What is webinos

What does it give you

Open Web Application PlatformOpen framework for developing multi device web applications, using open standards

What does it give you

Cross Device Communication ProtocolsWeb friendly open protocols for discovering and sharing services over cloud, local networks and even proprietary networking schemes

What does it give you

A privacy frameworkConsumer data sovereigntyYou Own Your DataA universal mechanism for exerting direct control over your data, devices and services

The value of open

webinos supports 3 essential open principles that we believe are essential for long term success

Open Standards

• All webinos standards are created under a royalty free IPR framework ensuring anyone can implement without licence fee and ensuring compatibility with W3C specifications

Open Source

• Webinos code is delivered under Open Source license, delivered under an open community. This ensures widest participation and minimised the fragmentation (we do not anticipated multiple implementations)

Open Market

• Webinos technology is AppStore agnostic. Unlike Chrome or Mozilla, we encourage many appstores, not just one - under an open web friendly ethos.”

webinos technology overview

webinos makes extensive use of node.JS to ensure OS portability– node.JS is used as porting layer– node.JS is used as server technology– Android platform is based on “anode” open source project

webinos will use existing standards based web app technologies– HTML 5– JavaScript– W3C API’s– JSON-RPC – + others

webinos will connect all of a users devices and the cloud

webinos will be designed to be secure and respect user privacy– Secure authenticated TLS connections – certified

11

Webinos core technology components Specification Purpose

TLS Mutually authenticated TLS for secure bi-lateral comms

PKI Distributed certificate schema for person/device identity

platform for rapid development of – Streaming TV– Media: Videos, Pictures Music– Appstore and Games

Local wifi “private cloud” gives seamless secure interaction with phones at tablets

– Use as remote control– User to watch or sync media– Use dual screen app - e.g. dual screen

advertising

Remote “private cloud” means media and experience can be shared with friends long distance

All protocols and code are open, meaning no technology lock-in – maximum interoperability

support Retailers and brand owners can create websites that “add-value” to the

physical shopping experience– Curated content: links to catalogue and stock data– Media: links to magazines and articles that mention or are about this

product– Social: links to social media streams and commentary

All this can be delivered using standard HTML and JavaScript – using a universal browser

KatwarnEmergency Warning

Katwarn is a service that informs citizens about nearby emergencies in order to provide possibilities for immediate reactions.

InRush will deliver a system for subscription on emergency notifications and management of counter-measures by extending the existing Katwarn service.

Improved location awareness (dynamic notification based on locations of the users devices) levaraging on the webinos personal zone concept to address people rather than devices.

InRush app does not need to be installed on each device as webinos takes care on finding the appropriate devices for notifying the citizen about emergency cases.

Depending on the emergency level different actions can be triggered on available devices.

Through the integration of IoT features, such as sensors and actuators for home automation, additional actions beside of notifications can be taken: closing windows and doors automatically based on certain alert level.

File Share

File Manager is an app for "enhanced" file management.

It adds to the common file management operations (rename, copy, move..) features to:– Selectively share data

among personal devices and users.

– Controlling also who can access what.

– Enable/disable version management of files.

– Stick notes on data. These notes may contain for example comments or context related information.

Webinos added value: Support for – Security and

synchronisation – Device related and

Context based information

PC Mobile Runtimes also provided for PC

and Mobile PC and mobiles can share

services and APIs with each other

Full appstore integration and commercialisation route fro web applications

Rich API suite for enhance browser experience

Entire software stack available as open source

All protocols Open Standard ensuring maximum cross device interoperability

Partyplayer

Allows users to share music stored on their devices on other devices (e.g. TVs)

In control of own data – data remains on own device

Ad hoc sharing across devices and users

Adding songs to a play list Voting for favourite songs
