Meeting: 18 Dec 2007 (Group)

    Agenda : System Implementation and Technologies Used

• Technologies Used
  Team members proposed the following technologies used to develop the application:
  
  1. ASP.NET framework: The system will be developed in ASP.NET framework. MS Mobile Internet Toolkit will be use for WAP browsers development. MS Graphical Device Interface(GDI+) will be use for graphics creation. System will be integrated on MS IIS Server.
  
  
  2. Java framework: The system will be developed in JAVA framework. Java Server Page(JSP)/Servlets and J2ME will be used at the client's end to create the normal computer web page and mobile device application. JAVA3D is used for the captcha image. Java Servlet will be implemented at the server's end for writing the image to client, validate inputs from user and forward request to results page.
  



• Captcha design
  Some new captcha design suggestion by team members:
  
  1. Animated 3D text rotation
  Rotating text to prevent the OCR from having the fix scanning algorithm
  
  
  2. Still image illusion words
  The background image will blend in well with the text in order to confuse the OCR. This technique takes advantage of how the human mind thinks.
  
  
  2. 3D Wireframe Captcha represented in a 2D-still image.
  The characters presented in 3-Dimension format. The dimension outline will be shown in 3D wireframe design.
  
  

• Problems highlighted
  WAP is just a simple UI mobile communication technology. Hence it does not support rich text document if we want to implement animated Captcha design.
  


• Solution - Consider to design 2 seperate Captcha design. Animated design will be used for the normal web browser. Still-image design will be used for WAP application.
  


• Database
  - MySQL is confirmed to be used as the data storage management technology. It is the most popular open source database and widely used in the market.
  


• Testing WAP Emulator
  We do some testing with online WAP emulator from http://mtld.mobi/emulator.php
  We found out that WAP only support image with extension .PNG and .JPEG .
