Behind The Scenes: Engineering Mobile Apps That Require P2P, Real-Time Sharing & Broadcasting On Same Wi-Fi

The last few years have witnessed an explosive growth in the mobile landscape. As hand-held devices and wireless communications continue to evolve, mobile P2P (Peer-to-Peer) applications have emerged as the new kids on the block.

Current P2P mobile apps are widely used across sectors like education and gaming to elevate the existing experience of users. However, designing and building such genre of apps can be like venturing into tricky waters.

Table of Content

A little bit of brief before we dive in

To put simply, mobile P2P applications help teams and groups collaborate by helping them share real-time information to achieve a specific goal. As ScienceDaily, very aptly explains, P2P apps allow people to connect and work together without having to go through a central communications unit first.

Consider this to understand how P2P applications are actually redefining the education domain.

Think of a classroom where everyone is equipped with a tablet having a P2P app. Each tablet is connected with each other over Wi-Fi. The teacher starts the app, selects the subject and opens up a chapter from an e-book. Imagine, all this activity being performed on individual tablets of students too!

Any action that the teacher undertakes is shown to the students in real-time.

Be it white-board collaborations or sending out quizzes, P2P applications have turned out to be the next-generation tools for people who want to collaborate and team up in a more efficient way.

Options for building P2P applications

Building these applications is highly complex. There are a couple of ways using which you can engineer these apps:

The data from sender’s app goes to the server and the receiver’s app has to constantly send requests to server to ensure it receives the updated information. In this approach, the receiver’s app constantly looks up for server update to see any new information is to be received. The problem with this approach is that the device battery continuously gets drained.
Next approach is to make the use of Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). Herein, the app sends data to server which then sends it to GCM, which in turn broadcasts the information to users. Herein, the battery consumption is optimized as the receiver’s app does not have to continuously send requests to server to get updated information. GCM sends in information only when the sender’s app initiates an action or performs a task.

Examining closely, you will notice that there is a server involved here. Pushing data to the server and pulling back the updated data from server delays real-time sharing.

This approach does not work effectively with applications that involve real-time sharing such as in a classroom scenario as explained above. Screens cannot be shared amongst teachers and students if this approach is followed.

When it comes to mobile apps and specifically P2P applications, user experience is something which you cannot compromise on. The real-time sharing of information has to be seamless.

A second’s delay can disrupt communication and ruin the whole experience.

Is there an alternative

Luckily, Qualcomm came with up with a brilliant solution to this challenge – AllJoyn.

An open source framework, AllJoyn, provides an object-oriented approach to make peer-to-peer sharing easy, avoiding the need to ever deal with lower level network protocols and hardware. There is no server involved here.

AllJoyn makes it easier to develop applications that require proximity-based device to device communication on the same network. Its architectural topology is like a virtual bus that connects multiple AllJoyn daemons and links including bus attachments.

The virtual bus connects multiple AllJoyn receivers’ service in the background. Sender uses a process of advertising to broadcast their existence, which then connects to other AllJoyn daemon’s, offloading the work to establish the connection (locally or over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth).

Once the connection is established between sender and one or multiple receivers, receivers are ready to get the signals. They can accept simple and complex data types as arguments and can return. This data will is transferred in fraction and can be processed as required.

The way to go

In nutshell, since no server comes into play while using AllJoyn Framework, P2P apps function seamlessly sharing real-time information in fractions of a second. This helps deliver the ultimate user experience.

So, if you are thinking of developing a multiplayer-game with peer-to-peer, cross platform capability or an app that requires multi-screen sharing, AllJoyn is your answer!

Table of Content

A Closer look at Stroke Numbers

Every year, around 1, 10,000 people suffer from stroke in England, which is said to be the third largest cause of death, after heart disease and cancer.

Around 1 in every 4 people who has a stroke will die and those who survive are often left with long-term problems ensuing from the injury to their brain.

Three quarters of hospitals do not have enough doctors to care for those patients admitted to hospitals at weekends after suffering a stroke, a national report has found.

Lack of round-the-clock care consigning too many stroke patients to lifetime disability, said Jon Barrick, the chief executive of the Stroke Association.

The new audit, which covered more than 74,000 patients in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, found widespread shortages of nurses and doctors.

So, why there has been no improvement in death or re-hospitalization rates of stroke patients?

