Tiivistelmä
The aim of this research work is to design a prototype web based application for touch screen information panel, which can be used in Kemi-Tornio University of Applied Sciences. Today, touch screen panel technologies are used for variety of services. The objective of this research work is to provide organized and easy accessible information on touch screen panel. To accomplish the objective of the research, constructive research methodology was used to provide a solution for KTUAS information system. Conducting interviews helped me understand the user requirements.
In my research work I analyzed touch screen technologies and their characteristics. Touch screen panel applications can be programmed by using a high level of programming language for example, C++, Java or using HTML in combination with web browser. In my research work I used Java programming language and MySQL database to design and implement the prototype web based application. Unified Modelling Language was used to design the visual diagram. The user interface was designed by Java swing and AWT applications. MySQL database and Java project were connected by JDBC driver.
The outcome of this thesis work can be used by KTUAS for further implementation and research. The output contains a prototype user interface which is connected with MySQL database. An analysis of touch screen technology and user requirements are also included in the research work.
