Introduction  Controlling the playback of a playlist on a mobile phone while driving can be dangerous. Voice activation of commands such as “skip, back, replay” can increase driver safety.  In this project developed an Android app – “Autoplay” to support these voice control features.  Autoplay uses a backend server that receives messages from the user and builds a playlist for him.

The server  In the project we implemented a server using Google App Engine Storage.  The server receives the device id, and a requested time duration for the playlist.  The server sends back a playlist that will last long enough for the user’s requested duration.

Logging The app sends to the server information at the end of the use:  Which audios did the user  heard completely?  Which audios did the  user forwarded? Each user is identified uniquely with his device id. This information will help OutBrain adjust each user his own playlist.

Voice Recognition Autoplay supports advanced voice recognition: the voice recognition supports all the features that allowed in the player: Back, forward, pause, play, volume controlling. The voice recognition is easy to use and operated by pressing a big button in the middle of the app.

Comfort Autoplay is comfortable to user and to the programmers:  Uploading new audios to the server is easy using the Google App Engine Storage Interface.  Autoplay is friendly to user, looks good and easy to use.

Workspace  The app is built for Android platform fits to 5.1 lollipop and later versions.  We built the app using Android Studio environment.
