The Consumer Agent is a small [[w:agent|agent]] program that resides in the [[consumer]]'s terminal (cell phone or pda) that provides the [[UI]] to the information in the [[Consumerium]] network and computes [[Automatic Comparison]]s whenever needed.
'''The development is focused on providing an XHTML interface first and then if someone has the spare time, motivation and know-how a dedicated client may be developed'''


===Platforms and Languages:===
The Consumer Agent / Consumium app is a small [[w:agent|agent]] program that resides in the [[consumer]]'s terminal (cell phone or pda) that provides the [[UI]] to the information in the [[Consumerium]] network and computes [[Automatic Comparison]]s whenever needed.


This will be implemented as a C++ program for [[Symbian OS]] or [[Pocket PC]] devices and [[Midlet]] ([[Java MIDP]]) for broadest possible support of [[terminal]]s
Reading the digits under 1D [[barcodes]] is a reality on mobile devices today in the 10's has been implemented. 2D barcodes and [[NFC]] tags placed under the shelf tags are possible future developments in product identification.
 
== Plans for functionalities ==
* Acquire product id from camera device ( OCR the characters under the 1D barcode and/or product recognition from photo of product ). Support 2D barcodes and NFC. [[Scan station]]s that transmit over NFC touch.
* Acquire business id from Consumium database based on product id
* Display wiki article
* [[Voting]] and results systems
* [[Metrics]]
* [[Reviews]] read & write
* [[Feedback]] forms
* Links to selected [[essential projects]] and [[interesting projects]]
 
== Platforms: ==
 
* Android
* iOS
* Windows phone
* Sailfish / Ubuntu phone
* Others ?
