Over the years the mobile phones has evolved beyond being a platform for only making and receiving telephones calls but have become a ubiquitous medium supporting various forms of retrieving information, peer-to-peer interactions, and shared collaboration. Many studies also suggest significant future growth in the number of smart device users, the devices' hardware features, and the broadband bandwidth availability. With these trends, we envision a novel information retrieving and information-sharing platform, which views the users with mobile devices and being willing to accept crowdsourcing tasks as sensors. With the idea, in this demonstration, we present TeleEye, a real-time geographic information inquiring system based on the mobile crowdsourcing. The TeleEye system supports novel information inquiring services beyond traditional geospatial information system, namely, a real-time information, such as if a tennis court is occupied now. This paper summarize the design, the architecture, research issues, and the progress towards the TeleEye system design.
