receive notifications and histories just on the apps so that there are no credit charges

and mix downloaded documents. T-PC Apps must be developed to have more needed functions

than the current applications to provide the new system that can be used with more proper

functions for the users.

CHAPTER 3

METHODOLOGY

3.1) Introduction

In this chapter, the attention focuses on the method that the system used which is

Prototype Methodology. Prototype methodology is defined as a software development model in

which a prototype is built, tested, and then reworked when needed until an acceptable prototype

is achieved. It is also creating a base to produce the final system. The other diagrams that the

system used are focused which are architecture diagram, context diagram (CD), data flow

diagram (DFD), and entity relationship diagram (EFD). Architecture diagram is a collection of

neat colored boxes and pictograms connected by arrows (Al-fedaghi & Al-qemlas, 2020).

Context diagram is the description of the overview functionalities required by the external

entities, it can be decomposed into a number of sublevels DFDs hierarchical manner (Setiaji &

Setiawan, 2020). Data flow diagram is a technique that is used to express system requirement in

graphical form (Jaffari et al., 2020). Entity relationship diagram is a data model for describing

the data or information aspects of a process that lends itself to ultimately being implemented in a

database (Umar, 2020).

3.2) Prototype Methodology

17

Figure 3.1: The illustration of prototype methodology phase.

3.2.1) Requirements

In this phase, requirement analysis is defined. The requirements of the system are that

most of the users are more likely to use the mobile apps than web apps because mobile apps are

faster, great functionality, safe and secure. Furthermore, mobile apps are easier to build. Based

on the interview, the user’s expectations from the system are usability, performance, and

reliability. Then, the simpler and intuitive the system is the better, the system to be fast without

causing battery issues, and relevant data.

3.2.2) Quick Design

In this phase, system design is created. To create a better design, the context is

understood, stay unique, process is defined, focus on communication, contributions are increased

through modularity, and be mindful of decision debt. However, the system design does not have

to be complete because the faster the design is created, the faster the prototype is developed.

3.2.3) Build Prototype

In this phase, a prototype is developed. The prototype is developed based on what we

have done in the Quick Design phase. The idea of the prototype is the system allows the users to

18

sign up, log in, edit profile, and get related information. Since the interface design is based on the

Android interface design, the system is developed using an Android platform and for the

Android users.

3.2.4) User Evaluation

In this phase, the proposed system is presented. The proposed system has its own strength

and weakness. The proposed system weakness is more expensive, like expensive to maintain and

update, and difficult to get a native app approved. Although the system tools are expensive, it is

reasonable because the system is easier to build due to the availability of developer’s tools,

interface elements, and SDKs. Moreover, although the system is difficult to get native app

approved, it makes the system safe and secure because native apps must first be approved by the

app store. The user comments are collected.

3.2.5) Refining Prototype

In this phase, the prototype is refined. However, the prototype is refined if the user is not

satisfied enough with the prototype because the prototype is refined according to the user

comments. This phase will keep repeating as long as the system did not reach the user

requirement and satisfaction. Then, the system is developed according to the latest approved

prototype.

3.2.6) Implement and Maintain

In this phase, the system is tested and deployed. The system is tested and deployed to

prevent sudden failure or any unwanted situation like the system stops all of a sudden.

19

3.3) Architecture Diagram

Figure 3.2: The Architecture Diagram of T-PC Apps.

The details explanation of each steps as in the photo are as below:

i) Radio is used by the tracking stations to determine orbits of the GPS satellites.

ii) Orbital data, time corrections, and location of other satellites in the GPS constellation

is transmitted by command center.

iii) Synchronized time and orbital data transmitted by GPS satellites simultaneously to

Earth.

The location using orbital data and the difference in arrival times of the signals is

computed by GPS receivers on at least four satellites.

3.4) Context Diagram (CD)

20

Figure 3.3: The Context Diagram (CD) of T-PC Apps.

The context diagram of this T-PC Apps to Track Pet Using GPS Tracker process is

placed at the middle of the diagram. Three external entities PET OWNER, ADMIN, and

TRACKER are placed around the middle process. There are 18 data flows involved. The PET

OWNER entity has six data flows in and six data flows out to the system to be processed which

are PET OWNER SIGN UP INFORMATION, PET OWNER SIGN UP CONFIRMATION,

PET OWNER, PET DETAIL, PET LOCATION, PET FREQUENT, and REPORT OR

FEEDBACK. The ADMIN entity has two data flows in and two data flows out which are

ADMIN SIGN UP INFORMATION, ADMIN SIGN UP CONFIRMATION, and REPORT OR

FEEDBACK. The TRACKER entity has one data flow in and one data flow out which is PET

LOCATION.

3.5) Data Flow Diagram (DFD)

3.5.1) Level 0

21

Figure 3.4: The Data Flow Diagram (DFD) Level 0 of T-PC Apps.

The DFD Level 0 of this T- PC Apps to Track Pet Using GPS Tracker. There are three

entities which are PET OWNER, ADMIN, and TRACKER. There are five main processes which

are REGISTER, MANAGE, TRACK, NOTIFY, and SAVE. There are five data stores which are

ADMIN, PET OWNER, PET, TRACKER, and HISTORY.

