Today’s cinemas are experiencing a small but sensible decline in the number of bought tickets throughout these past few years. Because of that, it is rather usual for them to have certain movie projections that hadn't sold even one ticket resulting in an empty hall. Currently, each cinema has its own programme which shows, for a week in advance, the timetables for each location. The problem with these timetables is that they are put on the cinema’s website and the potential customer must be able to lookup the information he or she requires. Movie Bot project is intended to provide the design and implementation of a cinema reservation system whose purpose is to improve the user experience concerning cinemas and movies. Our customer wanted an application which will change the status quo by providing an intelligent bot which can be used to search for projections and reserve a seat. Supported by a well-designed database, all available movies and seats information are integrated together and can be accessed with ease using a single mobile application. It is a flexible application which takes into consideration the user’s preferences and location when providing results and suggestions.
Features
The application allows the user to:
Search for a certain movie and get the list of cinemas that display that movie
Search the IMDB database
Find the available places in the cinema and book the ones that he or she prefers
Receive suggestions for movies that could be of interest with respect to the personal tastes of available genres
See the history of his or her reservations
Chat with the bot to reserve a seat or query movies
Technologies
ASP.NET Web API
C#
Bot framework
Entity framework
Typescript
Cordova
Corky.js
Architecture overview
The application was developed for an Android OS but can be rebuilt for any other mobile OS. The project consists of the mobile application and backend servers which each have its own role. The Bot framework is used to expose an intelligent Bot developed in C#. The interaction is performed using the mobile application of the project or external Instant Messaging applications. The DirectLine is part of the system but was not implemented by the team, as it is an API offered from Microsoft to expose the Bot Service from Azure. The WebAPI is a centralized part of the system that handles movie recommendations, searches in the database and seat reservations. It is connected to the SQL database which stores all important data.
Architecture overview of MovieBot system
All code is hosted on GitHub and the servers were hosted on Azure. Additionally, the project had its build server used for continuous integration and isn’t a required part of the system.
