Scope

This application is originally developed for the optiPoint IP phones to display the gauge of different purposes using the APM/DSM unit. At the moment for demo purposes the application requires user input for different environmental factors. However in future, modification of IP phone software can be considered to obtain the value of environmental factors from hardware sensors conected to IP phone using an USB interface. Also data from sensors could be relayed to a central server which could control a buildings climate control system.

Operation

Operational Overview:

• Environmental Monitor application on the phone interacts with the server using XML.
• The server provides XML to the phone which the application renders into a screen for the user to interact with.
• The user’s interaction with the phone results in key-value pairs being passed back to the server for processing.

Key Features
