What is webinos

4. What does it give you
Open Web Application
Platform
Open framework for
developing multi device
web applications, using
open standards

5. What does it give you
Cross Device
Communication Protocols
Web friendly open
protocols for discovering
and sharing services over
cloud, local networks and
even proprietary
networking schemes

6. What does it give you
A privacy framework
Consumer data
sovereignty
You Own Your Data
A universal mechanism for
exerting direct control over
your data, devices and
services

7. 7
The value of open
 webinos supports 3 essential open principles that we
believe are essential for long term success
Open Standards
• All webinos standards are created under a royalty free IPR
framework ensuring anyone can implement without
licence fee and ensuring compatibility with W3C
specifications
Open Source
• Webinos code is delivered under Open Source license,
delivered under an open community. This ensures widest
participation and minimised the fragmentation (we do
not anticipated multiple implementations)
Open Market
• Webinos technology is AppStore agnostic. Unlike Chrome
or Mozilla, we encourage many appstores, not just one -
under an open web friendly ethos.”

data to all devices from a centralised
place
 Access currently provide to
– Multiple sensors (temperature, humidity, light)
– Multiple actuators (switches , valves)
– Heating control systems
– GPS monitors
– Health monitors (Heart Rate etc)

33. webinos Payment across
screens
 A webinos browser comes with in-built NFC support and Payment API support
 Retailers and brand owners can create websites that “add-value” to the physical
shopping experience
– Curated content: links to catalogue and stock data
– Media: links to magazines and articles that mention or are about this product
– Social: links to social media streams and commentary
 All this can be delivered using standard HTML and JavaScript – using a universal
browser
 Demo:
– Use of webinos Payment API

34. Katwarn
Emergency Warning
 Katwarn is a service that informs citizens about
nearby emergencies in order to provide possibilities
for immediate reactions.
 InRush will deliver a system for subscription on
emergency notifications and management of
counter-measures by extending the existing
Katwarn service.
 Improved location awareness (dynamic notification
based on locations of the users devices) levaraging
on the webinos personal zone concept to address
people rather than devices.
 InRush app does not need to be installed on each
device as webinos takes care on finding the
appropriate devices for notifying the citizen about
emergency cases.
 Depending on the emergency level different
actions can be triggered on available devices.
 Through the integration of IoT features, such as
sensors and actuators for home automation,
additional actions beside of notifications can be
taken: closing windows and doors automatically
based on certain alert level.

35. File Share
 File Manager is an app for
"enhanced" file management.
 It adds to the common file
management operations
(rename, copy, move..) features
to:
– Selectively share data among
personal devices and users.
– Controlling also who can
access what.
– Enable/disable version
management of files.
– Stick notes on data. These
notes may contain for example
comments or context related
information.
 Webinos added value:
Support for
– Security and
synchronisation
– Device related and Context
based information

36. PC Mobile
 Runtimes also provided for PC and
Mobile
 PC and mobiles can share services
and APIs with each other
 Full appstore integration and
commercialisation route fro web
applications
 Rich API suite for enhance browser
experience
 Entire software stack available as
open source
 All protocols Open Standard
ensuring maximum cross device
interoperability

37. Partyplayer
 Allows users to share
music stored on their
devices on other devices
(e.g. TVs)
 In control of own data – data
remains on own device
 Ad hoc sharing across devices
and users
 Adding songs to a play list
 Voting for favourite songs
