  1. MOVIE TERMINAL APPLICATION Michael Disney EKU, Dept. of Technology, CEN/CET

  2. OUTLINE • Motivation • Introduction • Problem Statement • Proposed Solution • Results • Conclusions • Future Work

  3. MOTIVATION • To learn more about writing programs • To learn how to network computers with written programs • Decrease lines at the movie theaters…

  4. INTRODUCTION • Created with Visual Basic • Program and Setup Similar to Self Checkouts • Unreal Streaming Media Server Used to Broadcast and Monitor Web Cams at Terminals

  5. PROBLEM STATEMENT • How To Use One Cashier To Monitor Multiple Movie Sales • Movie Previews Available Before Tickets Are Purchased • Keep Tallies Of How Many Tickets Are Available For Sale

  6. PROPOSED SOLUTION • How to build the software • Visual Basic 6.0 Professional • Unreal Streaming Media Server • Windows Media Player

  7. Proposed Solution Cont. • Server Program with one video feed from client one • Movie Tallies on the right side update every 5 seconds • Approve and Deny buttons at the bottom of each video display for R-Rated Movies

  8. Proposed Solution Cont. • Client Program • Purchase ticket buttons (R-Rated movies wait for approval) • Windows Media Player for preview buttons

  9. Software • Visual Basic 6.0 Professional • Sample of program code for client program

  10. Software (Video) • Unreal Streaming Media Server • Broadcasts video across the network • Unreal Live Server • Connects web cam to server

  11. Software (Previews) • Windows Media Player • Integrated into the program • Previews saved to hard drive of client or on server

  12. Movie Tallies • Movie Tallies updated every 5 seconds • Tallies are stored in a shared folder • Clients access files in the shared folder • Clients writes new amount of tickets

  13. Movie Tallies Cont. (R-Rated) • A request writes a 1 to a text file • A 1 alerts the cashier to approve or deny • Approve writes a 2 to the text file • Deny writes a 3 to the text file

  14. RESULTS • Demonstration

  15. CONCLUSIONS • Complete program works and would be efficient in a real life working environment • Allows movie theaters to save money • Not sacrificing the monitoring of the sale of the R-Rated tickets

  16. Conclusions Cont.What I Learned • More familiar with Visual Basic and code writing techniques • Media servers and how to broadcast from a web cam over such servers • Integrate other programs into Visual Basic designed programs, such as Windows Media Player

  17. FUTURE WORK • Using data server instead of text files for movie tallies • Add camera controls into the server program for the cashier • Use more recent version of visual basic to work better with modern software and peripherals
