Your team has been asked to design the prototype (wireframes) for a coffee ordering mobile
application that has the following features:
A user should be able to log in with a username, password, GitHub, or Google and should be
directed to a screen that contains images of at least five different types of coffee.
A user should be able to click on an image and be taken to a new screen that allows the user to
order the coffee by displaying the price of the coffee and asking for:
o The delivery address.
o The delivery date.
o A payment method on a payment gateway.
Finally, the app should display an “Order complete” screen confirming the order details.
Research the Apache and MIT licensing modules and decide on a Software License for your
potential software.
1. You are required to work in a group and plan group tasks to complete this project. A part of
task‐based group work is how to organise yourselves. You will use Azure boards for this.
Azure boards allows you to create and assign and track tasks per group member. Break this
application prototype into smaller tasks. Create boards for these tasks, assign users and start
tracking. You will need to submit:
Wireframes;
Screenshots of your original board with the tasks assigned;
Screenshots of status updates and the completion of tasks;
Screenshots of your final boards when the tasks are complete.
2. You will make use of Figma to design this prototype. Figma allows you to create beautiful wireframes (User Interfaces) and take a potential client through the functionality of the app
without the need for code. Make use of Figma to create the application specified above.
Provide a link to your wireframes and Azure Boards.
3. It is important to consider the copyright and licensing of your artefacts and software. Write a short report detailing the following (±400 words):
What Intellectual Property is, and how it applies to your prototype.
The type of copyright you will apply to this prototype.
Intellectual Property (IP) refers to the legal rights that protect creations of the mind, such as inventions, artistic works, designs, symbols, and brand names. These rights are essential for ensuring that creators and innovators have the ability to protect and control their creations, which encourages further innovation and creativity.
In the context of our coffee ordering mobile application prototype, IP applies to various elements of the design and functionality. This includes the visual design of the user interface, the codebase, and any original logos or brand names associated with the application.
To protect our prototype, we will apply copyright, which is a type of IP right that gives the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work. Copyright automatically applies to any original work of authorship as soon as it is fixed in a tangible form, such as a wireframe design or a block of code.
As the creators of the coffee ordering mobile application prototype, we will hold the copyright to the wireframes and design elements created using Figma. This means that we have the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and display the wireframes.
To enforce and protect our copyright, we may choose to license our prototype under a specific software license. After researching the Apache and MIT licensing modules, we have decided to apply the MIT License to our potential software.
The MIT License is a permissive open-source license that allows others to use, modify, distribute, and sublicense the software while preserving the copyright notice and liability disclaimer. It is a popular choice for open-source projects as it gives users flexibility in using and modifying the software.
By applying the MIT License to our coffee ordering mobile application prototype, we are allowing others to build upon our work, contributing to the open-source community while still maintaining our copyright and protecting our intellectual property.
In conclusion, intellectual property is crucial in protecting our coffee ordering mobile application prototype, and copyright is the type of IP right we will apply. By licensing our prototype under the MIT License, we are promoting collaboration and innovation while retaining our copyright and protecting our intellectual property rights.
