16 A Kinect-based Exergame for Training Body Balance for the Aged CHAN Cheuk Hei Andres Body balance is an essential factor of body health care. People with weak body balance have a high possibility of falling. Hence, it may cause serious damage, especially the elderly. This project is aiming at training elderly body balance by playing computer games. This project developed a Kinect exergame for elderly aged 55 to 70 to train their body balance. The game trains different sections of body, the upper body and lower body. It also provides encouragement for the players to increase their motivation. Moreover, scoring system is included to show the player's strength of balance. The gameplay is referenced by the TV show called The Hole in The Wall. Players need to match the shapes of the cutouts on the walls in order to acquire scores. Scores are given based on the time the player holding the poses. The longer the player holds the poses, the higher the score is given. With the help of interesting gameplay, the motivation of elderly towards exercising is increased. Also, their body balance can be improved in a relaxing way. Supervised by Dr. Andrew Lui Chan Cheuk Hei Andres is studying in the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing at The Open University of Hong Kong. He is interested in developing computer games. His dream is to create a computer game that is not only enjoyable but also able to bring people closer. Please feel free to contact Andres Chan at ccheifany@gmail.com 16

17 An Augmented Reality Museum (ARM) CHAN Ka Fai The aim of this project is to develop an augmented reality mobile application on Android platforms called Augmented Reality Museum to give wonderful and fantastic experiences to users when they visit the Hong Kong Museum of History and to help the museum to solve the attendance problem. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that provides an augmented view of the physical world by adding computer generated sensory such as sound, image, video, or other graphics and visual elements. view according to different exhibits. For example, the augmented reality function identifies an image, it will display the information of the author (or artist), and the production year and other related production. For the other sub-function, it provides a lot of function such as Quiz game. Quiz game which provides a lots of question for users to answer, users can get knowledge in this game, thereby they can know more about the exhibition. Supervised by Mr. Kevin Tse The mobile application includes augmented reality function and other subfunctions.

19 FluteKit: A Mobile Learning Application for Beginners to train Rhythm Skills and learn Flute Fundamentals CHENG Cheuk Hei Chris The project is to develop a mobile e- learning application for flute learners to train their rhythm skills and help them build flute fundamental knowledge so that they can handle new rhythms better and commit fewer errors when playing. There are many music-learning applications that can help users improve sight-reading skills. Our solution is to train users ability to identify the note of a staff. However, this may not help instrument learners as they may not be able to interpret the note identified on the instruments, nor to play the rhythm correctly. Therefore the said mobile application prototype has been developed. The application aims to train flute learners rhythm skills and sight-reading skills through practices. The rhythms that learners have played are recorded and the assessment results, e.g. results of sight reading exercises and results of playing a rhythm, are used to find out the weaknesses of individual learners so that the level of exercises given to the learner is adjusted. Comments and improvement tips are provided to learners according to the weaknesses found. Apart from rhythm skills and sight-reading skills, the application also provides some flute fundamentals e-learning materials. Flute learners can have a comprehensive development after using the application. Supervised by Dr. Vanessa Ng Chris Cheng is studying in the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing programme. He was the recipient of three outstanding student awards and his team won the mini-programming contest at the OUHK in He was the recipient of Self-Financing Post- Secondary Scholarship Scheme for the 2013/14 academic year, and his team won the Third Sumo Robot Programming Contest at the OUHK in His team also get merit award in Software Engineering Group Project Contest at the OUHK in Chris' short-term career goal is to become a software developer in a software house.

20 A Web-based Final Year Project Tracking System for Computing Department at the OUHK CHEUNG Kwai Keung In the Computing programmes at the Open University of Hong Kong, the students must develop a system and write various reports for their final year projects. Many experiences and opinions reflect FYP tracking and supervision are difficulty achieved due to the scarcity of comprehensive project management concepts and practices. It is common that students would not proceed their FYP systemically. They would not plan their projects in many cases, and the project traceability therefore decreases. Moreover, faculties supervise a lot of FYPs at the same time. Current practices use and memorandum, supervisor is prone to confuse a project with another similar projects or stages. The above situations may cause a worst case: delay in FYP! The aim of this project is to develop a webbased project tracking system called SeeingTasks to help the students to keep track of the FYP progress as well as the supervisors to know their progresses and provide helps in order to avoid project delay. This project presents the design and assessment of this system step-by-step. The assessment included interviews of both students and faculties. The interview was a set of specific questions used to record and evaluate the effectiveness and experience of SeeingTasks. SeeingTasks provides two perspectives for students and supervisors. In the student perspective, there are 5 core features namely project planning, file, message, status analysis and report generation. Students can create, track and adjust their projects. In the supervisor perspective, the supervisor can view all or each progress and performance of the student s project, create a supervision event and verify the submitted files. With the help of SeeingTasks, the students are expected to finish their FYP within the deadline and achieve desired target and appreciate the importance of project management concepts. On the other hand, the supervisors are expected to monitor many FYPs progresses efficiently and their workloads are reduced. Supervised by Dr. Kelvin Lee Cheung Kwai Keung is studying in the Bachelor of Computing with Honours in Internet Technology programme at the OUHK. He is interested in web programming because he believes the coming years will see a lot of enterprise workloads moving into the cloud, and he wants to contribute in this area. He likes to open his mind to new ideas and technologies. User interface design is his second interest area. He had various experiences on customization and modification of popular JQuery Plugins to make his own web projects more user-friendly. Keung can be contacted at kkcheung79@gmail.com and

21 GoHiking: An Androidbased Hiking Assistant CHONG Wai Yip More and more people are interested in hiking nowadays. And the smart phones are advanced like computers. So it is good to develop an application to facilitate hikers. When we go hiking, we always meet some common problems such as planning routes, locating all participants, seeking helps and acknowledging performance and state of fitness. To deal with these problems, I make use of different APIs. For example, Google Maps and related APIs are used for route planning, locating participants and collecting users speeds. Google Cloud Messaging is used for seeking helps from other participants and inviting new participants in the surrounding area. When a participant is deviated from the main team, all the participants will be alerted with a warning. When someone is walking on the wrong way, his phone will also give out alerts. When someone is injured or get loss, he can seek help by sending his location to all the users of this application or 992 which is an emergency service hotline receiving SMS. When someone is hiking lonely, he can invite users nearby to hike together and thus make new friends. When someone finished a route, he can check his performance and fitness related information. Therefore, the significance of this project is to reduce the risks of hiking, help people expand their social circles and help people know about their performance and fitness related information. Supervised by Dr. TS Li CHONG Wai Yip is studying in the Bachelor of Computing with Honours program after the graduation from Elegantia College. At the OUHK, he enjoys problem solving and he is interested in Android application development. After graduation this spring, CHONG wants to achieve his career goal of being an Android application developer and pursue a postgraduate study in business to broaden his horizon.

