Motorola's Innovator's Challenge

Started with another challenge, namely Motorola's Innovation Challenge. My other team members are "Saurabh Vats" and "Shekhar Kumar". Thought to write a blog about it, as then experts could comment on how to improve our idea.

"We propose an effective information system which works in a bidirectional way for the doctor and the patient to provide information to both parties and hence maintain a synchronization for much more effective method of Vaccination. The system is capable of taking the input information of child birth other related things then it can process the data to generate a schedule for child vaccination. It can also keep track of the doctors devoted to the area and can send them related information, hence a doctor is automatically informed for when, where and how many children need which kind of vaccination."

Now, dealing with technical side. There will be a representative from a group of villages who will give the information about newborns via SMS, Call or postcard. The difficult one to implement is communication via SMS, where the data will be updated in the database directly through a Single SMS.

We plan to do it using a Server (Running Debian), use KMobileTools which will actually work when a new SMS arrives on the phone connected to the server through Cable. The new SMS will trigger the script which will update the database.

Now this database can be accessed by any doctor through Websites or through notifications on mobile phone through SMS.

I am definitely convinced that our team can make this challenge come true.

TechTatva08, GRE, TOEFL, Being Category Head, B-Plan and so much more

So TechTatva08 is over and I was Category Head of PARAM, which organizes all the Computer science event and I am glad that we changed the definition of all the events and even introduced a Mega event named MobiVision, where students were required to make mobile based applications. It was this event which witnessed that even a First year student of engineering can innovate in a manner that many seniors kept wondering "How can freshies develop applications, that too working on Mobile phones!!"

The category head tag holds many responsibilities, its not about power that lies in your hand but its more about how can you resourcefully direct that power to make a constructive result. I am really one lucky chap who got first hand experience of many things which I always dreamed about, and this was one of the thing which I thought I could execute better than my seniors and to some extent I was successful because of a Wonderful team which consisted of every regular member of LUG Manipal and also bunch of First year volunteers who had the zeal to work for hours.

GRE TOEFL are already over, and I am about to start applying to different universities. MS in wireless communication is what I dream about now, wireless is a passion that I am trying to follow. Lets see if I get admitted this year.

Business Plan preparation going on for Eureka,IIT Bombay.

Many events going around me, college about to end, don't know when will see these friends again, what will happen next?

But change is name of the game, I hope best for everyone may these guys get the best in their life.

Being S60 Ambassador

First Report given at S60, it goes like this

I was doing my project in Project Lab of our college today.

I am developing my project with help of Python for Series 60. So my friends asked me about Series 60, as most of them were aware about Symbian Operating System but Series 60 was something new for them.

I had to make them clear that S60 supports application development in Java MIDP, C++, Python also that it is most common user interface on Symbian phones.

They further asked me about which phones actually support S60, Nokia being one of the most popular Mobile Manufacturer here i gave example of Nokia phones having S60 support.

Reaction was amazing, they promised to look out for more facts on S60.

Param, MobiVision and Category Head

TechTatva is the name of Technical Fest of Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal, India.

TechTatva 08 will showcase many events ranging from Robotics (manual, autonomous and Image processing ones), Circuitry Events to Paper Presentation events.

But the one that will be totally redefined will be PARAM ( Events under Computer Science Category)

The Events falling under this category are,

1) MobiVision 1.0, the version itself conveys the message. This event mainly focuses on those guys who are innovative at their work, can think of new ideas and implement them to make life easier.

Mobile being my first choice was chosen, as I feel there is lot to explore in this field.

This event will be first of its kind. Lets hope that Neil Armstrong saying "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind" holds true for this event.

2) CodeBytes , the event focuses on those guys who love to be called "Experts", "Bond", "Godly" when it comes to programming or so called HARDCORE PROGRAMMERS.

3) Jour, its means "day" in french. This event changes the NiteOut Event format, the Software Developers will love this event as they will be pushed to limits to make software which will be beneficial for some real life situation.

4) Puzzle_Mania, You adore Puzzles, hungry for them, live with them, then this is the event for you where you would find new Puzzles online everyday during TechTatva 08 ( 8-11 October, 2008)

See you participating in any of these events, cya for now from PARAM Category Head, Shubhendra "seer" Singh

P.S.-> Please comment on the Poster made for PARAM.
