Notification on Idle and on Movement #95

Open Abyss777 opened 9 years ago

Abyss777 commented 9 years ago

It would be nice to have notifications on this events:

The Tracker is Idle more then some minutes (User should point the number of minutes in Settings)
The Tracker is moving in time that it shouldn't (User should point the schedule then moving is prohibited in Settings)

Examples:

The tracker is installed on the machine carrier. His manager wants to know then his courier isn't working but drinking coffee (more than 10 minutes). It would be nice to be able to specify the timetable for the courier. From 8:00 to 12:00 and from 12:30 to 17:00 from monday till friday.
The same situation. Boss want to know if somebody has taken the car at night. (from 17:00 to 08:00)
The tracker is installed on private car. Its owner wants to now then his car stolen. The schedule will be from 23:00 to 07:00 (car near house) and from 10:00 to 17:00 (car near work) from monday till friday.

This intersects with #25 (have no idea on how to implement it correctly yet), #60 and #88

Right now my next goal is to implement geofences.

How frequently is updating position.IdleSince ? (it happends in MapController.update()) Is it possible to do the work in NotificationServiceImpl.NotificationSender ?

vitalidze commented 9 years ago

It is updated with ApplicationSettings.updateInterval frequency (15 seconds by default). For the first time there is also a map of latest non-idle positions by device loaded from server (see DataServiceImpl.getLatestNonIdlePositions). This is used to calculate how much time device/vehicle is not moving (or when it stopped).

Well, it can be done in NotificationSender, but my approach is to split notification sending and notification events posting. So something posts events and then NotificationSender sends them to the users that expect to receive it (i.e. have access to the device, set up email and checked notifications box in his profile).

Abyss777 commented 9 years ago

Yes, sure, my mistake. Best way is creating new class in EventServiceImpl like MovingDetector and IdleDetector to rise new types of Events.

Need to expand the device settings to store timetables then events should be rised
Need to find cool library with visual control of timetable

A lot of work :( May be after geofences.
