zDesign and implementation of a web services-based system for bike positioning

According to rapid developments in information technology (IT), wireless communication and network services has substantially changing the landscape of communications. Furthermore, associate facilities of bike leisure industry are developing rapidly in recent years due to the advocacy of the government in Taiwan. Therefore, information technologies used in bike leisure industry has increased substantially. In this paper, we first introduce web services and mobile devices interact with the web services. We then proposed a web services-based system for bike positioning. Finally, we will describe the typical design and implementation scenarios and design patterns for our system which bike riders can use different devices with different platforms such as mobile phones, PCs, tablet PCs, laptops, personal digital assistants equipped with Wireless LAN, 3G network and GPS to access the web services we proposed in our system. Bike riders´ can use their positioning system more flexible.
