KAZ Software
Software Engineer April 2008 November 2008
Develop a mobile phone client in Symbian C++ that will continuously run as a daemon process and
will update the user s location using the phone s built-in GPS. GPS-based location update is costly in
terms of the phone s battery-power. The goal was to minimize battery-power consumption through
intelligent scheduling using the phone s built-in accelerometer.
