Introduction
The bounce software suite is designed to provide a number of software modules and
tools for defining the integration points between the your data and the EPOP. The
software enables the development of image templates for simplifying the design of
ticketing information and provides tools for defining rules that must be applied to the
data feeds in order to ensure that the correct information is displayed on the EPOPs at
the right time. The software also provides a network management layer for controlling
the update of the EPOPs and recording auditing information that can be retrieved
using the reporting module.
The software consists of four core elements:
Product Description
Architect This product consists of a Microsoft .Net application that
provides the means to define the data sources for product
information, set up what to do with the data and create a
schedule of when the data should be examined for changes.
Architect also provides tools for defining EPOP product image
templates and for creating Collections of templates that will be
used with the defined data set.
The Policies and Collections that are created within Architect
will then be used by Processor to generate images for the EPOP
displays.
Processor This product consists of a Microsoft .Net application that runs
continuously on a server and uses the Policies and Collections
defined within Architect to acquire the data when scheduled,
perform the required transformations, determine what data has
changed and render product images for those products whose
data has changed.
Communicate The product consists of a Microsoft .Net application that runs
continuously on a server and is responsible for transmitting the
appropriate product images to any EPOPs that have been
assigned to the defined products.
Communicate is responsible for providing the underlying
communications structure for deploying a large number of
EPOP display devices.
Previous releases of Bounce Software consisted of only the
Bounce Communicate element.
Manager This product consists of a set of web pages, written for the
Microsoft ASP.Net web application framework, residing on an
ASP.Net compatible web server. It provides the tools required
to manage a Bounce software installation via a Web interface.
It provides a configuration manager, a report manager and an
EPOP assignment manager.
