CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1. 1 AIM
The Mobile Phone Service Center system aims to enhance the efficiency of mobile phone
repair and maintenance operations by incorporating the following key features. Firstly, it
will manage mobile phone parts through real-time inventory tracking, ensuring optimal
stock levels and automated reordering. Secondly, the system will maintain an up-to-date
database of various mobile phone models, providing detailed specifications and
compatibility information. It will also facilitate user-friendly service request registration,
allowing customers to log requests and generating unique service request IDs. The online
portal will enable customers to check the real-time status of their service requests,
providing transparency in the repair process. Automated engineer allocation will optimize
resource utilization based on expertise, workload, and location. The system will integrate
secure payment gateways for seamless transactions and provide flexible payment options
for customers. Lastly, it will maintain a comprehensive customer database, including
contact information, service history, and feedback, for efficient customer management.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
The current state of mobile phone service centers faces challenges in terms of operational
efficiency, customer experience, and resource management. The absence of a centralized
system leads to manual and time-consuming processes in managing mobile phone parts
inventory, cataloging diverse phone models, and allocating service requests to engineers.
This results in delays, increased turnaround times, and a lack of transparency for
customers regarding the status of their service requests. Additionally, the absence of an
integrated payment system and comprehensive customer management leads to
inefficiencies in financial transactions and customer interactions. The Mobile Phone
Service Center system aims to address these challenges by providing a holistic solution to
streamline operations, improve customer satisfaction, and optimize resource allocation.
CHAPTER III
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
3.1 EXISTING SYSTEM
In the current Mobile Phone Service Center system, existing manual processes are
complemented by a Mobile Phone Service Center app, though its functionality presents
limitations. The mobile phone parts management lacks real-time tracking and automation,
similar to the manual procedures, potentially causing inefficiencies in inventory control.
Cataloging mobile phone models within the app is available but may not be regularly
updated, leading to potential discrepancies. Service request registration through the app is
present, but the overall process may still be subject to delays and inaccuracies. The status
check feature for service requests might exist, but it may not offer real-time updates or
comprehensive notifications. Engineer allocation, payment processing, and customer
management features within the app may not be fully optimized, resulting in a
fragmented user experience. Consequently, despite the inclusion of a mobile app, the
existing system struggles to provide a cohesive and efficient operation, impacting both
the functionality of the service center and overall customer satisfaction.
A system architecture or systems architecture is the conceptual model that defines the
structure and behavior and views of a system. An architecture description is a formal
description and representation of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning
about the structures and behaviors of the system.
A system architecture can comprise system components, the externally visible properties
of those components, the relationships (e.g. the behavior) between them. It can provide a
plan from which products can be procured, and systems developed, that will work
together to implement the overall system. There have been efforts to formalize languages
to describe system architecture, collectively these are called architecture description
languages. Systems architecture depends heavily on practices and techniques that were
developed over thousands of years in many other fields, perhaps the most important being
civil architecture.
CHAPTER V – TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
5.1 TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, which is the most widely used language on Web to
develop web pages.HTML was created by Berners-Lee in late 1991 but "HTML 2.0" was the first
standard HTML specification which was published in 1995. HTML 4.01 was a major version of HTML
and it was published in late 1999. Though HTML 4.01 version is widely used but currently we are
having HTML-5 version which is an extension to HTML 4.01, and this version was published in
2012.Hypertext refers to the way in which Web pages (HTML documents) are linked together. Thus
the link available on a webpage are called Hypertext. As its name suggests, HTML is a Markup
Language which means you use HTML to simply "mark up" a text document with tags that tell a Web
browser how to structure it to display.
Originally, HTML was developed with the intent of defining the structure of documents like headings,
paragraphs, lists, and so forth to facilitate the sharing of scientific information between researchers.
Now, HTML is being widely used to format web pages with the help of different tags available in
HTML language.
