Abstract
Recent advances in communication technologies have enabled an exponential growth in connected devices like Android smart phones and tablets. These devices are mainly used for content consumption. However, limited resources available on these devices, as well as always connected internet accessibility makes these devices ideal platforms for cloud computing. This project is an attempt at creating personal media cloud player app for Android smart phone devices. The project uses off the shelf hardware components for private cloud implementation and Java programming over Android to provide full featured media cloud platform. This private media cloud enables users to: • Store media files (images/audio/video etc) in the cloud • Access the media files from their Android device Additionally, the project aims at providing following features: • File browsing • Audio streaming (MP3) • Video streaming (MP4) • Images (JPEG/PNG) • e-radio/ Photo Slide Show The project aims at developing an application that can be used by any Android (version 2.2 and higher) smartphone to implement above mentioned media functionality.
