Re: Please Help (Urgent)



Salam,

The first 2 requirements in Abul Kashem's proposal, make me think that a java applet is the route to take. Apache and friends require GPRS or a connection of some sort.

However, I have no idea how much of the arabeyes ITL he can make use of with java. http://www.arabeyes.org/project.php?proj=ITL

Just a thought,
Ammar;

I believe this is how you can do your project.
Use, apache, PHP, WML, NOKIA WAP ToolKIT.
change the mime type in apache webserver to send WML Page. Next you need to find how to do the algo. for fasting prayer time.

    *Project Proposal*



    */_"Nearly everybody has a mobile phone!"_/*



    *Introduction*



    My project proposal for the final year project is the
    investigation into and production of a "prayer and fasting time
    Information Application" program, which the user will be able to
    view and set alarms to notify them of payer time as well as time
    for breaking fast. The program will be created for the use on
    mobile phones.



    *Scope*

    * *

    The project is potentially quite a large piece of work, and it is
    difficult to state categorically what will be feasible within the
    limited time period available to me. Rather than define absolutely
    what my "deliverables" are, I propose to produce a prioritised
    list of deliverables, and I will attempt to produce what is
    possible in the time frame of the third year project. I hope to
    treat this project, as merely the first part of a piece of work
    that will, I believe, be genuinely useful for our day to day life
    and in a wide range of situations.



    *The Problem*

    * *

    One of the challenges Muslims face living in the west is the
    inability to hear the "Azan" (calling to pray) from the mosque
    very loud so we know when to pray. This is considered noise
    pollution. Praying five times a day, it is very hard to know when
    exactly to pray as the prayer time varies everyday. In my personal
    opinion being a Muslim myself there is desperate need for this
    innovation and the demand for this is also very high.



    *The testing product*



    My product covers the needs of prayer and fasting timetable. It
    will be designed especially for mobile phones; this is because
    everyone now has a mobile phone also there is demand for this
    innovation. My product will be designed as an application which
    can be uploaded on a mobile phone; this product will function in a
    similar way as a Calender would on Mobile Phones.



    It will be designed so that when the user can select the present
    and a future date to view the prayer times and also activate an
    alarm for desired prayer time or all of the daily five prayers. It
    will also have a function for the month of Ramadan (opening and
    closing fast), which will calculate it for each year as it follows
    the lunar calendar.



    *Distinctive features of the proposed product!*



        * It can be accessed at all time.
        * No internet connection needed.
        * No subscription needed.
        * No need to update every year.
        * Carry it with you at all time!
        * No hassle.
        * Application saved on the phone memory.



    The Deliverables



    In the long term, I would like to produce a comprehensive solution
    to the problem of being aware of the exact time to pray, but in
    the meantime herewith is a list of various deliverables, with
    their priorities. The minimum set of deliverables should
    incorporate priorities 1 to 5, but I hope to achieve everything
    else on the list (and any thing else revealed in the course of the
    project) in due course.

    Deliverables



    Comments

    1



    A comprehensive piece of research on the appropriate technologies
    of java, dot net etc programming and mobile phone software.

    Also research into the calculations of prayer times and lunar
    calendar.



    I expect to produce the majority of this research in time for the
    interim report.

    2



    A study into people's needs and desires for this kind of technology



    I hope to produce a study by interviewing a range of potential
    users in time for the interim report, and will also carry out a
    thorough literature search.

    3



    A prototype phone based application.





    4



    Testing





    5



An actual product



    Initial research into such devices by the interim report, further
    research at a later date.
