Introduction
The embedded internet is very common in latest electronics devices. The
embedded web server used to be a hot topic since this technology can leverage
common information technology infrastructure, including modem, Ethernet, PPP
dial-up and web browser; there is no need to install any software on client
computers. A lot of consumer electronics have already installed with embedded
web servers, from router, switch, internet radio to NAS and IPTV. In the industrial
field device market, ARC predicts that over the next five years, IP/Ethernet will
dominate all field connections except for the final connection to the lowest level
sensors and actuators. Besides to tftp and telnet, embedded web server is the
most common technology used in both consumer and industrial electronics
devices, especially for the classic "head-less" embedded systems, which has
limited or no display at all.
This topic catches my attention again because I am building a cross-platform
Web GIS site with Google map API. This mash-up site is inspired from the Dash
GPS pilot running in US. The project allows exchanging the geographic information between web user, mobile phone user and GPS navigator
user. The information of POI, driving direction, traffic jam and geo-tagged advertisement will be collected and pushed to the audience in the
target locations. The new AJAX/JSON technologies used in Google Map, Yahoo Map and Virtual earth bring more attractive features and
experiences for end users. The GPS devices have powerful proces
