The intense three-month study of software development is coming to an end, and it is now in the testing phase. During the period of the PM, I think about the progress, implementation, design, however, I forgot the real one, and analyzed the user experience and user needs. Now I will post out the design of our software and the important features, for your reference, please kindly advise.
1. What are we doing?
We are actually working on a mobile terminal application called Conference helper ).
To help those who often participate in academic meetings better manage conference agenda, quickly select the session or talk to be attended and implement the alarm function. At the same time, we will also bring fast information to those who want to attend meetings in unfamiliar cities, including GPS positioning, conference location, hotel location, hotel phone number, and other information, it makes users feel "alone" in unfamiliar cities ".
2. Our users?
From the software name, we can see that the mobile client has a very clear set of users who often participate in academic meetings, such as researchers and professors.
3. What is our platform and runtime environment?
Our product development relies on the data support of Microsoft Asia Research Institute's academic search and runs in Windows Phone 7.1 or above system environments.
4. Our user demand analysis and demand Positioning
In the early stage of product development, we made a survey on the researchers who often participate in international conferences. According to their feedback, there is indeed a situation where users often bring a booklet during the Conference, or the organizer will send a lot of Conference-related information to the participants, which is not very convenient and not very targeted for browsing, but the mobile phone is always carrying it, so we should say that the user's pain is still there, so what is their ideal parameter status?
I. They must ensure that they can quickly browse the agenda of the meeting and quickly locate the session or talk they are interested in. This is the core.
2. You can add your favorite session as a memo, and remind the user to attend the meeting before the meeting.
3. If you can add some Venue Information, some hotel information, and some maps to your mobile phone, it will be very convenient.
5. Implementation of our products

If a user searches for a meeting, the search result interface is displayed. At this time, the user will get the relevant search meeting results, as well as related papers and authors. If you click a meeting, I will go to the meeting details page.
The user can see the relevant information of the meeting, whether there is a conference agenda, and call for papers. If you click agenda, an agenda page is displayed. This is an entry for you to enter the Agenda page. Another user wants to enter the agenda portal of the meeting. There is an upcoming page in the main interface, which records two items, you can see the content of the call for paper and the list of recently held meetings with calendar. At this time, if you click, we will enter the Agenda page
2. After you select the two portals described above, you can access the corresponding agenda page. At this time, you can quickly browse the Conference agenda on the Agenda page.
The figure shows the number of days of the meeting and views the session and talk every day. If you like it, add it to favorites, you can also set an alarm. You can also perform a quick query on the authors. The authors list can be viewed quickly by letter type.
Of course, in order to facilitate user query, we can quickly locate the session and the author's name based on the time and the first letter of the author.
If you click the session time or a letter, the time list or the first letter of the author list will be displayed. You can select the desired time and locate it to a specific position.
III. in the session of the meeting, we have the Add button. You can add the session to a favorite list (this is also a panorama item). After each added session, we will also add it to the remind function, alarm reminder. Of course, you can use the remind settings below to set whether to remind, how many minutes in advance reminder, and other functions.
Is the corresponding remind settings. We can set whether to send a reminder when adding the reminder. If there is a reminder, there will be more time and other features.

There are three tile, favorite authors, favorite publications, and favorite conferences. If you are interested in an author, paper, or conference, you can add them.
