Introduction :

WiFiMage is an application that lets you send photos from your iPhone to your computer,
 through a WiFi connection.

The primary objective of WiFiMage is to use your iPhone as a camera to send pictures to one of the
Médiasoft Technologies applications dedicated to the achievement of plastic badges:

·         eMedia-CS

·         Office-Cards

·         Visitors

Indeed, these applications incorporate a technology allowing direct use of a picture that arrives in a given folder
for a direct badge integration.

Environment:

 To operate WiFiMage, you must have:

·        An iPhone (3, 3GS or 4).

·        The application WiFiMage (downloaded from the AppStore).

·        One of three Médiasoft Technologies applications dedicated to badges.

·        An internet connection, like ADSL*, on your desktop computer.

·        An FTP Software (we recommend FileZilla, which is free to download here).

The configuration of these elements is fairly simple to perform, the whole process is described here.

The wireless connection should be enabled on your iPhone.

* Note: It is possible, in some cases (ADSL connection unstable or absent), to establish a WiFi AdHoc
between your iPhone and your computer.

While working very well, this type of connection is more complicated to configure.

If you wish to establish this type of connection, see one of the many websites dealing with this problem..

Operation:

1.      Settings

Access (with the icon "Settings"from the iPhone, then by area "WiFiMage") the settings of the application.

The settings are divided into two groups:

·         FTP Settings

These are informations needed to connect the FTP to your computer.

It is the URL of the login and password, which are determined by the settings of your FTP server.

·         Options

Cropping allows you, after a photo shoot, to crop and zoom your picture
(By default: Yes).

The album recording, indicates whether you wish to register your shooting in the album of your iPhone
(The default setting is: Off).

These parameters must be completed before use and they will be saved until you decide to change.

2.      Use

After selecting the icon WiFiMage on your iPhone screen, you will arrive directly on
the main screen of the application.

• Button 1 gives you access to your iPhone photo album.

• Button 2  allows you to access the camera from your iPhone.

• Button 3  sends the picture to your computer
  (this button is active only after a picture validation).

• Button 4 displays a screen of summary information about WiFiMage.

The only thing left is to start printing the badge.

If your application is properly configured, your photo will be displayed directly on the badge model on your screen.

 

Notes :

• After choosing the picture, you may be able to crop and zoom it (see picture crop parameter), or take another picture if the one above does not give you satisfaction.

• Once you made your choice, your photo will be saved in your album (see picture saving parameter).

• If you chhose the photo cropping, your image will take exactly the dimensions of the frame of your screen, otherwise your photo will retain its original proportions.

• You can also go directly to the camera by touching the gray silhouette in the center of the screen.

Take your picture (button 1), crop it and/or "zoom it" if necessary, it will just send it (button 3).

 

 

3.      Example
