1. 4BP1 Electronic & Computer Engineering Paul Gildea 04489187 4 th Year Interim Project Presentation

2. 2 Presentation Outline Project Overview Technology System development Future Aims

3. 3 Project Overview Unified Communication System based on the Location of communication Devices Integration of RTLS with communications. A user tags the communication devices they use. System to track these devices and their owners. Optimize routing of communications.

4. 4 Technology RFID reader connected to PC. Reader used to detect tags. Tag powered by reader via magnetism.

5. 5 Technology Tag is selected by the reader via this process:

6. 6 System Development MySQL Database. Created sample tables. Uploaded data from text files. Simple example of ID number and a persons name. PHP script to connect to a website.

7. 7 System Development Several C++ programs needed. Parse serial number from reader to text file. Opening UDP ports and sending this data. Uploading received data to a database.

8. 8 System Development Instant messaging Instant messages sent to one of a selection of IM addresses shows the logic of the project well.  Client application A (normal IM client) sends IM to IM address, B.  Client app B receives IM.  Queries database.  Forwards IM to appropriate address C1, C2 or C3.  Result based on information returned from database.

9. 9 System Development XMPP(Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) XML-inspired protocol for near-real-time, extensible IM. Anyone can run their own XMPP server. Client sends message to websites server. Websites server opens connection to clients server. Message sent.

10. 10 System Development Transports – allow a user to access networks using other protocols. Access provided by communicating via gateway services running on remote computer. Alice sends a message through the Jabber net to the ICQ transport. The message is routed to Bobs by the ICQ network.

11. 11 Future Aims A lot of work to do to get a working system. Programs used need more functionality. Update C++ programs. Implementation of an XMPP IM system. Configuring rules for management of the system. PHP scripts. Support for other forms of communication.
