SECTION 1_______________________________________________________________________
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. (20)
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: (20)
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.
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. (15)
Intellectual Property (IP) refers to a legal concept that protects creations of the mind, such as inventions, designs, artistic works, and trade secrets. It grants exclusive rights to the creators or owners of these creations, allowing them to control and profit from their innovations. In the context of our coffee ordering mobile application prototype, IP applies to the original designs, code, and any unique features or functionalities that we develop.
Our prototype will consist of wireframes created using Figma. These wireframes represent the visual user interface design of the application and include the layout, buttons, icons, and other visual elements. While wireframes are not typically protected by copyright, they are important in demonstrating the overall look and feel of the application and can be considered as part of our IP.
To protect our IP, we will apply copyright to our prototype. Copyright is a form of IP protection that grants exclusive rights to the creators of original works, such as literary, artistic, musical, or software creations. In this case, our prototype falls under the category of software. By applying copyright, we can prevent others from copying, distributing, or modifying our prototype without our permission.
To apply copyright to our prototype, we need to ensure that it meets the requirements for copyright protection. These requirements include originality, which means that our prototype must be the result of our own creativity and not a copy or imitation of someone else's work. Additionally, our prototype must be in a fixed form, such as a tangible representation or a digital file.
By applying copyright, we will have the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, display, and perform our prototype. This means that others will not be able to copy or use our prototype without obtaining proper permission or a license from us. It allows us to protect our investment of time, effort, and creativity in developing the prototype and possibly monetize it through licensing or other commercialization opportunities.
In summary, intellectual property applies to our coffee ordering mobile application prototype, and we will apply copyright to protect our original designs and software. This ensures that we have the exclusive rights to control and profit from our creation while preventing others from infringing upon our IP without permission.
