airplane seat images (LOPA)

[cevahirb]

Hi everyone,

I am developing mobile app(c#) using Windows CE and Windows mobile. (RFID tech)
I need to use airplane seat images (LOPA) to change seat color as RFID reader find tags in the plane. This process must work very fast. I attached a sample LOPA image for your review.

What kind of technology can I use to overcome this issue ?
could you recommend the best one for mobile app ?

Thank you in advance,

The main task here is the RFID codes themselves. The airline uses these codes primarily for life cycle processes (how old is the item, when does it next require a service, etc). You're assuming that part of that code will be the seat number on the plane - however, this may not be the case.

If there is a seating code in the RFID code, then the airline might not want you to access that information for security reasons. But if you're working for the airline for an internal application, then their technical staff should give you the information you need.

Thanks for your response,

The issue is not RFID and also I am working for airline company so that there is not any permission issues.
I attached the screen of our program for your review.
Each airplane has its image(LOPA) so we know seat numbers and layout of the seats.
Each seat has a life-jacket so our purpose is to find their expiration date. then show the result(red,green) visually on the image(LOPA) of the airplane

I am currently puting the image(LOPA) of the airplane into the windows form. then I created button for each seat and set the button location on the LOPA (not easy) . When the RFID program starts searching tags, I change the color of the button depends on condition. Actually it works now. but creating 400 buttons takes time when loading the windows form.

In my opinion, there must be a better solution (visually perfect, better speed etc)

any idea

That's an exceptionally cool project to work on. I apologise for misunderstanding, I had assumed you were attempting to create an app to help customers find their seat. Your app is way more impressive...

Since your main problem is one of software development/UI, I'd recommend asking this question in the Compact Framework section of TechNet:-
