Location based Streaming Topics for our 1 st presentation  Thesis Description  Positioning System  Streaming over positioning  Questions Session

Thesis Description  In our thesis we are going to implement an application that deals with sending of a multimedia stream to clients with specific locations by using the positioning system.  Our application should be able to get the position of a wireless device from the Positioning System then send a request to a server that has a multimedia contents and then retrieve a multimedia streaming according to that position as response.

Thesis Description  As a multimedia stream we will start with audio streaming, and for time enabling we will include video.  We are going to retrieve different multimedia stream for each different position.  The client-side will be platform including both Laptop and PDA that implement some interfaces as a browser embedded HTML pages or GUI/Swing or may be Flash.

Positioning System Hardware specifications: Eliminating all dependencies of using and configuring the server side via Ekahau manager,is the best way to establish a platform for developing client application,by:  Install and host the Ekahau positioning engine on a dedicated server.  Ekahau manager should be installed on a separated laptop and be controlled one administrator of the system.

Positioning System  Software specifications: Ekahau Positioning engine offers a java API used to create Location-based applications. There are two ways which makes it possible: 1. Via Ekahau Java SDK 2. Via LaCoMoCO WEB API

Positioning System Ekahau SDK  Provides their own Java API & SDK, to retrieve positioning data from connected clients in the network.  The SDK is compatible with Java 2 SDK.  Clients must be able to access the server via the TCP/IP sockets.  Ekahau is not compatible with the Pocket PC. LaCoMoCo WEB API  Platform- independent API on top of the Ekahau SDK.  The WEB API can be access via HTTP requests from any type of platform or client application.  Should be considered an extra service for those who concentrate on the client side development.  Provides with an administrator interface.

Questions Session 1. Do we need to save our multimedia contents in a database? 2. The types and extensions of the audio files will be used? 3. Resources for how to send a multimedia contents over an Http connection. 4. When we will have access to the exist system? 5. What is the work plan?
