Walkock is an alarm clock application which works in two modes. The normal mode and the walk mode. The normal mode functions just like an ordinary app. It rings at the set the time and can be turned off by toggling the radio button avaiable on screen.
The walk mode uses GOOGLE's application programming interface(API) to generate an alarm which doesn't stop ringing until the person sleeping beisdes his smart phone gets up and starts walking. IOS has CMMOTIONACTIVITY which works on the same principle as Google API. Google's API functions uses the principles of machine learning on the raw data it gets from the accelerometer to determine the activity executed by the person and thus neither the internet service nor the location service is necessary for the app. In this app, Google api refreshes every 300 milliseconds to get to know whether the person is foot('walking' or 'running') or not. Thereafter the information is passed on. Then the alarm stops ringing if the person is on foot, else it keeps on ringing.
