RoloBox

RoloBox is my capstone project during my study in UWL, it has been moved offline after I completed my project presentation. If you would like to see the demo, go to Bilibili.

The project has been divided into three parts:

• rolobox-node
• rolobox-angular
• rolobox-flutter

This repository is the back end of RoloBox, written with NodeJS/express.

intro

RoloBox is an application that allows users to manage a list of contacts while supporting a photo-based matching feature so that users can upload images of their contacts and, more importantly, identify those contacts at a later time by taking a photo of a room or gathering with their phone. Once a person is labeled with contact information in a photo, they will later be recognized and automatically labeled when appearing in another photo.

functionalities

• log in, log out, and manage my contact list.
• store images of groups and individuals in such a way that they can be easily accessible while remaining secure.
• associate portrait images with contact information.
• take a picture of a group or individual and have all individuals automatically recognized or labeled as not being in my contact list.
• filter my contacts by gender, age range or distinguishing face features.
• see all photos related to a certain contact.
• edit my own contact information.
• other users as friends.
• messages to my friends directly in the app.