A neurologist says, if he gets a stroke victim within 3 hours, the effects of stroke can be totally reversed through early medication.

However, the current scenario involves the queued up process for the treatment of patient suffering from stroke attack. Initially, he has to wait for an arriving ambulance, which is then followed by completing the formalities as asked by the hospital management. The patient is then moved to the treatment area upon the completion of former processes.

Such time taking procedures adversely affects in worsening patient’s condition.

Can it be changed?

Well, Yes.

Thermal Touch – The Future of Wearables Unveiled!

Wearables like Google Glass have turned out to be sensational pieces of modern technology that clearly show how our future is going to be like.

The projected market for wearables is expected to be somewhere about $53 billion by 2019. There were 27 million wearables shipped this year and this is going to reach 116 million by 2017.

Tech giants are leaving no stone unturned when it comes to Research & Development relating to how does one utilize devices like smartglasses in a better way.

Though there has been a huge influx of head-mounted displays in the market since last two years, there, however, are certain concerns yet to be solved.

How does one actually get the most of out the functionality offered by these high-tech devices? How do these devices reach their potential?

Therefore, to transform your world into a big touchscreen, Metaio has come up with something very interesting known as Thermal Touch Interface.

Table of Content

The Idea Behind

Mobile augmented reality applications, certainly, are taking user interactions and experience to a whole new level. However, for AR, interactions usually take place by precisely selecting or defining 3D points on real surfaces, says Daniel Kurz, Metaio’s advanced technologies group head.

Through Thermal Touch, Metaio, wants to bring in True Touch Interface for Mobile AR Apps. This is being done by implementing infrared thermography.

When we touch a cold surface of an object, there is a residual heat arising out of our warm fingertip. This approach helps determine whether one has actually touched an object or just hovered a finger over it because hovering would involve less heat transfer as there’s no physical contact.

Now, as the touch gets detected in the thermal image, the equivalent 3D position of that specific object can be determined on the basis of visual object tracking with the help of a visible light camera. Subsequently, that 3D position can be utilized for delivering a natural means to interact with the real-world objects around us.

What is Thermal Touch all about?

The Munich-based Company’s, yet to be patented-technology, Thermal Touch utilizes the power of augmented reality and thermal imaging to make interactions with objects a different ball-game.

This technology involves the use of both standard and thermal cameras for detecting heat signatures that people leave behind when they have touched any object/surface. This paves way for transforming anything around you into an interactive touch-screen.

MIT Technology Review very precisely explains, “The technology combines two kinds of cameras. A thermal camera detects the residual heat from a touch (as opposed to what happens when a finger just approaches an object). Simultaneously, a camera that registers visible light determines the location of the object being touched, so that Metaio’s software can map that touch on the object in three dimensions. Both cameras are combined in a device called the Optris PI 200 that is strapped to a computer or a tablet to test the technology.”

How does it make our world better?

We are already seeing advanced applications of Augmented Reality across sectors ranging from healthcare to retail & ecommerce. Manufacturing as a sector, too, is heavily gearing itself towards using AR to make their workforce more efficient and productive.

Technologies like Thermal Touch can benefit manufacturing companies as many workers have to do certain tasks in a hands-free way. Given the nature of their boisterous work environment, voice-commands become difficult too. Thermal Touch, as a natural input mechanism, can turn out to be a real problem-solver.

People, while shopping in malls, could touch products/items and see reviews in real-time. Thermal Touch would also enable buyers to design 3D objects and experience how those would look like in their living space. Or, you could also draw a virtual remote control on a hand, and press virtual buttons to change channels.

Car manuals can be made more interactive which would help drivers know each car component in detail with just one-touch.

And, the list could go on and on…..

The Road Ahead

Thermal Touch, undoubtedly, offers us a peek inside the future world. However, it could take upto 5 years for this technology to become mainstream because of certain issues that need to be perfected with time. Metaio, currently, is working hard towards resolving latency issues in Thermal Touch. Their present prototype detects touch after it has occurred. The whole experience has to be seamless and flawless. Also, currently it detects only flat surfaces and 3D objects.

Despite these challenges, it is crystal clear, that technologies like Thermal Touch are getting fine-tuned to make our future more interactive and interesting. Companies like Flir have already introduced thermal imaging camera module to be embedded in smartphones.

So, our high-tech future does not seem to be too distant a dream!
