kiosk

I need to develop a kiosk system. The only payment option will be a credit card/debit card. The kiosk need to be networked with another PC. For example, if a customer orders something on the kiosk, it needs to be sent to a another pc where a store employee can see what was ordered. Here are my following solutions: OPTION 1) web based application Use FLASH, ASP.net, or JAVA for user interface? If I take this route, how can I communicate with the credit/debit card reader? The reader will be installed on the kiosk, but the kiosk software will be on the web. Would I have to create a secure

How can I programmatically enable/disable an android screen reader service such as TalkBack? I am developing a kiosk type application that will be installed on an Android device that will be loaned to visitors while they visit a particular museum. (We are still in the process of determining what device we will use.) The plan is to only allow users to use our app and not have access to the android settings application. However, we'd like to allow users to configure some accessibility settings. When they are finished with the device, we need to restore all the settings to our defaults. The

I am creating a kiosk application and I want to ensure it is always, no matter what, on top of other Windows applications and the Windows task bar. I am already blocking Windows keyboard commands (alt-tab, etc) but there are still situations that could cause an application to launch and steal the screen. Is it possible to hook into Windows from .NET and continually test whether the application has focus and is on top, and if not then give it focus and make it on top? Chris Gomez I've actually worked on a production kiosk (it was Windows 2000, however). The solution was to run our application

I'm creating a C# application that will lock out functionality (key combinations, windows task bar, etc.) in a Kiosk-style environment. One of the requirements is that some people should still be able to break out of the application using a key combination and a password. The application itself is completely done, but I have not found a good way to store and check against a password. Everything should be stored locally (there is not check against a network database or whatever). How can I define a password for unlocking my application while also making this flexible (the ability to change the

Has anyone got task locking working in Android L? Could they share some details on how it works? I have seen the instructions below, but struggling to understand this. At the moment I have made an App that I would like to run in kiosk mode. I have looked at making it a launcher App or using Surelock but the new task locking looks like it will be the best option in future. I need to create a userdebug build of Android L? I have not built Android from source before, I started looking at making a build but I don't think the source for Android-L is available yet? To set up a device owner, follow

My company operates using public kiosks. These kiosks are running Windows 8 and though they are secure, they are certainly not as secure as the kiosks AKA ATMS you would see at a bank. The reason for running Windows 8 is to take advantage of the new Kiosk feature that Microsoft recently introduced. However, it seems that the OS only allows operation in this KIOSK mode if the software that is being run or intended to be run is available on the Windows Store as an application. The software required is not able to be put out to the Windows Store at this moment, but I'd still like to take

We are looking to print to a POS printer connected where apache is running. Due to design of the application, and deployment, printing should be done from Server (it should detect the order and send to different printers and different formats of printing...bill, kitchen orders, and so on...). For this reason and others (like access application from an iPad for example) we discard options like QZ-Print applet and needst o print directly server side. We searched a lot, and found that there are an extension called php-printer but seems outdated, and just works under WIndows. We followed this code