22 Flash to HTML5 Video: Using Proxy to Minimize the Response Time CHUI Tsz Hang Ronny The use of IOS (operating system) and MAC OS has become a trend nowadays. One problem these OS facing is the lack of support of Flash that is still widely used in web page. Instead, these two operating systems support HTML5. The aim of this project is to show how to perform a conversion of Flash to HTML5 through a proxy. The objectives are converting Flash video to HTLM5 video format, changing the content of the web page and reducing the response time. To convert the Flash video to HTML5 video, a software tool called FFmpeg is used. FFmpeg can be executed in the proxy server. To speed up the process, the Flash video should be broken down before the conversion and re-built after the conversion. Then the HTML5 web page is returned to user. A new approach of buffering is to share the progress bar of the HTML5 videos. There are many advantages of the new approach, such as reducing the loading time, moving forward and backward of the video and reducing the data loaded by the user. The final report will describe a convenient and fast way to users so that they can watch converted Flash video on the Apple devices. Supervised by Dr. Kelvin Lee Ronny Tsz-Hang Chui is studying in the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing programme. He graduated at Tsuen Wan Public Ho Chuen Yiu Memorial College in 2009 and Ju Ching Chu Secondary School in Ronny is interested in web development. Ronny's short-term goal is to get the CFA certification and become a financial analyst with his programming knowledge. Ronny can be contacted at ronnychui0529@gmail.com. 22

23 A Mobile Application for Recommending Relevant IT News to Readers CHUNG Pui Yee Technology is changing fast, and the Internet provides most up-to-date news about information technology. People can acquire a large amount of information from it, but it is difficult to grasp the relevant and interested news and the time to digest. Therefore, the aim of this project is to develop a mobile application for people to follow the trendy technological novelties in a more efficient way. The application is running on the Android platform. There provides three methods included (1) classify, (2) recommend and (3) summarize the content of news. (2) The news articles will be recommended to user based on the other similar background user behaviors. It exploited the personal profile like gender, age and reading history. It can enable them to browse relevant news in shorter time. (3) The news content will be reduced the number of words and displayed the small paragraph to point out the main idea of whole content. The user can read the main paragraph to understand the news in a shorter time. Supervised by Dr. Andrew Lui (1) The news articles will be classified into suitable categories according the content. There are four main categories included computer component, product brand, mobile operating system and celebrity.

24 Development of an Online Auction Website FUNG Chun Yin Eric With the globalization and the development of network technology, online shopping or auction websites are also developing quickly. These websites can attract millions of users (both sellers and buyers) to deal. Keep customers loyal is important, so what kinds of function or services should be provided by the online auction websites to meet the needs of the user? The project would contribute to analysis the current existing Customer-to- Customer (C2C) online auction websites to investigate what functions can be enhanced or develop any new functions are needed. We will develop a new C2C online auctions website as an example of this approach. This project began with the investigation of the current existing C2C online auction websites, identifying whether these websites meet the needs of the users. After the investigation, we have found that the following factors are not user-friendly enough to users. It includes search function, ranking system for the participants, limitations of product description and etc. To improve the above functions, we have added more conditions to the functions or record more details in the systems. It also proves more freedom to the users just like allow users embed YouTube videos to the product description page.

25 A Synchronized Peer-topeer Discussion Group that Bypasses Internet Censorship FUNG Kai Him John No one likes private communication being monitored or controlled. Communications relying on specific servers may be censored because of excessive internet censorship policies. Peer-to-peer communication can protect your right of speech from censorship. The aim of project is to develop a secured discussion group application with message synchronization. Internet censorship is based on monitoring message exchange across servers that provide message exchange service and filtering packets. If encrypted message packets do not pass through a server, it is difficult to be cracked or filtered. After encrypting the messages, third party cannot crack the messages in reasonable period of time even the message pass through an unsafe channel. Encryption is done using SSL and certificate that keeps communication private and authenticated. Multiple related clients are connected together by distributed P2P network. Message exchange is handled by a synchronized message flow to avoid missing messages. Supervised by Dr. TS Li To shorten the time of finding friends, a server still remains but it serves as a tracker, pointing out IP addresses of client but no private information will pass through it. Clients and related users will bear the responsibility of data storage on their own. Fung Kai Him, John is currently studying for Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing degree in the Open University of Hong Kong. He graduated from Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Secondary School after finishing Form 7. He is working as a peer tutor for the Computing department, providing academic advices for junior computing students. He is interested in learning from books and solving real-life problem with the aid of computer solutions.

26 RunGlobal: A Socializing Application for Gathering Global Runners Together FUNG Kwong Chiu Michael Marathon is a popular sport globally. Runners sharing the same interest naturally wish to know each other, but there are often not many opportunities before or after runners' events to know new friends and to build trust. The project focuses on developing an application platform for runners to build friendship before, during and after their training. Through this platform, they can share their racing experience and with deeper understanding with runners worldwide. Runners can organize events and encourage others to join. When the runners travel to other cities, they can meet local runners and run together. The application supports Team Running function, which records all team members location and speed in a same map, therefore runners will have a better understanding of the overall performance of the team. They can also create posts on the application, to share interesting topics and news with their friends. Besides, running clubs and organizations are welcome to publicize on the platform. The project investigates the use of similarity search to provide relevant results based on users personal information. The search process starts with general rules and then searches for additional rules. Besides, Google Map APIs is used to implement the exercise function. After using the platform, runners are supposed to build a wide social network. They will make use of the App to record their trainings and make new friends. Supervised by Dr. Oliver Au Michael Fung Kwong Chiu is studying in Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing progrmme. He is outgoing, passionate in social affairs.

