LYU0101 Bluetooth Access Point with Security and
Quality of Service (QoS)
Objective To design and implement data access
points and client applications for secure and QoS
information exchange based on bluetooth techology.

LYU0101 Bluetooth Access Point
Background In our daily life, some data is
unavailable or not useful until we reach certain
geographical location or personal interaction
circumstance. For example, you cant get the
staff contact information or price quotation
before you come to the sales desk. You will need
a map when you come to an unfamiliar area. Data
access point is a hardware station that can
establish communication with a users digital
device when they come to close distance. The
bluetooth technology fits this deployment.
Applications including e-commerce, kiosk

LYU0101 Bluetooth Access Point

• Study and compare bluetooth architectures and
  development kits
• Create an application for data sending and
  receiving
• Perform connectivity and placement test for
  servers and clients
• Define specific functionalities and marketable
  system features
• Security issues access control and encryption
• Performance issues Quality of service, bandwidth
  management, and congestion avoidance.

LYU0102 PDA Games on Bluetooth
Background Current two-player pocket games are
based on wired connection. The existing PDA
connection required line of sight and therefore
not suitable for playing games.

• Challenges
• Explore the feasibility of building multi-player
  games.
• Design a scheme for action game data streaming.

14
LYU0102 PDA Games on Bluetooth

• Project Tasks
• Study and get familiar with the wireless
  development tools
• Create a simple application for sending and
  receiving data in the wireless networks
• Make a simple game (e.g., tic-tac-toe) for two
  players
• Design an interactive auction game
• Perform advanced topics e.g., a generic game
  data streaming control system for multiple players

15
LYU0103 XML and Digital Video Library

• Develop an automated system which can enable
  multimedia information capture, search,
  retrieval, summarization and reuse, based on XML
  techniques.
• Robust indexing and retrieval of audio and video
  documents from heterogeneous databases
• On-demand searching and presentation of
  multimedia documents to various client devices
• Video segmentation and summarization.

16
Video Processing Procedure

• Building Video Databases
• collect videos (all are news), prepare
  corresponding text scripts, short
  descriptions....
• convert analog videos to digital compressed
  format, e.g. mpeg1
• Breaking the Video into Segments
• break the videos into smaller pieces
• each piece talks about one topic of news
• Indexing the Video Contents
• index the videos manually, e.g. prepare the title
  of a news
• Retrieving Video
• user can make request by inputting such as
  keyword, and then the system will returns the
  required videos

LYU0104 Interactive Geographical Map Over
Internet
Background A digital map is actually a large
database with special data structures (vectors to
describe the border lines and hierarchical
structure of geographical relations). A
state-of-the-art implementation is the MapObjects
ActiveX component for desktop applications.
Objective To design and implement two kinds of
geographical map over internet 1. Thick client
implementation approach As a browser plug-in
application with the map data pre-stored at the
client side. 2. Thin client implementation
approach interactive map browsing scheme that
can optimize the delivery performance for clients
without prior map data.
18
LYU0104 Interactive Geographical Map Over
Internet

• Development Tasks
• Develop and load digital maps (e.g., Hong Kong)
• Implement thick and thin client architectures
• Perform indexing and searching capabilities based
  on map components
• As an advanced feature, connect the client device
  with a global or local positioning system for
  location pointing and navigation
