Hi everyone, so i have,two projects and id like to know how you guys would approach it, or if any of you have done anything similar before.
1.) A platform for displaying ads, preferably .swf and .mp4, the program window should be such that it occupies the screens
area like a task bar (not so much, about four times the task bar), in that reduces the space available for view in other programs, it should basically have an "In your face"
kinda thing going on. The program ads running should be able to edited remotely, that is if the program is installed on a client server with the
internet as the only connection.
My approach:
Use java, for obvious OS reasons, have the program access a MySql program hosted somewhere, for the swf or mp4 clips stored as binary
then have the program store it in a local java DB to be displayed through out the day,(12 hours)and assuming the minimum
length of the ad is 1 min, so th the maximum ads would be 720.
Iv looked at vlcj library to play the mp4 files, but any way this is my approach.
the second project is,
have ads display on a client computer via wi-fi hotspot, i havent looked much into this one, as i am not sure what the lecturer thought of when he came up with this one,
So a client comes into a Hotel, access the open hotspot and immediatley ads start to run on his desktop.(Abit confusing this one) but thats how i got it,
Personally I hate ads,
So whats your approach?
