Panlingual Camera Phone

Device-Based Prototype

1. Installation Requirements.

The device-based prototype of the Panlingual Camera Phone has been tested only on a system
consisting of:

(1) A computer running under Windows XP Professional with Visual Studio 5.0, Windows Mobile
SDK for Smartphone, and .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 installed.

(2) A Cingular 8125 mobile communication device.

(3) A WiFi network to which both the above hosts have access.

To run the prototype, download the prototype, unzip it, launch Visual Studio, and open the
PanCam solution. Then modify the setting for the IP address of the server in the PanCam
client project, so that the IP address is that of the server. Then connect the Cingular 8125
device and install the PanCam client project on the device. Then run the PanCam server project
on the computer.

2. Operating Instructions.

When the mobile-device user enters text and requests that it be translated, the text will
appear in the server window and the server user can enter a translation for that text in
the lower pane of that window and transmit the translation, which will then appear on the
mobile device.

The mobile device user must press the enter key a second time after taking a photograph, in
order to confirm the user's intent to use the captured image.

3. Limitations.

When the mobile-device user takes a photograph or selects an existing image for translation,
the image is not transmitted to the server. Instead, a fixed OCR output appears on the
mobile device, and when the user asks for a translation a fixed translation appears.
