Lecture Post 4


My application that I want to create is designed to help you not have to stress out about what you want to wear everyday. This app takes the photographs of pieces of clothing that you take and generates a new original outfit everyday depending on the weather and what you want look you want to go fro that day. As a user you are also able to share your pictures of your outfits through social media sites and keep track of your outfits through spreadsheets.
Some of the most popular operating systems running today are Windows, Unix, Mac OS, and Linux. My application can be used on any type of operating system. Once the photographs of the outfit are uploaded and synched you should be able to have no problem using any type of photo editing tool such as Photoshop, because it will be able to be downloaded to fit any sort of operating system.
There are two types of operating systems; stand alone and embedded. For this application it is only really necessary to use stand-alone operating system because there are various types of security that is used, and it allows virtualization. Security is important because if you share photos through social media sites, or send photographs of your outfits you want to make sure that random people that you do not know aren’t able to view your photographs or your location from when you input your zip code to see the weather to generate your outfit. Virtualization is important because it stores your photographs in the cloud somewhere so they are never lost, and you can always find a way to find them.
Embedded OS also could work, because everything resides on a ROM chip on a mobile device. This is a good thing because you can download the application to your smart phone, which stores data using this ROM chip. The way that the application works is that you download the app to your phone, and use it on a mobile device then you sync the information to some other form of computer. So, initially there is use of an embedded operating system.
