Brief Summary:

This project is based on two applications.

Application1 will be a Windows Application installed on the computer and should communicate with an external mobile phone connected to the computer thru a serial port or Bluetooth.

There will only be one active connection at time but you should be able to see a list of all available devices and connect/disconnect.

Application2 will be an ActiveX component installed in the browser. This application will communicate with Application1 and will only have a few functions.

DialNumber(number) this will start a connection to the phone and dial the number on the phone and when the phone call ends this will trigger onComplete and you should be able to get the length of the call.

SendSMS(number, text) this will trig the phone to send a sms with the text and number passed into the function.

getBatteryLevel() simply returns the battery level in percent.

DialNumber(number){
      onComlete:
           .length
      onFail:
          .errorCode
}

SendSMS(number,text) {
   onComplete:
       .status
}

getBatteryLevel() {
    .level
}

 

The two applications must be written in c# and should be well documented.

Application1 must be supported in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7.

Application2 must be supported in Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome.

All major mobile phone manufactures and models must be supported.


Requirements Interview Answers:
To help you bid more accurately, the employer was interviewed about the requirements for this project. Below are their answers. Untitled Page
Project Type: What kind of work do you need done?
Software related (Includes desktop applications and internet websites)
Project Parts: What do you want the worker to do on this project?
Requirements: The worker will analyze the problem and propose a software-based solution to the problem.
Programming: The worker will take the requirements and translate them into the language of the computer (and test it).
User installation: The installer will move the software from the place it was created (which is called the development or QC environment) to where you will use it (which is called the production environment). The installer then tests the software to make sure that the installation was done properly and completely.
Req. Doc. Type: What kind of documentation do you want for this project?
Formal documentation - After talking back and forth, the worker creates a formal document and/or prototype, as follows:
  • Requirements Document: The analyst will create a document describing everything the final software will do (other than what is documented in the prototype...if the employer required one).
Program Type: What kind of software should the worker create (and/or install)?
  • A desktop or server program: This software runs on a user's own PC/workstation, or on a server.
  • Other:ActiveX component
Desktop / server program info
Size of application: How many screens/forms need to be created/edited in this application?
Approximately 3.
Programming Language: What programming language(s) do you want your application written in?
I do know the language(s).
Languages(s):
  • C#
Operating system(s) What operating systems(s) do you want your application to work on?
I do know the operating system(s):
  • Microsoft Windows -- version(s): Vista, Windows 7
  • Internet browser -- version(s): IE,FF
  • Database: Will this project include a database?
    No, it does not include a database.
    Installation Program: Does the worker need to create an installation program?
    No. The worker needs to only give me instructions on how to install it.
    Legal: 1) I require complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done (so that I may modify it in the future).
    2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):
    2a) If there are any server-side deliverables (intended to only exist in one place in the Buyer's environment) then they must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
    2b) All other software (including but not limited to any desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute) must include a software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request (unless specified elsewhere by the Buyer).
    3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased.
    3b) No part of the deliverable may contain any copyright restricted 3rd party components (including GPL, GNU, Copyleft, etc.) unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the seller's Seller Legal Agreement.
    Other Requirements:
    • All deliverables must be uploaded to vWorker.com before the deadline(s) for this project...with no exceptions. If this contract makes it impossible for a competent person to do this, then do not start this project...but instead alert vWorker.com of an un-arbitratable, illegal project.
    • Remember that contacting the other party outside of the site (by email, phone, etc.) on all business projects < $500 (before the employer's money is escrowed) is a violation of both the employer and worker agreements. vWorker.com monitors all site activity for such violations and can instantly expel transgressors on the spot, so we thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you notice a violation please help out the site and report it. Thanks for your help.
    Categories:
    (Note: Like everything else on this page, these categories are part of the original contract for this project.)
    Microsoft Windows, Languages, Requirements, Operating systems / platforms, Internet browser, C#, Other (Technology), Javascript, Software related (includes websites)


    Expert Guarantee Required:

         It is crucial to the employer that this entire project be completed (100%) by the deadline of days. They only want expert workers who will commit themselves to this deadline to bid. If you are not an expert or unable to commit completely to the deadline, then DO NOT BID on this project.

         If you are an expert and can commit, the employer would like you to demonstrate this by making an
    Expert Guarantee of at least 10% of your bid. (This would not need to be made now...but only if and when you are are selected as the winning bidder). If you complete the job (100% by the deadline), then your deposit would be refunded to you. If you do not, then you would forfeit the deposit and it would go to cover the employer's cancellation charge and the remainder donated to a non-profit charity.

         Please note that depending on how you choose to make the deposit, there may be a small, non-refundable processing fee. This fee can be reduced or eliminated by choosing a less expensive method of payment. Or, you may wish to ask the employer to cover the cost of the fee for you. You can do this in a number of ways such as: increasing the price of your bid, asking the employer to post a 2nd project to cover it (contingent on completion of the project), or by getting the employer to promise to pay the fee to you as a bonus (upon completion of the project). If you choose the bonus route, just remember that due to credit card/PayPal rules, vWorker.com CANNOT force an employer to pay a bonus involuntarily...even when promised on-site. So don't choose this option, unless you trust the employer, or are willing to take a small risk.

         This is just a very brief overview of how the Expert Guarantee works and there are many more details that you need to understand fully before you bid on this project. DO NOT BID on this project until you've read and fully understand everything about the Expert Guarantee (including reading the contract and the FAQs).