During sleep, one s brain and body can take rest and recover, which makes the body and mind refreshed for daily work and study. Apart from sleeping at night, napping also brings a lot of benefits that have been confirmed by many researchers. For example, naps improved vigilance, logical reasoning, alertness, as well as performance on reaction time etc. Many citizens, however, need to give up napping because of the rapid life. In view of this, this project is to assist people to nap. There are several sources that would stop us resting. For instance, noise, temperature, mental tension as well as physical tension. The focus of this project is on relieving stress and emptying people s mind to help people falling into a profound sleep. The project consists of two parts. First part, which is also the major part, is to set up an experiment to test if there is a certain type of music that is helpful for sleeping, as well as to find out if different music will have different effects on different people. The experiment is based on observing the change in human mind wave of the testers when they nap with hearing different types of music. The second part is to develop an Android application to play certain types of music according to the finding of the experiment. This project not only improves human s sleep quality, but also contributes on future development of application of human mind wave.

31 Mobile Application Development of Interactive Classical Guitar Self- Learning Assistant KO Tsz Yiu The aim of this project is to build a classical guitar learning assistance on Android platform to enhance the efficiency of self-learning on classical guitars. The word classical means playing guitar with traditional music score (staff), instead of tablature. Self-learning is popular nowadays. People tend to self-learn baking, musical instrument, sports and many other hobbies, because of flexible time, finance problem or other reasons. However, selflearners face problems of lacking learning direction and unawareness of mistakes. Especially for classical guitar, learning to read staff is more difficult than learning to read tablature that straightly indicates fingering rather than musical pitches. Therefore, this mobile application is intended to solve the problems by the following two components. The first component is a flow of chapters. User can follow the flow so that they will not lose the way. The second component is interactive tool. The application will require user to finish particular tasks using a real guitar and then give feedback on mistakes. Since the application is built to make up for the lack of self-learning, it is hoped that the effectiveness of self-learning on classical guitar could be improved. Supervised by Dr. Vanessa Ng Ko Tsz Yiu is studying in the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computer programming at the Open University of Hong Kong. He is interested in mobile application development, object-oriented software development and game development.

32 A Piano Assistant for Beginner: Easy-to-Learn Piano KWOK Chun Hei Alvin In modern days, many parents hope that their kids would learn at least one specialty, and piano is a popular choice. Music can improve the quality of personal accomplishment and culture. Piano can promote children s use of the right and left half-brains and coordinating left and right hands. Parents normally send their kids to music schools or invite piano teacher to have piano lessons. Most of the people will have lessons in a music school, because not all families have their own pianos at home. However, learners must practice piano often to make progress, so they need a way to do practice piano at home. It is difficult for beginners to have self-learning without any teacher s guidance, they are hard to know what they are playing the piano correctly or not. Most importantly, musical beginners do not have any basic knowledge of music theory, it is difficult for them to learn piano by self-learning. This project presents a mobile learning application for musical beginners to learn fundamental knowledge of music theory and piano. This mobile application provides different materials and exercises, which help beginners to learn basic music theory, let beginners to cope with their weak points. Most of the learners are weak at sight-reading, so this application provides a sight-reading practice to improve their sight-reading skill. This practice provides a music sheet, allows users to follow it to play the keyboard. Also the application will show the correct records and mistakes of the users. Learners also can import their own music sheets by the composer tools for practice After using this mobile application, learners are supposed to be able to read music sheet, play simple music on the keyboard and discern different tones.

33 Best-Price-HK: A Supermarket Bargain Finder KWOK Man Him When we are shopping in a supermarket, we may want to know if the supermarket is offering you the best price and discount. However, there are different supermarket retailers, offering different prices in Hong Kong and we would need to visit every store to compare each price repeatedly. This traditional way of comparing price is time consuming, since we have to travel two or more supermarkets. Sometimes, unfortunately, the product was sold out in a store, that means that we need to visit another store again. In this project, an Android Application is developed to reduce the time cost of locating best price. This application provides different product searching methods such as searching with keyword and type. Users can search with advanced options that are availability in each store and range of best price. With the use of Google Map, users can locate stores nearby supermarkets. The map will show which store(s) have their desired products and those prices are the best. Users can also add their favourite products in shopping list. Then, users can keep tracking those products prices easily. It also let users know which places to buy their favourite products in order to save money. In order to let more users know where the best price is, this application applies a ranking model to arouse user interest to share product price. Users are divided into normal, silver and gold members. They gain a promotion by sharing more products. The higher the rank users are, the more the functions users can do. For instance, gold member can report a problem when the information of product is wrong.

34 TravelAid: A Travel Assistance for Foreign Backpackers in Hong Kong KWONG Yiu Hang Alvin Travelling is one of the common choices for spending a long holiday. It is also a way for relaxing and broadening experience. Backpackers are those youngsters travel without relying on any travel agency. Backpackers may have worse travel experience than following travel agency as they need to deal with the problems encountered when traveling by their own while travel agency helps solving the problems by tour guide or tour escort. This project aims to enhance traveling experience by solving the problem encountered by backpackers with a mobile application. A closed sightseeing spot in a planned schedule due to any reason is not a good experience for travellers. The time planned for it is wasted. Backpackers need to find other sightseeing spots as an alternative. This application helps you discover valuable sightseeing spots nearby to minimize the time to find an alternative and spending your time in a valuable way. Another problem is language barrier. This makes backpackers unable to ask for how to go to destinations when getting lost. This application provides the route from the current location to destination. Augmented Reality is the technique applied in this application. This can help backpackers understand complex information about the locations of destinations. Supervised by Mr. Kevin Tse Kwong Yiu Hang Alvin is a final year student from OUHK majoring in Computing. He is also a peer tutor in OUHK to assist junior students in tutorials.

