Design Challenge 2 - This time it's mobile
Name: "Dude, Where's my Car?"
Target Users: 18-50 yro
Information:
Problem: A smartphone user has their car stolen.
Solution: This app is designed to be a social media announcement and tracking application.
The idea is that the user may use the app to enter details of the car which is stolen along with a photograph which they may have on the phone also. Using linked accounts to twitter and facebook, this stolen car report is packaged up to as many social networks as possible with a forward/share link to allow the fastest spread of the notification.
As part of the notification, a [Reply] button would be available for anyone wishing to comment on this report. A person whom may not even be known to the original owner could pass comment that they have spotted the vehicle and a geo-tagged location would be returned to the owner via push notification.
Alerts may be restricted to users in social networks who are in a particular range (kms) of the stolen car event and passed automatically to police authorities looking after this area.
The application will be waiting in for a response by anyone who replies, or tags the vehicle with the app camera function. The Registration number will be flagged and the owner of the vehicle immediately notified.
All 'Found' notifications are only received by the owner of the vehicle and the person to lodged the report. Police can monitor and participate through interaction with the reports on the application.
Possible expansions of the concept:
"Dude, where's my' Cat?"
"Dude, where's my' Dog?"
"Dude, where's my' Boat?"
"Dude, where's my' Wife?"
