摘要:Even though web-based conferencing applications enable the user to overcome spatial constraints, they require additional presentation facilities such as beam projectors, computers, and video presentation aids. Most of all, Internet connection is an essential element to connect the participants. Such a Web conferencing may be well suited for formal meetings or presentations rather than small-scale group meetings. To improve the promptness and availability, meeting applications for small-scale group meetings should mitigate communication constraints and reduce initial setup time. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a smart meeting Android application called CyberOffice which is based on Wi-Fi Direct. Our application enables a presenter to start meetings quickly anywhere at any time without Internet connection. In addition, there is no need for necessary devices except an Android smartphone to join a meeting. The proposed application indicates that the Wi-Fi Direct APIs of the Android platform can be effectively applied for file sharing and event exchanges.
