Objective : To insert a few records in the user's
"DateBook" palm application over a TCP/IP connection.
Problem Statement : A user, visiting a web site,
chooses a list of some information ( say list of
some events ) that he wishes to insert them in the
DateBook application of his Palm Pilot device.
In a way, a fucntionality wherein a piece of
information is transfered from the Web-Server to a
Palm Device on the client end over a TCP/IP network /
internet connection is needed.
Requirements : (I) On the server side :
1. HotSync manager ( in running
state )
(II) On the client side :
1. Palm in cradle
Approach thought:
1. A conduit, that transfers the records in the user's
palm, is registered with the HotSycn Manager on the
Server side.
2. A user visits the web-site and asks for the entries
on a given web-page to be entered in his Palm DateBook
application.
3. An application on the server side asks the user to
put his palm in the cradle.
4. The conduit is then executed on the server side
that trnasfers the records on the users palm.
Problems :
1. How can I come to know whether the user has put his
palm in the cradle on the client end ?
2. How can I invoke the syncing on the server side ?
Will it be that when the user presses the
hotsync button of his cradle that the conduit will
start exection on the server side ?
3. In a multi-user settings i.e. when more than one
user tries to request the syncing, how will the
conduit behave ?
4. Also, is the above design acceptable ?
Please suggest / comment.
