Project Background

• Kodak has deployed more than 70,000 picture
  kiosks in many different stores worldwide.
• People who dont frequent these stores are often
  unaware of the existence of the picture kiosks
  located nearby.
• All store location information is hosted in a
  database on Microsoft MapPoint.NET servers.

Project Overview

• The Kodak Kiosk Locator will allow the user of
  the system to locate nearby picture kiosks.
• The user is able to obtain textual or map
  directions to a desired kiosk.
• For a proof of concept, client software running
  on a laptop will use GPS hardware and JSR-179 to
  gather current user location information.
• The client location information is passed to the
  server, and subsequently to MapPoint.NET to
  retrieve the appropriate information.
• The client software will be ported to a mobile
  device by Kodak in the future.

Project Challenges

• Nokia Emulator
• Connecting to the Internet
• Interacting with GPS
• Web browser versus rich client user interface
• Setting up interaction with MapPoint.NET
• Project Schedule
• Determining the correct project process

14
Lessons Learned

• Do not underestimate the learning curve on
  technology you have never used before.
• Explore all of your possibilities before making a
  critical decision for key aspects of the system.
• Get your requirements signed off in the very
  beginning of the project.

Where are we going next?

• Get the current version of the Nokia Emulator to
  display content served from our server
• Detailed design of each component
• Implement the rich client
• Implement server-side interaction with
  MapPoint.NET and the client

16
Demonstration

• Gathering of geo-coordinates by the emulator from
  the GPS hardware
• The interaction between the server and
  MapPoint.NET using a web interface to the server