● PET OWNER needs to input PET OWNER SIGN UP INFORMATION like pet owner

id, password, email, phone, and pet owner photo in order to get access to the system. The

22

PET OWNER SIGN UP INFORMATION will proceed under the REGISTER process. If

the PET OWNER SIGN UP INFORMATION entered by PET OWNER is incorrect with

the PET OWNER SIGN UP INFORMATION in the ADMIN data store then, PET

OWNER will not get to access the system.

● ADMIN need to input ADMIN SIGN UP INFORMATION like admin id, password,

email, phone, and admin photo in order to get access to the system. The ADMIN SIGN

UP INFORMATION will proceed under the REGISTER process. If the ADMIN SIGN

UP INFORMATION entered by ADMIN is incorrect with the ADMIN SIGN UP

INFORMATION in the ADMIN data store then ADMIN will not get to access the

system.

● After PET OWNER can log in to the system, PET OWNER will proceed under the

MANAGE process, the PET OWNER DETAIL will be sent to the PET OWNER data

store and the PET DETAIL will be sent to the PET data store.

● PET OWNER can send REPORT OR FEEDBACK in order to inform or suggest

anything. The REPORT OR FEEDBACK will proceed under the NOTIFY process, if the

REPORT OR FEEDBACK sent by the PET OWNER has been viewed and considered by

ADMIN then, PET OWNER will receive the feedback.

● PET OWNER can request PET FREQUENT LOCATION in order to search for the

object if there is any unexpected problem from the device. The PET FREQUENT

LOCATION will proceed under the SAVE process, if the PET FREQUENT LOCATION

requested by the PET OWNER has been recorded by the HISTORY data store then, PET

OWNER will receive the location.

23

● TRACKER can request PET LOCATION in order to search for the object. The PET

LOCATION will proceed under the TRACK process, if the PET LOCATION requested

by the TRACKER has been recorded by the TRACKER data store then, TRACKER will

receive the location.

CHAPTER 4

IMPLEMENTATION AND RESULT

4.1) Introduction

In this chapter, the implementation and result of the system is focused. The system

implementation is having the user module where the user’s detail and their pet’s detail can be

created, read, updated and deleted and the pet’s location can be read by the user as well. When

the user enters the system, they will receive the pet’s location from the GPS sensor in order to

help the user to view their pet’s location. Furthermore, the test of the system is carried out.

4.2) Interface Design

One of the important processes to develop a system is interface design. The high-

performance, activity, stability, low-cost of the system can be discussed and ensured by doing

well with numerous efforts in establishing and optimizing the interface design (Niu et al., 2020).

This stage is to consider the many design’s aspect like making the user-friendly system by

getting the user’s input and producing output of the interface. So, the interface design of the

system in this project is designed consistently to ensure the system is well-function for the users.

4.4) Testing Analysis

The black-box and the white-box testing are the techniques that consist in the testing of

the system. In the software engineering industry, software testing is an important activity

although it is costly because that industry still faces many challenges in their software testing

(Garousi et al., 2020). The software's correctness, security, completeness, and the quality can be

identified by using the software testing. To ensure that the system is functioning well, testing is

needed after the implementation phase.

CHAPTER 5

CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION

5.1) Introduction

In this final chapter, the conclusion and discussion of the project is explained. This

chapter consists of project contribution, project constraint and limitations, and future work.

5.2) Project Contribution

Tracker-Pet Collar Application (T-PC APP) to Track Pet Using Global-Positioning

System (GPS) Sensor is created to help users, especially pet owners, track their pet's location by

providing a GPS sensor attached to an object that can be worn by pets. This GPS sensor helps

users avoid incidents such as lost pets while reducing pet owner anxiety and sadness.

Furthermore, this GPS sensor helps users in some key aspects such as safety, cost, and time.

First, in terms of safety, users can see the area where their pets are traveling so users can save

their pets if the area is close to dangerous areas. Second, in terms of cost, users can spend their

money by buying GPS sensors provided from this system only compared to when users spend

more money on posters and the public to look for their pets. Third, in terms of time, users can go

straight to the area detected by the GPS sensor without having to go to an area where none of

their pets are there. Therefore, this system’s objectives and scopes have been fulfilled, thus the

main goal of this project is to satisfy the needs of users especially pet owners to track their pet

using GPS sensors.

58

5.3) Project Constraints and Limitations

The creation of this system has several constraints and limitations which are:

5.3.1) The user will not be exposed to the system unless they buy the GPS sensor first.

5.3.2) The user cannot track their pet’s location if the GPS sensor is damaged.

5.4) Future Work

The system can be created to be more efficient with more functions in the future if the

system is exposed to the users then they can buy the GPS sensor by having an E-Commerce

module in the system. The system provides durable and not easily damaged GPS sensors so that

the users can use the GPS sensor longer.

5.5) Conclusion

In a nutshell, Tracker-Pet Collar Application (T-PC APP) to Track Pet Using Global-

Positioning System (GPS) Sensor is the system that focuses on helping the users, especially pet

owners, to track their pet’s location. Based on the recent five years journals, GPS is still one of

the suitable systems used for tracking an object. I am sure this system will be able to work with

its current functionality and I hope that this system will be able to grow with more functionality

so that more users can be helped.
