Hello everyone, myself Sai Krishna Paladugu. I'm an iOS developer. So today my topic is contactless integration for kiosk and iOS devices using JavaScript. So basically the technologies I'm going to cover here NFC, Bluetooth and QR code technologies. Basically the implementation for the kiosk for the various industries. Yeah, let me go to my table of contents and Yeah, here is all the contacts I'm going to cover about today. the iOS kiosk integration, WebView in native iOS development, With javascript nfc technology for seamless transactions bluetooth for proximity based services qr code and barcode scanning for contactless integration payment integration with apple pay custom ios apps for kiosk and use cases of ios kiosks in various industries mdm tools for easy device management So let me go to the first topic So the first topic is introducing, the kiosk integration. So basically, the kiosks where outside industries use iPhones and iPads, basically in the kiosk wise, they need a big screen. The people can come and they can do their, tasks. from themselves, most preferably iPads would be the best option. So basically these iPads and iPhones are increasingly being used in the self service kiosks due to their intuitive interfaces and powerful hardware. so these are all, very efficient and also we don't see any much lag and it is all. prompt and it will be more effective. these contactless experience are becoming essential for reducing the spread of germs and enhancing user convenience. Basically, the people are experienced a lot in the pre pandemic situation where this interaction, to the people to people will be, more concerns. So where we come up with the solution called a contactless integration for kiosk where people can come to our store for a shipping and they can do their self scanning the packages and printing the receipts and things like that. All the stops they can do for themselves without waiting for the team member to assist what they want. So Basically, this is all these devices are very fast and secure and touch free interactions Industry like retail healthcare and hospitality. So let me go to the another slide. So WebView in a native iOS development, Swift and Objective C with JavaScript. So basically in our current application where we integrated, JavaScript for one of the function, which is, to load, the web page. these are all the steps, We followed and we implemented a webpage inside of a native iwas container. So in the current project, we just creating a project and just adding a WK web view to your current com, view controller. If it is a start view controller, when you are starting a view, the first you there, you can integrate the W controller where you want to navigate to the specific webpage. So there we can import a web. Kit and create a outlet for web view and write a code to load page using url request So run the app to test the web view. So optionally Enable the javascript handle navigate events load HTML pages content. This simple process allows display web content within the iOS app using WKWebView. Basically, this web view is more helpful when your primary application, is a web application where you want to use the same features into your application. Native iOS, on the iPad. So this will be more useful where you can, inherit all the features using this WKWebView and you can just load the URL and just access the features. this is, the functionality where, web developer can develop and, iOS developer can use, using a WebKit. let's see how the code and how we have to create. basically, this is a iOS one of the view controller where you have to import UIKit and WebKit. In the particular view controller, you just have to extend a view UI, view controller, and a script message handler, the WK script message handler and where you have to initiate a variable. And, in the, when view is loading, in the first time, it'll call the web view configuration that you have to load where, use user content controller and add. So here the self is. self is the thing where, you have to, call the current, view controller. where you have to mention the name of the application. and where you have, Later on, you just have to initialize your web view, how you have to add and the configuration as well. So if for example, I take a url of our conference42. com slash javascript2024. I just want to load this url inside the native app That we can do it using this request and URL request, where you have to load all the features and requests. So these function, basically, user content, controller, where you have to, in, where you have to create and just, pass. the WK user content controller and in the did this you just have to Message the WK script message and here if the if you want to receive a message and you just have to, call the message equal to your application name and just where you can print the, whatever the message you want to print. So basically this is an interaction where JavaScript, that we can, use for loading the webpages inside of a native iOS container. So the next slide is about NFC technology for seamless transaction, basically for the kiosk in our, shipping stores where customer wants to, pay with their Apple Pay, they can do it. So basically we designed this using the predefined libraries that is provided by Apple and, where you have to integrate the NFC. frameworks and, just have to send the token, the sensitive token to when some customer wants to pay at the end of the shipment. this integration helps a lot. this is again, does not require any, team member help in, inside the store. So this allows users to make secure transactions and authenticate their identity by simply tapping the driver's device on a kiosk. Apple Pay facilitates contactless payments, making process fast and secure. So useful in various sectors like in retail and transportation healthcare. These are all the industries where this NFC technology is used a lot. Even, I think this uses everybody knows in, in current, outside space, so everybody knows. So how this is more useful. So next topic is, Bluetooth for proximity based services. So basically in our kiosk application, basically, we use, Bluetooth services, BLE functionality, and, where we have to discover our printers and to, print the receipts. So we use a Bluetooth technology and we use an accessory in the iOS where you have to fetch the particular device, the Zebra, if it is something like a Example of a zebra device that we have we will just fetch that particular printer and we will connect and These printers would help to print the receipts. So basically these proximity based services like Inside the store it will be used. So basically These actions these are for triggering the print printing the customer receipts and shipping labels so So these, these are all ideal for a service kiosk and even it is useful for, useful for hotel check ins, healthcare systems, where the interactions can initially, initiated automatically. So this is like a, process of integrating for a kiosk. for customer usage is a lot, when team member assistance is not required and customer usage is a lot where we have to use a proximity services, is required. next thing is, QR code and barcode scanning for, Contactless interactions. So basically scanning