Mobile application for interactive digital business card

Project Abstract

<p> The widespread use of printed business card results in a large amount of paper<br>waste produced annually. In this information age, almost every people around the world<br>own at least a digital device. In order to solve the problem, the printed business card should<br>be digitalized. Although there are several digital business card application available in the<br>market, it does not reduce the use of hardcopy business card effectively. This project is<br>intended to develop a mobile application for the interactive digital business card. The<br>interactive feature of this mobile application included the dynamic content of digital<br>business card, geo-based awareness of business card contacts’ company location with the<br>map function, scanning function to scan and save hardcopy business cards and QR code<br>generator for a personal business card for easy exchange. Firebase is a cloud-hosted realtime database used to sync data and perform dynamic content. Next, Google MAP API is<br>used to produce the geo-based awareness of business card contacts’ company location with<br>map function in this project. On the other hand, Google Mobile Vision API which provides<br>optical character recognition (OCR) technology is used to implement the scanning function<br>to scan hardcopy business cards and save the information extracted using text recognition.<br>Lastly, the ZXing API will be used for decoding and generating of barcodes such as QR<br>code for the digital business card. The project is initialized in Mar 2018 and completed in<br>Aug 2018. The time use for the completion of the whole project is less than 6 months. All<br>the objective of the project had been achieved. As a conclusion, the mobile application for<br>the interactive digital business card is introduced to promote the ‘paperless office’. <br></p>
