  1. INFOSTATION Chip De Carpe Diem Gursharan Singh Manas Mittal Arvind Batra Kanav Abrol Dr. M.P.S Bhatia (Faculty Mentor) Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology, Univ. of Delhi, INDIA. Empowering The Digitally Challenged

  2. Going Beyond Boundaries The Benefits of the internet is to give Customized information. IT : Ability to provide customized information. Boundaries : • Not able to Read / write ? (Literacy : 54%) • Haves and Have nots : (No Access to Computer) • Language Barrier • Learn a new skill to use a computer

  3. The Motivation DEVELOPING NATIONS (like India) • Digital Divide – PC Penetration = 1.4 % • Are Information Deprived • Are mainly Agrarian economies • Have Inadequate Information Dissemination • Use conventional media in villages- TV/Radio which has very coarse granularity of customization. • Present Projects like kiosks focus on amortizing ownership costs.

  4. Our Solution for -Digitally Challenged INFOSTATION Bridging the Digital Divide Community Level Information Acquisition, Processing and Delivery Solution

  5. Building Blocks

  6. Radio as last mile solution • Cheap($1), Accessible, Ubiquitous, Literacy Agnostic, Requires no dedicated Time. • Till now Content is not customized to fine granularity because of the high cost of content creation. • Computers : We automate Content Creation.

  7. Performance Requirements & Dependence • Autonomous • Quality Of TTS Engine Output • Development of local language ling-ware • Low Power Requirement • Continuous Transmission • FM Transmission Quality • Remotely Updatable • Accurate Information (Forecasts)

  8. System Implementation Deployment Phase Calibration Info eBox Deployment

  9. Implementation Contd… Data Processing Stage <CurrentWeather> <Location>New Delhi / Palam, India (VIDP) 28-34N 077-07E 233M</Location> <Time>Apr 16, 2005 - 03:30 AM EDT / 2005.04.16 0730 UTC</Time> <Wind> from the W (260 degrees) at 8 MPH (7 KT):0</Wind> <Visibility> 1 mile(s):0</Visibility> <SkyConditions> clear</SkyConditions> <Temperature> 100 F (38 C)</Temperature> <DewPoint> 35 F (2 C)</DewPoint> <RelativeHumidity> 10%</RelativeHumidity> <Pressure> 29.88 in. Hg (1012 hPa)</Pressure> <Status>Success</Status> </CurrentWeather Web Service consumed Custom built XML Parser Temperature 35 F Humidity 10% Locally Deployed Expert System • Fertilizer Requiremnents • Water Requirements • Weather and Crop files • ETC. SVOX TTS working FM Tx

  10. The Complete Flow Chart

  11. Testing of the System • Component level: • Web services • agriExpert system • TTS • Complete System: • System made to run independently • met performance requirements

  12. Project Planning • Initialization • Work list compiled • Resources identified • Discrete activities defined among the team • Requirements were set • Deliverables were defined

  13. Gantt

  14. SERVERS • Web Server • FTP Server • e-Box withSmall footprint Platform (Windows CE) • Locally deployed sensors • Text to Speech Engine (native language support) • FM Transmitter • Follow Up – Deploying Agency Deployment Requirements

  15. Some Applications : AGRICULTURE • Intelligent Suggestions • Info about fertilizers • New hybrid varieties of seeds • Harvest time and Weather HEALTH • Camp Based Model • Vaccination/Emergency Medicine Camps OTHER SERVICES • Education, Weather, NEWS etc

  16. Economic Feasability • Cost to User : Ubiquitous FM reciever = Rs. 40 = $1 • Ebox Deployment Cost • Autonomous : Low Running Cost. • Application dependent deployment. • Customized information  Customized Adspace.

  17. Future Incorporations - Next Level ! • Scalable -> Automated Content Generation. Language Independence • New places to deploy it : Like railway announcement system etc. • in Automated Mode. Full Duplex? • Multifarious Applications of TTS as delivery Media

  18. Conclusions 1. Better than anything else. 2. Relevance - Digital Boundary! 3. Substance - Noble cause 4. System's Approach – Blend of H/W & S/W 5. Creativity - The applications fitting the idea 6. Feasibility – Uses presently available services

  19. Faqs from Yesteraday. • Power?? • We use a low power embedded device -> solar ok. • Internet (daknet) • Scheduling -> Infinite Loop? Need user tests.