35 Home Guardian: A Home Monitoring System using Webcams LAI Pui Ho Nowadays, people often use webcams to keep an area under surveillance, but it relies on human power to keep an eye on the video from the webcams. In order to save human power, this project aims to develop an automated system to track abnormal activities using a webcam. The solution called Home Guardian is a realtime system that monitors abnormal activities and makes response to notify user immediately in such case. Home Guardian incorporates various detection components including existing face recognition and motion detection components, and two newly developed components on light detection and object detection. There are two parts in the system. The first one is to track abnormal activities that are defined by combinations of different detection events. The second part is to trigger some reactions when abnormal activities are detected, which include video recording, image capturing and notifications. Home Guardian mainly focuses on security, personal safety, and domestic use. The system can be taken as a security and an insurance system to reduce the impact of the crime and accident, such as theft detection and personal accident detection. The system requires just a computer and a low-cost webcam, which are easy-to-obtain hardware. Also, the system applies imageprocessing algorithms without training data preparation, so it is easy to set up the system. The system can notify the user at real-time, which allow them to follow up their home s situation everywhere.

38 Guitar Dream: A Mobile Application for Beginners to Learn Basic Guitar Skills LAM Wai Ki Music is an important part of human life. People would enjoy their favourite songs or singer, and learning to play a musical instrument is a very good way to enjoy or share the music every time. However a lot of people would not join lessons to learn a musical instrument, because they do not want to spend money or time for the guitar lesson. Mobile learning offers a viable alternative as users can start their learning anytime and anywhere. The aim of this project is to develop a mobile application for the beginners for learning guitar. Users could use the tools of the app and do practice to learn guitar without a real human teacher. The mobile application has two parts: first part is a set of tools and the second part is a set of exercises. The tool functions include the tuner, metronome and the chord table. There are simple functions for the guitar app. The exercise part will include two exercises, one is for the chords recognize and other one is for training the tempo and chord shifting. If the users want to learn guitar effects, they have to do more practice and have someone to give feedback. However, there are not many guitar mobile apps can achieve this part. So the main function of this project is the exercise part, it can improve the effect of self-study. Supervised by Dr. Vanessa Ng I am Lam Wai Ki and studying in Bachelor of Computing with Honours in Internet Technology programme, I am interested in mobile app and game development.

40 An Algorithm for Auto- Grading of Reading Comprehension of Very Short Answers LAU Hiu Wai Ray Nowadays, teachers spend plenty of time marking student answers manually for reading comprehension exercises. To save the time of marking process, several types of auto marking systems have been developed. However, short answer autograding algorithms still have limitations. The main problem is that computer cannot really understand all semantic meaning of the sentences. The project aims to develop an algorithm which high performance can mark "veryshort" answer automatically. The definition of "very short" answer is "range from word to a complete sentence". A prototype has been developed for this algorithm. More than 800 sample answers collected from a local secondary school have been used to evaluate the performance of the algorithm. In the prototype, the answers are separated in eight types: What, When, Where, Why, Who, Which, How, and Request. The marking processes are changed with different answer types. Preliminary tests have revealed that the algorithm achieves a satisfactory level of over 80% of accuracy. Supervised by Dr. Andrew Lui Lau Hiu Wai, Ray is studying in the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing at the Open University of Hong Kong.

41 Socializing Travellers LAU Ka Wo Alex The final report would present an Android application for hikers to meet new friends and to communicate. Hiking is one of the most popular sports among the general public in Hong Kong. It is worth promoting this activity as a culture of regular social activity. Existing travel-related mobile applications encapsulate different types of activities for users to use at the same time, so the in-app functions are too general and lacking focus. The application of this project tries to connect hikers together. Hikers can look for partners before a hiking trip, share their experience after trip, and communicate to others on the application. This project includes three components in order to solve the problem: a system is designed for hikers to look for partners when organizing an event, a platform is designed for hikers to communicate, and a database system to deal with users input data. This result indicates that the users are easier to look for partners before having a hiking trip using the application. It also provides a way for hikers to interact with others. The distance between different hikers becomes shorter.

43 An Application for Sharing Prices of Supermarket Items LAW Chun Ho Richard In daily life consumers are buying items from different supermarkets to pay less. They may compare prices of an item from several supermarkets to know whether the item is good bargain. However, comparing prices is a time consuming process. Consumers need to remember figures from different sources and calculate the total amount when multiple items are involved. Price and promotion of items are changed frequently so knowing where to buy the cheapest items is not an easy job. The project aims to develop an Androidbased price sharing application to improve the effectiveness in comparing prices among several supermarkets. The application will be able to compare the prices within four of supermarkets in Hong Kong: ParknShop, Wellcome, 759Store and Vanguard. Members using this application will be able to share price information. To make effective in calculating total amounts of buying multiple items user can organize a batch item list and it will calculate the total amount handled with item promotion at the nearest supermarket. This project can save consumer effort and time, but also provide the best bargain price. The application will make consumers easier to know where to buy the cheapest items. It will be more effective in comparing prices with multiple items and reduce the time in collecting different price information as source to compare prices in consumer's view.

50 A User-Friendly Online Auction Website LEUNG Sum Shing Michael Online Auction provides a platform for buyers and sellers to undergo transactions in the most convenient way. Buyers can buy at a cheaper price, and sellers can upload their item with paying little money instead of pay the rent each month for a store. There are many auction websites out there, most of them already well developed, and fully functional. Although there are many functions, some of them had put aside the user-friendliness, which makes users do not know how to use them, and start getting confused and finally stop browsing on that auction site. This project develops a web-based auction site, and aims to provide a platform for users to have good experience of auctions. Beside the building a basic auction system, features will be added in order to enhance the user-friendliness of the website, and the idea is that the website functions will automatically run by themselves without users' notice, but eventually users will find the generated result useful. And also, this website will add some alternative functions that hardly found and suggest user to use it and hope that will help user in selling item and placing bid. With the additional features, users will find this auction site more easy to use, and they will have a nice time while participating an auction with all the userfriendly functions. The presentation and the report will introduce the methodology and the design of the website and the background system in detail.

