A Bluemix application

1. iReport
A Bluemix app that allows user to report current pressing
events, issues or accidents happening in the city,
neighborhood or at home.

2. IDEA & USE CASE
 The application concept allows user to report any pressing issues
happening in the city via social and community engagement in the cloud.
Users or citizens can easily report real time and location-based events
from issues such as car accidents, fire, floods, water leakage, broken
street lights or blackouts, shooting, explosions, inappropriate parking,
improper garbage disposal to social events like earth hour, protests,
rallies, conventions and others to increase community awareness by
taking a photos/videos and posting it. Sensors are also set up in places
which are most populated or prone to common issues to track data for
analysis. Other users can also comment and add related reports or tag
other people that are concerned and has authorities to resolved the
problem or are at the location.
 Sensors are placed to monitor air temperature and pollution, air
pressure, water quality, heat, motion, radiation and car speed.

3. IDEA & USE CASE
 Users can send photos of leaking pipes and select the type of issue
being reported in the categories, from energy, water, accidents, social
events and many others, which is viewable by authorities and
companies, once the report is submitted, it alerts the government
organization or water companies to have it fixed the soonest possible to
avoid water waste.
 Other users can view the posted reports with map and details.
 Users can report a recent car accident, to inform users to select a
different route to avoid heavy traffic.
 Sensors also monitor heat and smoke, so when there is fire in the area,
before if goes wild, nearby users, authorities and fire departments are
notified via push notifications and can easily dispatch team for
assistance. It also produces an alarm sound to notify nearby users
without smartphones.

4. IDEA & USE CASE
 Users can post photos of current social events happening like earth hour
to alert people of recent community happenings real time, and allow
other users to participate and help the community.
 Sensors and user reports allows transparency and real time awareness
to warn citizens for negative happenings and invite users for positive
happenings.
 Sensors can also detect explosions from guns, bombs, car accidents and
other kinds and helps police and authorities determine cause.
 The main use of this app is to alert users of what's happening and allow
other concerned citizens, government organizations and companies to
perform action.

5. EXPERIENCE
 Since this is a real time report, it is recommended that posting the report
will only take within 5-10 seconds.
 Users can upload 1or 2 photos and a video of 10 seconds that
appropriately describe the event. If it is a fire, the photo/video must show
the smoke or fire and the location of the incident.
 If the user has more photos or videos, he/she can then add more in the
more detail section of the app after it has been posted. This allows the
report to be posted as fast as possible for other users/authorities to
action and add more details later.

6. EXPERIENCE
User is asked to upload the title, category and any media file
associated. Media file is optional and can add later. Then select the
location and post it. Since this is posted in the cloud, users can
easily access the posts. They can share and tag other users to
increase user population.

7. IMPLEMENTATION
The app will be used for city awareness and users will have ability to
invite and share users from other social media platforms.
The app will be built using Bluemix IoT, Mobile Cloud, Big Data and
Analytics, Watson Q&A.
Usage of mobile data & push notifications for easy alerts.
Analytics for data analysis.
IoT for use of sensors monitoring and data capturing.
NodeJs for the backend
Cloud integration
DevOps App registry and monitoring and analysis
