INSTALL

This shows how to install srs ui loc (srs_ui_loc).

  1. Allow installing apps from unknown sources: Settings->Applications->Unknown sources->check

  2. Copy srs_ui_loc.apk onto the device (Samsung Galaxy SII)
  3. Install it by opening it

CONFIGURATION

After installing the apk file, you will find a new app called "SRS" in your apps list. Start the app and follow these instructions to configure it correctly:

  • Touch the "Settings" button
  • Type in the hostname of the computer running the ROS server (e.g. "cob3-3-pc1")
  • Type in the apartment name (e.g. "ipa-kitchen")
  • Type in the skype user name for the UI_LOC user
  • Type in the skype user password for the UI_LOC user
  • Type in the skype user name used for emergency calls
  • Touch the "Edit etc/hosts file" button
  • add/change entries as necessary (format for each line: "ip-address hostname", e.g. "192.168.0.101 cob3-3-pc1")
  • Touch "Save" button
  • Touch "Save Settings" button

Note1: You need to scroll on the Settings screen in order to reach all parts of it.
Note2: Type in all necessary configuration data without quotes.

Usage/Examples

  1. Start srs_scenarios on the computer with the hostname you have configured in Settings

  2. On the same computer, start srs_mixed_reality_server

  3. Start SRS app on device
  4. Change settings if needed as described above
  5. Touch "SRS" button to start UI_LOC
  6. Use buttons provided by UI_LOC to navigate through UI_LOC (soft phone buttons are deactivated)

Note1: The first time you start UI_LOC, there won't be any contacts to call. To change that, you need to restart UI_LOC: in the Main menu (two grey, one red button) open the android menu, choose "Exit" and then touch the "SRS" button again.

Note2: A contact photo is transmitted during the first call to that contact. However, it won't be displayed before restarting UI_LOC. Therefore, in order to have all contact photos, one needs to call all contacts (only ringing them does not work) and then restart UI_LOC. The contact photos will be saved permanently.

Other

To read the phone log or to debug the application (with adb or eclipse), one needs to activate USB debugging: Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging->check.
