Development of Offline Chat Application: Framework for Resilient Disaster Management

摘要

The purpose of this study is to develop an Offline Chat Service, by which a user can send a message in the absence of the internet, cellular data and signal. The Wireless Fidelity or WiFi will serve as their access point to connect to another user, which can detect and pair into a different device as long as the other users are connected in a same network. But before the user can fully exchange messages; User B must accept User A's request to exchange message, if User B declines the request, both user can search another device again to send message. This study has an Admin side to see who and how many devices are connected in the same network. However, the mobile application can only pair into Android Devices, the researcher is still conducting research to make the application broader and pair into Apple Devices.
