VISION

The last time you attended a party, did you wonder how it would be like if you were in charge of the music? With a smart Party-Time system you will be able to do it: your house will be transformed into a plethora of music parties. The system's mission is to make the parties more successful and interactive by adapting the playlist to the guests, by letting them vote for their favorite type of music.

Our system will cover multiple party spaces, each playing a different type of music by interacting with the guests, such that there will be a personalized experience in each space. After leaving the party, the guests will have complete access to the party's playlist which will be provided by the system, so that they can find the songs they enjoyed the most and listen to them again.

See full list of components

Guests phone: After joining the wireless network, an iOS or Android device will be able to connect to the guest page of the system and choosing the preferred kind of music.
Server: A raspberry-based server for syncing the rooms and storing the music file. It's also demanded to store the guests preferences and interact with the PHILIPS HUE system. The information, such as votes and location, will be stored into an sqlite3 database. It's capable of syncing the client with the Playlist through wireless connection.
Client: Client based on raspberry pi or raspberry zero w, to receive ,from the server, the playlist that is already mixed for the guest's preference and play through the audio source.
Light system: Using PHILIPS HUE system, the server will assign a color to each kind of music available, and adjust them for every kind of music change. So that the rooms are color-tagged, in order to provide visual feedback to the users.
Audio system: Every audio capable system is compatible with the PartyTime ecosystem, using 3.5mm jack with no modification or GPIO interface to stream through an optic cable.

Software and use

Python: The main structure will be implemented in python.
Database: Sqlite 3 to handle the tables. The tables are divided into 3 different tables : one for the guests, one for the the playlist and finally one for the association between colors and the genre of the song.
