Drunkit - Prototype

• Application has to help people and also provide funny services

• The application has to use readable character

• Before going out, the user will activate the application so the function can start working

• Standard application to be used in main global cities

Private information

Put any useful private information you are not sure to remember when you are drunk.

Home addressImportant contacts for emergency calls

(best-friend, brothers/sisters, parents)Social insurance number, blood group.

Go Home Two services with GPS

System:

Taxi service: address registered into application + GPS localize taxis using app

Rent a Driver: drivers bring you

home with your own car

Go HomeGo Home Process

Alarm System

Two services:

Alarm the user set before going out- customized a convincing message- speaker: kid, grand-parents,

girlfriend or boyfriend (whoever you want)

Alarm the user set in the metro

- Same idea as Jihachul alarm- Wakes you up one station before

Alarm Example

« Daddy, come home please it is 2am, it is time. Mummy told me you were not supposed to go home too late tonight because you have a lot to do tomorrow. I did a nightmare, I need you to reassure me. I love you »

Pre-written Messages

What to avoid ?

Many of our friends already had a fight because of messages sent when they were drunk.

What about you ?

Pre-written Messages

Have to answer an easy enigma/question:

- If wrong answer (3 answers) only pre-written message to your relatives (list)

Database of messages already writtenPossibility to design messages the way you

want before going out/getting drunk.

Benefit

IndividualSafely homeConveniencePersonal relationship

SocietyReduce drunk driving accidentsA better solution to allocate the resourceBenefit to private sectors

Conclusion Application does not encourage moral

behavior but are people moral when they go out?

So many ideas can also be implemented if users need other services:Bluetooth connection between application and carLocation Tracks movement (every 30 s) resumed

on a mapAddress translated in the local language countryFacial recognition

Thanks a lot for your attention

Updates Summary of the current key functions

1. Go home process (Rent a driver & Taxi)2. Alarm system3. Pre-written message

Future developmenta. Security updates

a. “Connect and update with emergency contactor.” Once user gets on a taxi, app automatically sends a message (includes time, the taxi’s number and contact) to the emergency contact’s number/ app. User’s emergency contact can track the taxi’s driving route and know when the user gets off with the app.

b. “Vague address.”Destination address only includes the general neighborhood area information (location to get off), rather than specific home address. This directly protects user’s private information.

c. “Two dimension code.”Once user connects to a taxi, app sends the user a two dimension code. When the user gets on the taxi, the drive can scan the code with his/her phone to receive the destination address from the system.

b. Generalization of the app functiona. “Home App” for children or old people (1. Families can track user’s location constantly; 2.

User can go home easily with the app guidance themselves/ by taxi. )b. Low-budget option: Considering some users may not be capable of using smart phone. Users

will not necessarily carry a smart phone, but a normal location tracker with GPS function. In the case, families can track user’s locations on own smart phone. This low-budget device not only applies to children and the elder, but also the pets, such as cat, dog, and etc.
