Raspberry & ODROID-C4 Development – Cloud-based Screen Advertising Management & Control System

Our cloud-based digital signage software allows you to remotely manage and showcase your digital content on any display anywhere in the world. You can create and publish content in seconds, and your screens will always be updated. This project has been done by leveraging the power of Raspberry and ODROID-C4 Application Development.

Features

• Connect the ScreenFluence digital signage player to any available screens and immediately manage your content from any device.
• Uploading as many images, videos, and documents as you want. Creating as many user accounts as you need. You can have either one location or a hundred. ScreenFluence will make it easy to manage your digital displays from any device.
• SSO authentication.

Challenges

• This is a big project with many challenges. But the most difficult problem is that we needed to deal with high video playback performance on a minimal resource of the Raspberry Development.
• The client expects no gap while transitioning from one video to another. This one was very challenging.

Solutions – Raspberry .vs ODROID-C4 Development

• We had to brainstorm with many R&D activities. We changed back and forth between Android and Electron to measure the performance of each. The same R&D has been done for Raspberry and C4. Finally, we determined to use ODROID-C4 and Android.
• We also had to optimize the Android app significantly with a well-organized multi-threading. Also, we leveraged foreground processing for additional performance effects.

Business outcomes

• There are more than 2,000 active devices.

Conclusion

This project shows our best in Custom Software Development and Android Application Development. Additionally, we showed adaptability since we joined the project from somewhere in the middle. Then we figured out the technical problems & started working on new solutions. We researched and worked well with external devices such as Raspberry and C4 during that time. We also recommended switching from Ruby on Rails Development to Python Development with Django and moving from jQuery to a more modern Vuejs Single Page Application.