a QR code nowadays, like it is very popular. it's a, every iOS device has a, it's a built in camera where, it is a capability to scan QR codes and barcodes for contactless ways for user to interact with kiosk. So easy to, and also if. If it is a more faster system where we can integrate third party scanners, the third party scanners gives more, more faster and it will be more accurate scans where we can do that using the libraries provided by the third party suppliers. That is also doable for kiosk implementation. and, the currently the kiosks are like using a lot in the airports for ticket scanning and product information retrieval and contactless check ins. as I mentioned, it is, Used in the different sectors retail healthcare and transportation sector So when coming to the qr code creation and barcode creation the barcode creation will be happen on there Based on the business logic under the likewise The same thing is for QR code. So basically the creating the strings when somebody scan the QR code, there will be a string that will be sent to the backend and backend gives the response. That response we will be going to print or we will going to show to the customer. so this is something more, useful for the contactless integration. so these barcode and QR codes usage is a lot even in especially in the movie tickets or in the various places for a passes and also. So next topic is payment integration with Apple Pay. So this is very booming thing in United States or everywhere and overall the Overall all the countries so apple pay is consumed a lot like, you know for secure contactless transactions using face id and touch id This is also integrated and In our Self serve kiosk, so this is Reducing risk of both business and customers like this is a good solution. for Consumers retailers business holders and customers are everybody in the industry so Common use cases. This is also helped a lot this technology in the restaurants and public transportation ticket purchases so in our applications, when we You Involved in coming to the coding part in our iOS native library where we have to Use the predefined libraries provided by apple and we just have to integrate passing our sensitive access tokens and all the next thing custom ios apps for kiosk so Basically based on the business requirement. So every industry has their own own way of serving people so It is based on the requirement. We just have to Do a custom solution using ios and based on The devices that we're going to control in the enterprise level so the We can develop the ios apps to create a specific kiosk experience that integrate with back end systems like crm erp and customer loyalty programs if we If somebody goes to the example to the casino or they have a membership they can just you know Swipe the card and just can check their points and all same thing. This loyalty is applied Lte programs are applied everywhere. So basically these kiosks are helpful and we just have to create them library and just, we just have to manage what, based on the business requirement, how the, how their business want to serve the people. So these features like, tap to pay, push notification, digital receipt, enhancing self service experience. This is all the, so many advantages. using the iOS space so custom apps can offer multi ingredient support. personalized interactions, user friendly interfaces for better engagement. Yeah. Next slide. Use cases of kiosk for various, industries. Basically, these kiosks in a retail sector, the customers can browse, scan and purchase products, without physical contact and stream, streamlining the shopping experience. basically, this, in retail industry, the customers are more. And, the service, of service of customers, like giving a best if they are waiting on the lines. So it will be a, big headache for the store. so it, it depends. It is a huge traffic. It will be a, more wait time. Customer satisfaction is very less. If it is a self service kiosk, so they can come and shop around and just scan their stuff and go. As, easy so in the retail industry, the, the satisfaction of the customer will be more. So now everybody like in the outside, all the stores, retail stores, so reducing the human, power and just increasing the kiosk where, serving the people is very better way. in the healthcare, these kiosks are, helpful for patient check in. If they can go and just enter their confirmation, they can check in themselves, and the technician would know the patient is here. And, without asking and just, checking with the, whatever the store, representative or the, lab technician. In the transportation industry where, in the, in airports and transit systems use kiosks for contact solicitating. So boarding pass retrieval and, Journey planning. So basically that would help. So in the hospitality hotels use kiosk for guest check ins, room selection, contactless payments and improving efficiency and guest satisfaction. So MDM tools for easy device management. Basically in our space we use MDM to manage our enterprise mobile applications to Install on our enterprise devices. So these MDMs, tools are allow business manage and update I was remotely ensuring smooth operations. because we will, Manage by pushing from our MDM console without asking the team member or the store representative to install app or update the app and Take care the iOS updates and also we just use MDM too. This is very helpful and even in the low staffed areas This would be useful and small Fixes that we can perform over the MDM tool. So basically if something stuck, we can just remove, reboot, over the MDM tool, that would be helpful managing remotely instead of, somebody going there and checking what happens. So these tools are, we always track the devices when it is on online and it will go to offline. So MDM tools can push software updates, monitor performance and security compliance across large networks of kiosks. So ideal for kiosks with multiple kiosks in different locations, ensuring seamless and secure service across all points. The main more advantages using MDM is, in my experience, So if something happens, if the device is not responding, or if we know this particular location ID, we can just track the particular serial number of the device. And we can see if the device is interacting correctly or not, we can check the logs. And, that way without asking the customer, we can just help, over creating if somebody create the ticket and just, we can just, fix as, as soon as possible. This will be a very convenient solution. So there is so many tools outside where, MDM solutions, available for enterprise, mobile devices. So especially for iOS, is. helps a lot. these are all that. Yeah. this is all about I'm going to share. today. basically, I just want to let everybody know that, using iOS devices and creating business solutions For contactless integration would be a, going to be a greater deal in the near future. and also we can gain more customer satisfaction and also it will be helpful for everybody. In the, pre pandemic situation and a pandemic situation. So where these, interaction is not required, with the people. So thank you, for giving this opportunity and thanks for joining everyone conference 42 JavaScript, 2024. Thank you.
