'''Protocol requirements''' for the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] seem to include at least | '''Protocol requirements''' for the [[healthy buying infrastructure]] seem to include at least: | ||
*[[HTTP]] and [[REST]] to the [[web browser]], as typical access to [[Development Wiki]] and [[Research Wiki]]. | |||
[[Hardware requirements]] and [[hardware standard]]s | *[[Voice]] (or at least [[touchtone]]) control and [[audio]] communication to a [[headset]] for [[eyesfree]] and [[handsfree]] use at the [[retail shelf]] and [[checkout counter]], where people are typically too busy to look at screens. | ||
::[[DECT]] seems like the ideal way to provide both of these sets of services | |||
Beyond that, the following are optional: | |||
*Each high-capability [[terminal device]] presenting a [[Consumerium buying signal]] might have an [[IP number]] issued from a block someone controls. Every [[retail shelf]] might ultimately have one too, if [[friendly retail]] becomes the norm. | |||
*Ideally, some integration with [[ICQ]] or another [[chat net]] that can support [[SecureIM]] - see [[interwiki identity standard]] for more on this, which suggests [[jabber.org]] protocol may play a role in [[authentication]]. Possibly [[SMS]] also for communication between [[mobile device]]s. | |||
::[[Consumerium Service access]] should include access to other users, especially if [[brand management]] types can pay to promote [[green light]] products to users, making it all [[self-funding]]. | |||
:::Ideally since we have drifted from syntactically strict data format into [[wiki code]] that is easier for human cognition we should try to offer the '''avantgarde consumerist''' information and then rely on people getting into discussions over/on the information thus the [[healthy signal infrastructure]] is extended by word-of-mouth. | |||
[[Hardware requirements]] and [[hardware standard]]s constrain the protocols: [[Bluetooth]] or [[DECT]] for instance is assumed to be required to get both secure communication and [[modular hardware]]. But if [[in-store radio]] and [[audio]] presentation becomes a more effective way to deliver the [[Consumerium buying signal]], and [[privacy risk]] is not a concern, i.e. most of what is delivered is [[green light ad]]s, then: | |||
*In-the-clear [[FM radio]] may well be the most important protocol, with [[analog cell]] perhaps augmenting it. | |||
*Entirely different protocols such as [[walkie-talkie]] or [[cordless protocol]] applications that call the customer back with an [[audio]] presentation on the product they just [[barcode scan]]ned, may also be more useful to support than anything based on an [[IP number]], if more phones end up with these capabilities. |