However, many would be exhausted from planning the wedding party. This project presents a mobile application in Android platform called Wedshop to assist soon-to-weds to prepare for the wedding party. Without hiring a wedding planner, soon-to-weds still could carry out preparation with no stress. The main benefit is that they could cut the budget of hiring a wedding coordinator but also reduce the preparing time and workload. The mobile application is divided into two subsystems: individual user module (soonto-weds) and business user module (wedding vendors). For the individual user module, it provides an all-in-one wedding information centre and three planning tools. Individual users would gather various types of vendors information in one way and choose the suitable vendors services. Also, brides and grooms could arrange the wedding checklist, schedule and budget at anytime and anywhere. For the business user module, it includes a promotion platform that business users could create their own promotion page to present their products and services. The connection between two modules is business users advertisements will be published on the individual user module after business users submitted their promotion page. The project is expected soon-to-weds can cut out hiring wedding planner budget but still can deal with wedding vendors directly and conveniently. Wedding vendors can have one more advertising platform to attract more potential customers but also cut the cost of paying commission to wedding planners.

56 A Mind Map Mobile Application with Merging and Collaborative Functions LO Ka Yee Brainstorming ideas and organizing information could be more effective and convenient with a mobile application of mind map. Since a significant usage of mind mapping is brainstorming in groups, a mind-mapping application with collaboration function is desirable. However, there are few mobile applications having the function of collaboration such as merging or sharing mind map, so that a group cannot edit the same mind map in different places and repeated ideas cause the conflicts in mind map. Because of these problems, this project focuses on designing collaborative functions in a mind mapping application. In this project, the aim is focus on merging two mind maps. User can choose two mind maps and the application will generate a merged mind map, so that the information can be shown in one map only. This application can let ideas and points of view, which separated in two mind maps, can be grouped up in one mind map. Thus, it can enhance the quality of communication when a group of people wants to discuss a common topic because of non-repeated mind map. This application also enhances the UI design of mind maps, the nodes and lines can be decorated in different colours and shapes, so that people can read the map easier and help people to have a better conversation.

57 Breaking the World: A Social Media Application for Travellers to Share B- boying Culture LUI Kin Ching Travelling has become a life style of modern human beings. Besides exploring the world by oneself, making new friends is one of their aims during trips. But, it is hard for travellers, especially B-boys and B-girls to make friends with other foreigners before, during and after trips. Due to the observation, this project was initiated to provide a platform for them to join different B-boying (a style of street dance) activities across the globe and build a long-term friendship afterward. An android mobile application has been developed with which travellers are able to search various B-boying activities in specific places and dates. They are able to join and leave comments to the events. Also, they can add friends, chat and have sharing with others in order to build their friendship. A loosely coupled design by application program interface (API) approach is adopted in this software application. The API in Hypertext Pre-processor (PHP) format acts as a backend to connect the android application and database through JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). Using this method, various information can be acquired and insert to the database by users. Furthermore, users are able to chat with different users in this application. Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is adopted to achieve this communication between devices. Supervised by Dr. Oliver Au Ching is studying in the Bachelor of Computing with Honours in Internet Technology programme.

58 Primary Math: An Educational Application for Mobile Learning of Lower Primary Mathematics MAN Kai Tik Nowadays, almost everyone has one or more mobile devices and mobile applications are very popular. Smartphones have become a part of their life, and some have even become smartphone addicts. There are now a lot of mobile applications for different purposes, such as games, social, work or education. This is an ideal platform for children learning because many mobile devices can provide a lot of media, sounds and images, it can attract them to learn, especially most of lower primary students are lively and active, and they hate doing boring homework and practices. They love playing games, toys and watching television, etc. It is because these things are funny and attractive, and the handwork homework, exercises are boring. However, the mobile application can make the education more fun and enjoyable. This project aims to develop a mathematics mobile learning application for lower primary students (P1 P3) to increase the learning motivation, arouse their interest about mathematics and improve their mathematical knowledge. Young children often have less learning motivation. To excite study motivation, this application offers mini games, practices and quiz with colourful images and funny sounds. In addition, this application is easy to operate for the young students. Primary Math has three main parts: mini game, exercise and quiz. The exercises and quizzes include the different level mathematics practices under Hong Kong lower primary mathematics learning areas. The learners can choose the level and the topic that they want to learn and practice. All the questions will generate from the auto-generate question system and the question will not be same every time. And the mini games with basic mathematical knowledge can attract the children using this application self-consciously.

60 Smartphone-based Fall Detection for Elderly NG Ka Wai Benson Fall is a major concern for old people living alone in Hong Kong. Many old people get injuries because of fall. Worse still, there are lots of tragedies showed that the elderly died after fall because nobody was in attendance. The outcome could be improved if the caregivers would receive rapid notifications once elderly has falled at home. This report describes a study into analysis of the patterns about the tri-axial accelerometer signals. The fall features are also used to analyse the signals that are useful to distinguish between fall and fall-like activities such as jumping or sitting. The accelerometer data is collected from a smartphone, and is evaluated with threshold algorithms and machine learning methods respectively. There were two parts in the project. The first part compared the performances between two methods when analysing the samples. The second part integrated the analysis results into smartphone application. The application can detect fall activities in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). An alarm will be raised when a fall activity is suspected. The users need to respond the alarm within 30 seconds. The system alert will send SMS and call the caregivers to ask for help automatically when there is no response. The analysis results indicated that machine learning methods had better performance, including precision, accuracy and sensitivity, than threshold algorithm that is an ideal approach for fall detection. Also, the result is useful to reduce false alarms as machine learning had high ability to distinguish fall and non-fall activities. Supervised by Dr. Andrew Lui Benson Ng is studying in the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing. After graduating in Form 7 in 2012, he took computing as his major subject. Benson's short-term career goal is to become an application developer in the financial informatics area. He is interested in data mining.

