Location Sharing Without Central Server
This paper describes a new model for sharing location info for
mobile users. This approach can operate without the need for
disclosing identity info to third party servers. It could be
described as a safe location sharing model. The proposed
approach creates a special form of distributed database that splits
location info and identity information. In this distributed data
store identity info is always saved locally. It eliminates one of
the main concerns with location-based systems – privacy. This
paper describes a model itself as well as its implementation in the
form of HTML5 mobile web application.
Keywords: HTML5, geo-coding, location sharing.
