Gundam Search Team # Hyunjong Lee Jaesoek Jang
Objective There are lots of websites that sell “Gundam” plastic model. To make an application that compares the price of items
Gundam? Kind of Robot looks like… It appears in Japanese Robot animation series “mobile suit Gundam”
We wrapped…
System architecture
Design goal We did not apply client/server architecture to our project because… –Wrapper-based –Long latency problem Just an App that shows result immediately whenever new item is found
What kind of information should we gather? Website name Product name Link of product page Link of thumbnail image Category of product Product code //used in price comparison! Product price Google search result
Utilization of Web Services Google Web service Send product name as query to Google, to get information related to given item that was found in our websites. Google’s result may include: –links of other websites we did not wrap –comments on the given item
Evaluation Pros –search Gundam plastic model easily –choose the cheapest one easily Cons –If the layout of some website changed, malfundction –there are still many parsing exception
