Workflow Diagram

Biometrics: 

Biometrics Automatic identification or verification of an individual or a claimed identity by using certain physiological or behavioural traits associated with the person (Jain and Ross, 2004). Use of high-resolution CCD scanners.

Artificial Intelligence: 

Artificial Intelligence Defined as computers doing tasks that would be considered to require intelligence if the tasks were performed by humans (McCorduck, 1980). Identifying prominent palm lines Generating character traits for features identified

Data Mining: 

Addresses the question of how best to use historical data to discover general regularities and improve the process of making decisions (Mitchell, 1999) Aggregate results and bio-data of clients Match clients based on personal preferences Data Mining

Assumptions: 

Western palmistry Financial & Technological Assistance Available All information found is deemed to be reliable and credible Assumptions

Slide14: 

System Deployment 1. Personal Computer $2,000 (Biometrics) 2. Professional Scanner $2,000 (Biometrics) 3. Entry-Level Application Server $10,000 (AI) 4. Entry-Level Database Server $10,000 (Data Mining) Total cost of hardware < S$30,000. Additional biometrics subsystem = $4,000 Additional servers using AI or Data mining = $10,000 Development C0sts

Slide15: 

System Development Costs Application development costs form the bulk of the total cost of development. 1. Programmers (3X) $9,000/mth 2. Consultant (2X) $10,000/mth 3. Palmistry Expert (1X) $5,000/mth 4. Testers (mainly volunteers) $1,000/mth $25,000/mth Total Development Cost (3 months): $75,000 System Maintenance 1/5 of development fee = $15,000 annually

Business Strategy: 

Marketing Target users  Above 21 seeking Dating partner Target (Licensed) Partners  Match-making Agencies and SDU Core Competency High accuracy of match through relevant components Annual updating to sustain competitive advantage First-Mover Advantage: Brand Loyalty and Technological Leadership Disadvantage : Uncertainty of customers’ requirement  Reduced by conducting survey : High R&D Costs  Venture Capitalist and Licensing Business Strategy

Competing Technologies: 

Competing Technologies Online Chat Rooms and Forums Convenient and saves time Information may not be reliable Online Dating Service Access to database of participants Choice according to preference Information may not be reliable

Technological Limitations: 

Technological Limitations Unclear Palm Prints Changing Palm Prints Maintenance of the TRO

Social and Business Impacts:

Result Analysis: 

Result Analysis Personality: You have a rather complex, sensitive personality that is especially vulnerable to outside influences and worries You are an intellectual and sociable person. You are often restless and needs mental stimulation As the distance between your head line and life line is quite narrow, it shows that you have a rather cautious, and sometimes fearful, nature, uninterested in risk-taking endeavours. You are not as warm-hearted and do not easily display affection in relationships. You do not have a jealous nature. Relationships The lines of attachment on your palm indicate you have affairs that are not deep commitments. You have an expansive and giving nature in love In relationships, you’ll look for mental rapport instead of physical appearance and intimacy Print Results Next