61 A Mobile Application for Hong Kong Students Studying Form 4 Chemistry NG Kit Wah We all know that chemistry is a very important subject in science. However, there are inadequate online chemistry resources to help Hong Kong students who have just started to study chemistry, especially for those studying chemistry in Chinese. This project is to develop a mobile application to present some basic chemistry knowledge to Hong Kong students who study chemistry in Chinese, and to allow studying chemistry in a convenient and fun way. These are the aims and objectives of the project. First, the application will introduce some basic knowledge and concepts of chemistry with text and images. Also, the application will include animations and games to show and practice the process of some experiments. After studying and practice, a MC test will be given to test the users what they have learnt. This application includes chemistry knowledge material, experiments, practice and some useful functions to help users when they during learning chemistry. So, users need not to download different apps to help them to study chemistry. This project is using eclipse to develop. This application is developed for those who use android system. After using this mobile application, users would have clearer concepts of basic chemistry that they need to learn base on the Hong Kong syllabus.

62 3CS: C Code Checker for Enhancement of Security NG Wai Tak This project aims to develop a new security code checker for the C language. C is a programming language with history of over 40 years. With pointers and no garbage collection, C is now a language with more security problems than others such as Java. Some C code checkers have already become available and many of them can do their job well. However, still there is room for improvement because there are hidden vulnerabilities remained undetected. This project would develop methods for checking 4 types of vulnerabilities initially, including buffer overflow, integer overflow, unformatted string, and double free of memory. To increase the accuracy and efficiency of checking, and to solve problems of existing checkers, two new features have been developed. They are Variable Orientated Checking (VOC) and Run Time Environment Simulation (RTES). VOC refers to checking vulnerabilities base on variables. RTES means simulating code execution order of run time at static checking environment. During checking, a box will be assigned to each variable to store their codes. Then all program codes will be rearranged into execution order and codes will be delivered into boxes of related variables. After that, the system will scan operations of variables in the corresponding box to find their vulnerabilities. Besides, by using design pattern facade, checking of new vulnerabilities can be added easily. After using this product of overcoming problems of existing checkers, users can discover security problems of their C programs easily. Also, users can modify their code according to tips provided in the checker. Supervised by Ms. Wing Go Ng Wai Tak (Victor) is studying in the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing programme at OUHK. He first contact with programming was Javascript at secondary three. With several years experience in programming, he is interested at algorithm development as well as algorithm performance analysis.

63 Development of Mobile and Web-based System for Museum Management NG Yu Ching Wilson This project is to develop a mobile application for a museum in order to giving visitors a better experience and also managing collection data on the webbased system. Many museums provide rental recorders for tourists while visiting the venue. Visitors would listen to the description of the collection via the recorder during the visit and return it when they leave. The problem is that it is costly to maintain thousands of recorders, sometimes not user-friendly, and the recorders do not help visitors navigating the place. There are four parts of the proposed system. Part one is developing an android-based application to search, list out collections in the museum, display the information and audio on mobile devices. The second part is to develop a QR code system on mobile devices in order to scan and quickly display the information and navigation on map. The third part is a comment system for visitors to share their feeling. The last part is to develop a web-based admin panel using PHP and MySQL to manage data on the web server. The result shows that Android application for the museum is a good idea to combine map and audio recording. Comment section is a new idea to make the visitors interact to each other. Webbased system is useful to manage an amount of data on web server. Supervised by Dr. TS Li Ng Yu Ching Wilson was born in Hong Kong in He was studying for the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing (JUPAS-9707) degree from the Open University of Hong Kong and he will graduate on He interests are in software development and game development.

64 A C Program Code Security Reviewer based on Static and Dynamic Analysis NGAN Kin Cheung Kent Code security is an important concern. It matters because not only vulnerabilities could destroy a computer system but also lead to data and financial loss. However, Code security is difficult to be maintained by programmers as because security holes would not be revealed in common programming tools such as compilers and code editors. Through the analysis of commonly found C program code vulnerabilities and the development of the C Code Security Reviewer in this project, the programmers could be notified of what security vulnerabilities occurred during programming, with an error message composed of code security descriptions, potential danger and its solutions. Eventually, the programmer can create safe program code before it is rolled out to production. Program checking is based on both static and dynamic analysis. The static analysis checks include program slicing techniques and tree-based testing. The dynamic analysis includes run time checking with debugging tool. The purpose of carrying dual-mode analysis can make sure some runtime invoked security problems be detected in which they may not be inspected by static syntax code. Finally, programmers can inspect their code security by user-friendly UI similar to the common code editors they normally use. Supervised by Ms. Wing Go Kent Ngan is now studying in the honour year at the Open University of Hong Kong and would like to further his academic studies with a Master Degree. With working experience on web application design and programming, he is devoted to be an analyst programmer as his future career. His interests in IT include web design and system development. He is also interested in aviation. 64

65 Travel Sketching Friends: A Social Network Based on Travel Sketching PANG Wing Yi Travel sketching is another way to record people s trip in addition to taking photo. People love making friends with the same hobbies and travel together but there is no platform for people who are interest in travel sketching to find other friends and sketch together when traveling aboard. This project was carried out to address this need. This project focuses on users communication before they are going to travel aboard together and hence to make their trip safer and ensure their security also. Through this project, users can also appreciate others artwork, listen to their feedback and improve together through sharing artworks on the website. (1) An online community for users to upload their artworks and allow others to comment on them. (2) A blogging platform for users to share their experience of travel sketching. (3) A searching system for users to search the targeted users. (4) A member rating system to rate users according to their number of shared artworks and the reviews from other members whom they have travelled with. Through the use of this application, users are able to form a community to make travel friends of the same sketching habit and continue using this application when they are not able to travel aboard soon. Supervised by Dr. Oliver Au The followings are the main objectives of my project: Pang Wing Yi is studying in the BSc (Hons) in Computing programme. She likes solving problems.

