Group 4

Restaurants @ LUT

TEAM

  • Ilkka Tommola
  • Tulibako Paiti
  • Doreen Mushi

Idea

  • Extracting information about restaurant menus for restaurants at LUT.
  • Sodexo menus can be extracted by using JSON.
  • Aalef restaurant menus are just HTML and that's why we are mainly focusing on Sodexo restaurants.
  • Providing list of restaurants that are currently open.
  • Showing webcam images for Sodexo restaurant at main building and the restaurant at Student union house

Technologies

  1. C#
  2. Windows phone 8
  3. JSON
  4. Context awareness: at least time (what restaurants are open), possibly preferences (what restaurants are shown on Windows Phone Start page).

Motivation

  • To find out operating hours of the restaurants
  • Need to know available menus and course details conveniently from any location
  • Saving and managing time by seeing current queue status of the restaurants

Main Features

  • Cafeteria Choice
  • Menu Views
  • JSON – Extracted Menu Views
  • Webcam Views
  • Information Pages
