UP TO DATE APPBy: Henok and DaQuan

Problem and Question Problem that your App Will Solve...

Not having the newest software update on your computer can be dangerous and installing can take a long time.

Question Can we update our computers from a

remote app allowing us to do it anytime and anywhere?

What we want to achieve An app that allows anyone with an

Android to update their software on their computers through a wireless network.

Create a very simple app for this function.

Both pieces of software completely free on computer and mobile devices.

An app that is very reliable and doesn’t fail, function is key.

Why our App? Nothing does exactly what our app

does, so there are no other alternatives to it.

With UpToDate you can be anywhere on the earth, and as long as you have service on your phone, you can manage the software on your computer, download new software and updates to keep your computer ready for the next time you use it, putting you ahead in business and life.

What We Learned People Don’t like to spend money, so a free

app is always better. People like easier lives, so anything that

can make their life easier is a potential product that they would be interested in.

People don’t like things that don’t make their life easier, so anything that doesn’t is bound to be out.

Ideas are great, but function is key. It won’t matter how many cool things it can do when it can’t even work in the first place.

Mini Elevator Pitch

My team, Uptodate, is developing the Uptodate app to help anyone with a computer solve freezing, un-responding, slowing computers by making it easier to update your computer from your mobile device.

What we created The idea of our app is to have

software on your computer and your mobile device, and have this software control the rest of your software on your computer.

You can update any piece of software like iTunes from your phone, that way you don’t have to do it when you need to use your computer.

You can remotely download new software.

Downloading photoshop won’t take 8 hours anymore, it’ll be ready for you when you turn your computer on.

Our Target Demographic People who use their computer as a

tool for business Highschool Students College Students Anyone in the business world

We want wide appeal to help everyone stay up to date.

What it looks like

When users first open the app they will be prompted to login to their UpToDate account.

They will then be presented with the main menu, where they can either select to update their computer or too change their settings. Users can also logout and exit the app.

You can then choose what type of software you want to update, from games, everyday software or your whole OS

Users are then prompted with what specific computer they want to update. You can add more computers by using the “Add a New Computer” button.

You are then given an ETA of how long it will take to update

They then can choose the specific program they want to update, with information on version numbers and data size.

When out of the app your phone will tell you when the update has been completed.That’s UpToDate

Technical Feasibility: My partners and I made this

prototype app through app inventor in our summer class

We’re new to computer science and would need technical assistance to have this app make updates.

What we enjoyed most... The coolest thing while working on

UpToDate was seeing it’s progress as me and my team were creating it, especially seeing it operate on a tablet.
