Gooday Codegurus, (i have posted the following thread on a different section to allow for a quicker response)
The reason im posting on this sunny morning is that im i have a slight problem...
The thing is ive been assigned a project at uni and im hitting walls when it comes to doing it. Ill explain the project in a bit more detail...
I ve been asked to create a PDA real time video converter. I know its a
bit of a mouthful, but this is basically what it means...
1) I must firstly create a Wifi network that will broadcast picture
files continuously to any device connected to the network.(in this case
it would be a wifi enabled PDA)
2) The bitmap images must have some kind of watermarking process, in
which the server automatically "stamps" the bitmap files to allow the
PDA to know that the file it is downloading is the correct one. Bitmap
files have binary coding where 1 is a value of colour and 0 is white.
Taking this into mind, the server should be able to perform the action
of adjusting the four corners of the bitmap file page to 0 so the PDA
can recognise the file is correct.
3)The PDA must have an application that can verify and choose which
files to download from the streaming broadcast. The verification process
is a check against the watermark mentioned in the previous stage (bitmap
values of four corners).
The problem im having is i dont know how to go about doing this, i heard
that a programming language such as java could be used to setup and
create the server but im really unsure that i could do this in a month.
The server is just a computer that will hold all of the files and is
capable of being the "mother" computer of the network.
I dont know if you guys know or would know anyone who could help me with
this,
I just need some direction on how to go about this, my tutor @ uni wont help me - and i cant complain about him as he's the head of department.
Thanks in advance for any pointers/advice/help ....
