asked on
gate Entrance Automatic SMS Notification
Hello Experts,
I am not sure whether had asked this type of request. Well I have to find an answer. I beleive this is right place to get answered.
We are healthcare provider and we are using a Oracle based hospital information system. My question is not related with software development.
Lets continue, we are looking for a requirement that whenever an appointed patient enters through the main gate of the hospital, he would recieve an text message on his mobile ( whatever). Our HIS application is mainly communicating with patients using cell phone number so we have there telephone details.
How is that possible ?
Is there any way to achieve this ?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
We have the mobiles details in our database. We don't need to poll any location.
We just want when gets through the gate the automatic notification is send. I don't mind if its done by door sensors that can be integrated HIS system

>>We just want when gets through the gate
and how is that event known, without knowing the location of the individuals concerned?
the event is "proximity to hospital gate"
proximity is a measure of distance
to measure distance you need 2 points
1 point is fixed (the gates)
the other point is (the mobile) :: how do you get to know this?
You would need the mobile to send you its current location unless I'm mistaken.
Or, you would have to poll the mobiles for location - which I don't think you can do.
I could be wrong, and anyone is able to know where I am at any time, without my knowledge or permission. If that's true I may re-consider my mobile phone carrier.

Hi,
I am not concerned with the locations I am not looking for any location data.
Is there any sensors cables of GSM technology that can be fixed on doors that can sense the mobile of patient and sent automated message.

you can detect mobile phones, e.g.
http://www.cellbusters.com/zone-detector-the-ultimate-in-cell-phone-detection/
I don't know if this also provides the device's phone number
(but maybe I'm just hoping they cannot)

This is a mobile phone detector where you dont want to allow mobiles
Others may have knowledge of the technology you are seeking - I don't.

Hi,
Thanks for the notes. I think we need to study more on this project. At this time I am closing this ticket by accepting your suggestive solution.
Thanks for the precious time.

mmmm
you would need to be polling location data of all [appointed patient] mobiles
do you have any method for polling (receiving data) those mobiles - at all?
seems to be an invasion of privacy (knowing where a person is by polling their mobile)
I strongly doubt you have this privilege.
I would suggest sending a text message based on a period of time prior to the appointment.