66 An Android-based Mobile Application for Sam Tung Uk Museum POON Chiu Lam This project aims to develop a museum mobile application based on the Android platform. Many museums still provide guidance system to the visitor nowadays and the system can play the information of the exhibit. However this brings a lot of problems to the museum because those system is costly to develop and hard to change the data. Also the visitor may feel inconvenient to bring that system while travelling. At the moment Sam Tung Uk Museum does not offer any website and guidance system, and there is no technology for enhancing the experience of the visitors. In order to solve this problem, an android application is written for that museum. The management can input the exhibit information via an admin website, then the visitor can use the application to get the data. To solve the problem of visiting a museum properly, some important functions like QR code and message board are added to the application. Each exhibit is allocated with a QR code, the user can use QR code scanner inside the application to scan the code and play corresponding information. Message board can allow visitors to express their feelings about a specific exhibit. This project shows that using mobile application for a museum is convenient to both museum owner and the visitors.

67 A Mobile Learning Application for Preschool Children TANG Chun Yiu This project was initiated due to a survey that found out parents are most concerned about children's academic performance. More than 95% of parents feel extremely high pressure on nurturing children. Parents spend large amounts of money on their children to join playgroups, tutorial classes after school, causing children learning under pressure. To help parents training children literate skill, increase children interest of learning, a personalized, supplementary learning application is developed. For personalization, children can earn some candies in the games or exercise, buy some virtual goods like (toys, shoes) to dress up their user icons. Parents can import the vocabulary, flashcard data that children had learnt in kindergarten for revision. Let them catch up the learning progress, catering for learner diversity. Children can listen to correct pronunciations, follow the pronunciation to speak the vocabulary, and the application will check whether the pronunciation is correct or not. Parents can monitor their children learning progress and plan a learning schedule. The application provides a learning analysis. Analysis results include accuracy of the children exercises on that vocabulary, the total number of vocabulary children had learned. Parents can provide suitable assistance to their children based on the analysis results. The application includes many graphics and games to attract children. Children can learn vocabulary from small games, and increase their zest for learning.

80 Eye Sees I See: An Eye Tracking System YIP Hoi Yan It is an everyday observation that more and more children wearing glasses because of short-sightedness/myopia. The reasons are believed to be working hard with their eyes or frequently use of electronics gadgets. Unfortunately, children themselves and their parents are not interested in finding the exact causes, not to mention taking regular eye tests to monitor the trend. It is simply because traditional and online visual acuity tests are not effective and convenient enough. This project aims to develop a mobile application for easy visual acuity checking and further analysis with the results. The application includes visual acuity testing, activities recording, and analysis over visual acuity changes and the activities done. The test provided is different from the traditional ones, which has more approaches to provide better user experiences. The testing distance is now more flexible and has a tool to check for it. The activities recorded will be used for further analysis to find out the relation of activities over visual acuity changes. With the help of the mobile application, children and their parents could have the eye test in a more easy and convenience way. Hence, their understanding of the eyes status could be improved.

81 An Android Application for Real-Time Rain Prediction and Weather Information YIU Wai Keung Ray Weather has tremendous effects on people s daily lives. Sometimes an accurate weather prediction could mean the difference between life and death. However, it is rarely to have a system of providing accurate rain prediction and even real-time updates. Therefore, iweather is developed to predict the arrival and departure time of rain accurately for users making decisions about their daily activities. Radar images from the Hong Kong Observatory are downloaded every 12 minutes and processed further. An algorithm is designed to predict the rain flow by analysing the motion of rain regions between consecutive images and finally it matches the corresponding rain regions by comparing the least Euclidean distances in order to calculate the rain flow direction and speed. A warming of incoming rainfall to user is prompted. To test the accuracy of the rain prediction, the prototype system is evaluated and surveyed. The results show that the algorithm has more than 70% accuracy of rain prediction. To conclude, the system would raise the standard of living and enhance the efficiency of daily works and decisions.

86 Analysing Stock Quotes Using Data Mining Techniques Abstract TO Chi Hang, TAI Ho Lun, TANG Yuen Ching One famous approach to stock trend prediction is technical analysis. Technical analysts believe that the stock prices (open, high, low, close, volume) carry significant information on price prediction. With such a large volume of available stock quote data online such as Yahoo! Finance, we can use data mining techniques, including classification and clustering, to dig out useful information (e.g., frequent patterns) from stock price history. This project aims to develop stock price prediction models based on the information we can dig out. We have designed varies experiments to develop the price prediction model. By using data mining algorithm, we can find out some hidden pattern in the big data. We believe that big data will be the trend of future, and the skills we learned in this project will be an advantage for our members. Supervisor: Dr. W.S.

87 A Book Finding App for the Library Abstract LAU On Ki, LEE Sung Hei, CHEONG Chi Yin Shortest path is a classical and widely used model in computer science. Given a starting point S and an end point V, our goal is to find a path from S to V of shortest length. We study the extended version of shortest path problem, where the path is required to pass several given points. We call this problem multi-destination path-finding problem. Multi-destination path finding problem can model many applications that target on locating multiple items or products in stores or shelves and generating a short path for users. By experiments on different path calculating methods such as Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) and Brute Force (Optimum length and exponential time), we design our own path generating method - Humanity design. We have developed an application for books finding in a college library. We model the book finding in library as a multi-destination path-finding problem, and build an app that can find the locations of books and show a suggested path on the floor plan. The app will let users create a wish list of books, and then it will calculate the shelves locations and generate a path. Supervisor: Dr. Y.C.

