MOBILE INFORMATION PROVIDER



The Mobile Information Provider [MIP] is aimed at providing information handy to the user of its Mobile Service. The user could obtain the information regarding the location, which the user wants to get, by a click on his handset.
The total operation is obtained by a combination of the front end a mobile handset with designed user interface in WML (Wireless Mark-Up Language) and at the middle tier JSP deployed on a Web-Server (J2EE) and at the backend a database in SQLServer.
The information that are provided by the Mobile Information Provider are the local information of the area which includes

Hotels
Hospitals
Tourist Spots
Temples
Reservation availability details - Train, Bus, Flight
SMS
Image Streaming

This is a Multi-Tiered application with layers intermediating between the user and the web application server these layers are abstractions of the operation logic. These abstractions are done using components. Java Server Pages (JSP) bridges the whole operation between the user and services.

The database is a RDBMS with high security and authentication. The database connection and its operation have been done using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity).

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
• Reducing the cost of maintaining data
• Minimizing the time involved in handling the data
• To improve accuracy

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project provides good user interaction. The user could obtain the information regarding location, which the user wants to get, by a click on his single handset. The total operation is obtained by a handset. Working on the project was a good experience. Working together in teams helped us to communicate better.
The “Mobile Info Provider” provides an easier way to get information about particular places and sharing the information with all other clients. It can provide image support also.
This comes with an easy to use interface and to select the available options. Developing the project has helped us to gain some experience on real-time development procedures

ADVANTAGES
