O desenvolvimento de aplicaƧƵes para dispositivos móveis jĆ” nĆ£o Ć© uma Ć”rea recente, contudo continua a crescer a um ritmo veloz. Ć notório o avanƧo tecnológico dos Ćŗltimos anos e a crescente popularidade destes dispositivos. Este avanƧo deve-se nĆ£o só Ć grande evolução no que diz respeito Ć s caracterĆsticas destes dispositivos, mas tambĆ©m Ć possibilidade de criar aplicaƧƵes inovadoras, prĆ”ticas e passĆveis de solucionar os problemas dos utilizadores em geral.
Nesse sentido, as necessidades do quotidiano obrigam à implementação de soluções que satisfaçam os utilizadores, e nos dias de hoje, essa satisfação muitas vezes passa pelos dispositivos móveis, que jÔ tem um papel fundamental na vida das pessoas.
Atendendo ao aumento do número de raptos de crianças e à insegurança que se verifica nos dias de hoje, as quais dificultam a tarefa de todos os pais/cuidadores que procuraram manter as suas crianças a salvo, é relevante criar uma nova ferramenta capaz de os auxiliar nesta Ôrdua tarefa.
A partir desta realidade, e com vista a cumprir os aspetos acima mencionados, surge assim esta dissertação de mestrado. Esta aborda o estudo e implementação efetuados no sentido de desenvolver um sistema de monitorização de crianƧas. Assim, o objetivo deste projeto passa por desenvolver uma aplicação nativa para Android e um back-end, utilizando um servidor de base de dados NoSQL para o armazenamento da informação, aplicando os conceitos estudados e as tecnologias existentes. A solução tem como principais premissas: ser o mais user-friendly possĆvel, a otimização, a escalabilidade para outras situaƧƵes (outros tipos de monitorizaƧƵes) e a aplicação das mais recentes tecnologias.
Assim sendo, um dos estudos mais aprofundados nesta dissertação de mestrado estÔ relacionado com as bases de dados NoSQL, dada a sua importância no projeto.
The development of applications for mobile devices is no longer a new area, but continues to rapidly grow. It is remarkable the technological advances in last years and the growing popularity of these devices. This progress is due not only to the large developments about the characteristics of these devices, but also the ability to create innovative applications, practical solutions and solve problems of users in general. Accordingly, the needs of everyday life require the implementation of solutions which satisfy users, and nowadays, that satisfaction often goes by mobile devices, which already has a key role in people's lives. Attending to the increasing number of children abductions and insecurity nowadays makes it difficult for parents and caregivers to keep their children safe, therefore it is relevant to create a new tool, able to help parents and caregivers in this arduous task. From this fact, and in order to accomplish the aspects above, this dissertation is presented. This thesis describes the study and the development of the monitoring system for children. The objective of this project is to develop a native application for Android and a back-end using NoSQL database server for storing information, summarizing the studied concepts and implemented of technologies. The solution has the following main assumptions: being as user-friendly as possible, optimization, scalability to other situations (other types of monitoring in different conditions) and the appliance of state-of-the-art software technologies. Therefore, one of the detailed study in this dissertation is associated with NoSQL databases due to its importance in the project.
