I do contract work for a living, which could include writing a program such as this. However, I don’t do people’s homework for them. That just robs them of an education.
You have my full permission to implement this project in any way you please and to keep all the profits from your endeavor.
This has been an idea I have had for many decades. It is no longer such a hot one now we have the Internet for exchanging information.
BusTel is a way of rapidly full-duplex exchanging name/address/credit information during a voice call. This fits in with the "Common Phone" design contest (see BIX telecomm.tech/phone.co) which will implement the BusTel protocol in desk phones. You tap the heart/trust key to exchange names/addresses. You tap twice to exchange credit card info. You tap three times for direct debit exchange. This project has potential to generate big bucks. Basically it works by exchanging vCard packets full duplex in the middle of a voice call. There is an API for applications to extract the vCard information. The default version just displays it with a standard vCard viewer. have a device for tying two phones back to back simulating a telephone exchange that would be useful in debugging such a project.
The other form of BusTel is to exchange encrypted vCards over the Internet for shopping cart use. You and the vendor exchange information about each other.