90 A Smart Personal Photo Organizing and Sharing Application Abstract WONG Kwok Hung, SHUM Ming Tsun, YIP Tsz Fung Nowadays, people use the smart-phones to take photos of different people, scenery or capture some useful photos of documents, notes, works, etc. Most people use the gallery to store and organize their photos because it is done by the smart phones automatically by default, some of them will use other applications which provides more sophisticated and professional features to manage their photos, for instance, Adobe Revel and Million Moments. However, we found that the interface and functions of those applications are very similar and trivial. Furthermore, the photos shared from the social networks like Facebook and Whatsapp are found to be another main source of photos stored in phones yet most of them are redundant. This led to the rapid expansion in number of photos and causing a lot of problems on searching, photo redundancy and the waste of capacity. Therefore, we are going to design and implement a new application to deal with the above problems. In this project, we are going to develop smart personal photo organizing application, so as to solve the problem on searching photos; help users to handle the duplicated photos; improve the interface and develop some special functions. We expect that the system can reduce the time spent on finding photos, users can manage the photos in a neat and tidy way which reduce user frustration and enhance user experience. Supervisor: Dr. Raymond Pang Yip Tsz Fung, Kenneth: I am very glad to do the Final Year Project on a photo organizing Android application. Although I have met many difficulties during the process, I have done much researches and testing before starting the project. Fortunately, my group members and I still finish the FYP at the end of seminar. Besides, I hope to develop my career in this field and to polish my knowledge in new environment after graduation.

Everyone could achieve lots of work with his mobile devices, in research and statistical analysis, for example. We have invented an app to serve as a purpose of a questionnaire, making it easier for your company to obtain customers information and get feedbacks. Customer s feedback allows you to have better understanding of customers needs. Even in the internal training you can use this app to receive staff members information and feedback. In addition, after the customers finish the questionnaire, the result will insert into the database automatically, it can reduce time and human resource. Quick Response Code (QR code) is applied to generate a barcode. Customers could scan the barcode through our app to gain access to a website for survey when they are waiting for some your companies service. Moreover, we created a website for the manager to manage the survey. For example, create survey, view the surveys result, generate QR code of the survey, and print out the result with PDF format.

92 A Mobile Learning App for Property Management Abstract LAM Chun Kit, CHAN Yuen Kwan, LEUNG Chor Yi In this project, we propose a lightweight e-learning system for mobile learners who wish to save their bandwidth. In the meantime we provide a more user-friendly and comprehensive administration tool for teachers to prepare and deliver course materials (in form of presentation slides) more efficiently and easily. The teachers can create their presentation slides through the back-end user interface by a few clicks, or upload existing MS Power Point slides onto the system. The Power Point slides will be converted into a lightweight format (e.g. compressed image files) that saves the bandwidth of the mobile device of the user. In addition, teachers may record their audio narrations in order to give a clearer explanation to the contents. Furthermore, the teacher can monitor the students learning progress and their performances through the system generated analysis reports. User studies have been conducted to verify whether the app interface is user-friendly for the learners. We have collaborated with Hong Yip (a property management company) and deliver online courses to the front-line workers on trial basis. Supervisor: Dr. Jeff Tang Leung Chor Yi is a student of the Bachelor of Science with Honours in Web Technologies programme. She has joined some competitions before and received some awards.

93 An Advanced Stock Querying System Abstract LUNG Ngai Him, CHUI Shing Hin, LAU Sing Wai Nowadays, finance industry is very important globally and locally. Hong Kong is one of the world's leading financial centers. Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEx) is Asia's second largest stock exchange in terms of market capitalization. The performance of stock exchange will affect the economy of Hong Kong directly in different areas. Stock traders want to make accurate decisions. They analyze stock information and many believe that technical analysis would help. Information can be analyzed through quotes. Technical analysis such as Exponential Moving Average (EMA), Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Relative Strength Index (RSI). These stock criteria can help investors predicting the price trend. Therefore, we build a query system to satisfy the needs of different traders. The aim of this project is to develop a stock querying system which can help investors asking various types of questions on stock price information by queries. Using the historical price data of the stocks, the system allows users to specify criteria for the match, and displays the results to the users graphically. Through the system interface, users can specify different types of criteria. As the results may contain a lot of stocks, the system interface should allow users to navigate the results easily. Supervisor: Dr. W.S. Ho Lung Ngai Him expects to graduate in Bachelor of Science with Honours in Web Technologies in His interest is computer programming, especially in web, game and graphics. He is a graduate from the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education and La Salle College. In retrospect his passion towards computer programming initiated when he was still a primary school student and was fascinated by Pokémon. Meanwhile he aspire in the future he can develop such kind of game. Chui Shing Hin expects to graduate with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Web Technologies degree. In the programme, he has acquired knowledge in computer programming, software engineering and system administration. He believes such knowledge could help his career in the future. Besides studying, I enjoy making friends with people of different walks of life. Therefore he likes to join different activities organized by some OUHK student societies. Lau Sing Wai Sam is going to graduate in the Bachelor's degree of Science with Honours in Web Technologies. Before he began this programme, he completed Higher Diploma in Computing Studies at the Caritas Institute of Higher Education in September He has spent much time to learn to improve my programming skills, and reading books about computer, society, novel, comic and the machine repair skill.

94 A Web based Duty Management System for a Health Centre Abstract TSE Pan Tung, CHUNG Chi Kwan Mobile Integrative Health Center is an initiative of the Centre for Smart Health to advocate the outreach health care model via mobile clinic to deliver primary and preventive care services to needy senior citizens of the local community. There is an average of 5000 to 6000 patients per month but there are only 4 full-time nurses. The high volume of patients has made the nurse always very busy. In order to solve the problem of the lack of nursing staff, the Health Center will employ student helpers to take up some of the work. Helpers would receive an invitation at the beginning of the month, and they would reply if interested. Then the advanced practice nurse (APNs) would select the student helpers for each working day as tentative roster by using Google drive. At the end of the month, staff would send the finalized roster only to selected student helpers and inform them to be on duty according to the roster and upload it onto Google drive. However, this system is inconvenient to student helpers and APNs. APNs need to mark the student helper's arrive time and leave time manually. Without database support, they can only use Google drive to share the roaster and need count the salary by using the data collected by APNs. The whole process is very inefficient. Therefore an automated Health Center Management System is required which aims to streamline the operation. The aim of this project is to develop an automated Health Center Management System. This system helps APNs to quickly retrieve information, reduce daily work and let them focus on helping patients. Supervisor: Dr. Raymond Pang Tse Pan Tung is studying for Bachelor of Science in Web Technologies. He is interested in RFID technology. Chung Chi Kwan is a student of the Bachelor of Science in Web Technologies, He is interested game development and programming. 94
