Design Elements

Use Case View GPS information Implements Bluetooth Hardware Interface Major Focus of SD2

View GPS Information Prototype from SD2 had MAC address hard-coded into application. Deliverables Met: More interaction with the Bluetooth GPS connection. Starting and Stopping data stream choosing GPS device from list of found Bluetooth Devices The Device stores bonded devices internally in OS.

View GPS Information Bluetooth connection A data stream is accessed using .NetCF Socket Created a data handler class to Parse usable information from GPS data stream

Bluetooth GPS connection Prototype SD2 Basic GPS info Updated by 6 individual Events NMEA Data Handler class was run using “Threading”

Bluetooth GPS connection Deliverables Met: Improved GPS GUI Graphical Bearing Info Timer control sends data stream Minimized Events to 3

View GPS Information Knowledge Gained .NetCF is extremely lightweight on Smartphone Devices Threading is not a good option Improvements exist in Windows Mobile 5 and .NetCF v2.0 Graphics are not easily manipulated

Use Case Map View Establish Web Service Authentication Create SOAP instances Learn MapPoint Parameters

Use Case Map View Web Service Authentication Data is stored into “MapSpec” parameters MapPoint’s MapRender Web Service

Map View Prototype SD2 Limited to LCD display size Streets only

Map View Deliverables Met: Added Map Functionality Map Pushpin Markers Pan/Zoom Effect Custom Pushpin Icons

Map View Knowledge Gained How to connect to a Web Service MapPoint has extensive features But…too slow for CFDI user experience Keypress events of Smartphone

Use Case Add Map Pushpin User will input specific location data Address is passed to Web Service Coordinates are added to “MapSpecs”

Add Map Pushpin Prototype SD2 Tested separately Proof of Concept

Add Map Pushpin Deliverables Met: Manually add locations for mapping.

Add Map Pushpin Knowledge Gained More capabilities of MapPoint FindService for Lat/Long Coordinates Flagging Pushpins Pocket Outlook Object Model Access contacts directly More about .NetCF forms and lacking controls

Conclusion Project Focus Design Elements Demonstration of Functionality Project Progressed Smoothly
