What is this about
This project augments photo frames with simple and intuitive communication capabilities to connect people separated by distance. It is mainly designed to connect elderly people with their loved ones (children and grandchildren).
Why this project:
You grandma knows you're busy most of the time, she thinks about you much more than you do. Sometimes she needs to talk to you but most often doesn't just to not disturb you.
How does it work:
Simple but multi function push button with RGB led.
- Simple click on the photo frame button, and you will receive a "I Love you" message via SMS, twitter direct message, email (as configured)
- Double click on the photo frame button and you will receive a "Call me when you can" message, SMS, twitter direct message, email (as configured)
- Long click on the button and you will receive an "Emergency situation" message. This message can be directed to you, to the doctor, or the health care institution (as configured)
A secured (responsive) web application allows you to configure the different functions of the smart photo frame.
- What to do on click, double click and long click
- Mobile phone number, email and twitter account to communicate with
What will we use
- The web application for configuration and management will be hosted on Microsoft Azure
- The photo frame button actions will be sent to Microsoft Azure Service Bus
- External APIs as required (Nexmo, Beebotte.com, Twitter, ...)
