Abstract

近年來，智慧型手機的蓬勃發展，手機應用程式也隨之興盛，而軟體又以日常應用或者娛樂等應用程式為居多。而Google在2008年正式宣佈Android（安卓）手機平台，並公開所有原始碼後，Android儼然成為手機第一個完整的開放開發平台。在手機已是人手必備的趨勢下，智慧型手機相關的應用，將會如同個人電腦上般多元發展。 有鑑於此，我們利用了Android手機作為開發平台，結合GPS與Google Map的行動定位技術，實作一個逢甲夜市美食導覽的Android Application，幫助想要找到美食的人給以準確的地點或店家資訊，或是推薦人氣美食給使用者，並且導航目的地路線給使用者，此時智慧型手機將可發揮其便利性。然而，本Application依據使用者的要求可以進一步傳遞參數到Google Map伺服器達成雲端運算並回傳規劃路徑之結果，更能將使用者所喜好的美食記錄在清單之中，並可將清單上傳至伺服器達成雲端儲存。除了良好的使用者導覽平台外，本Application也設有店家平台，提供商家異動美食資料，讓使用者能夠及時掌握美食資訊，達成商家與使用者的互動，促進逢甲商圈的美食發展。

Mobile phones have become a necessity to mankind. Under such irreversible trend, smartphone applications will be further developed to bring to even more scenarios, similar to the development of PC software whose applications become diversified. In view of this trend, we choose a mobile phone running Android, and utilize the Android application development platform, which provides resources such as GPS and Google Map APIs. We design an intelligent gourmet recommendation application, which assists users to find restaurants or vendors and gives their exact locations as well as detailed information. The application is also capable of recommending the popular gourmet and navigating the users to the restaurants or vendors; smartphones brings convenience to people in such scenario. Moreover, the application can send our user inputs to the Google Map servers and retrieve the result of route planning by cloud computing. The users can store their favorite food list to the cloud storages. In addition to being a gourmet-navigation platform for consumers, the application is also a platform for gourmet-service providers, who are allowed to modify gourmet information, so that consumers obtain the latest, up-to-date information. With such feature, interaction between the user and the gourmet-service providers is created, and it brings Feng Chia night market to a whole new level.