HTML Tags
As told earlier, HTML is a markup language and makes use of various tags to format the content. These
tags are enclosed within angle braces <Tag Name>. Except few tags, most of the tags have their
corresponding closing tags. For example <html> has its closing tag</html> and <body> tag has its
closing tag </body> tag etc.
Tag Description
<!DOCTYPE...> This tag defines the document type and HTML version.
<html> This tag encloses the complete HTML document and mainly comprises
of document header which is represented by <head>...</head> and
document body which is represented by <body>...</body> tags.
<head> This tag represents the document's header which can keep other HTML
tags like <title>, <link> etc.
<title> The <title> tag is used inside the <head> tag to mention the document
title.
<body> This tag represents the document's body which keeps other HTML tags
like <h1>, <div>, <p> etc.
To learn HTML, you will need to study various tags and understand how do they behave while
formatting a textual document. Learning HTML is simple as users have to learn the usage of different
tags in order to format the text or images to make a beautiful webpage.
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommends to use lowercase tags starting from HTML 4.
Heading Tags
Any document starts with a heading. You can use different sizes for your headings. HTML also has six
levels of headings, which use the elements <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, <h4>, <h5>, and <h6>. While
displaying any heading, browser adds one line before and one line after that heading.
There are many other declaration types which can be used in HTML document depending on what
version of HTML is being used. We will see more details on this while discussing <!DOCTYPE...> tag
along with other HTML tags.
Paragraph Tag
The <p> tag offers a way to structure your text into different paragraphs. Each paragraph of text should
go in between an opening <p> and a closing </p> .
Line Break Tag
Whenever you use the <br /> element, anything following it starts from the next line. This tag is an
example of an empty element, where you do not need opening and closing tags, as there is nothing to
go in between them.
The <br /> tag has a space between the characters br and the forward slash. If you omit this space,
older browsers will have trouble rendering the line break, while if you miss the forward slash character
and just use <br> it is not valid in XHTML
Horizontal Lines
Horizontal lines are used to visually break up sections of a document. The <hr> tag creates a line from
the current position in the document to the right margin and breaks the line accordingly.
JSP
JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a server-side programming technology that enables the creation of dynamic,
platform-independent method for building Web-based applications. JSP have access to the entire family
of Java APIs, including the JDBC API to access enterprise databases. JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a
technology for developing web pages that support dynamic content which helps developers insert java
code in HTML pages by making use of special JSP tags, most of which start with <% and end with %>.
A JavaServer Pages component is a type of Java servlet that is designed to fulfill the role of a user
interface for a Java web application. Web developers write JSPs as text files that combine HTML or
XHTML code, XML elements, and embedded JSP actions and commands.
Using JSP, you can collect input from users through web page forms, present records from a database or
another source, and create web pages dynamically.
JSP tags can be used for a variety of purposes, such as retrieving information from a database or
registering user preferences, accessing JavaBeans components, passing control between pages and
sharing information between requests, pages etc. JavaServer Pages often serve the same purpose as
programs implemented using the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). But JSP offer several advantages
in comparison with the CGI.
Performance is significantly better because JSP allows embedding Dynamic Elements in HTML Pages
itself instead of having a separate CGI files.
JSP are always compiled before it's processed by the server unlike CGI/Perl which requires the server to
load an interpreter and the target script each time the page is requested.
JavaServer Pages are built on top of the Java Servlets API, so like Servlets, JSP also has access to all the
powerful Enterprise Java APIs, including JDBC, JNDI, EJB, JAXP etc.
JSP pages can be used in combination with servlets that handle the business logic, the model supported
by Java servlet template engines.
Finally, JSP is an integral part of Java EE, a complete platform for enterprise class applications. This
means that JSP can play a part in the simplest applications to the most complex and demanding.
A number of Web Servers that support JavaServer Pages and Servlets development are available in the
market. Some web servers are freely downloadable and Tomcat is one of them.
Apache Tomcat is an open source software implementation of the JavaServer Pages and Servlet
technologies and can act as a standalone server for testing JSP and Servlets and can be integrated with
the Apache Web Server. Here are the steps to setup Tomcat on your machine:
