UUIA overview

Unified University Information Aggregation (UUIA) is a campus information service framework based on the WeChat ecosystem. We will help developers from various universities quickly build their own school's mobile campus information services and develop Users only need to write the information acquisition code for each information website of the school. UUIA is responsible for handling the complex interaction logic of WeChat and providing a client with a beautiful interface.

origin

UUIA originated from the developers of UUIA thinking about their own school’s online information service platform. We found that most school information systems have common problems:

• Information is scattered (Academic Affairs Office, library, all-in-one card, news, etc. belong to different websites)
• Not suitable for mobile devices (cannot get a good experience on mobile phones)
• No proactive push notifications (people look for information rather than information looking for people)
• The value of information has not been further explored (more things can be done with the information on campus)

Therefore, we used crawlers to develop a mobile information service platform for our school. Students can check their class schedules/grades/school card balances/book borrowing records, etc. on their mobile phones through WeChat service accounts or WeChat mini programs. Information, in addition, we also regularly push tomorrow's class schedule/insufficient balance reminders/borrowing expiration reminders, etc. to students through the WeChat service account.

Thoughts : When we developed our school’s campus information service, we found that simply modifying the code can quickly adapt to other schools’ information systems , so we decided to separate our service from a set of university information service frameworks, and other developers only You only need to write a small amount of back-end code according to the corresponding API call specifications, and you can quickly develop using the UUIA framework.

UUIA service framework

From this, we designed a framework that decouples data acquisition logic and front-end user interaction logic. Its schematic diagram is shown in the figure below.

UUIA developer community

We provide this framework and rely on the power of the open source community to build the UUIA developer community, which is another important component of UUIA.

We found that in the application scenario of university campuses, there are applications such as "lost and found", "second-hand transactions", and "on-campus communication community" that have the characteristics of "local applicability" and "high replicability", that is, these on-campus applications The users of the application are limited to one school, and a useful on-campus application can be quickly deployed to other schools. This is in line with UUIA's purpose of " helping developers quickly deploy university information services based on the WeChat ecosystem ."

Therefore, we build a UUIA developer community. Developers from various universities can open source practical and easy-to-use on-campus applications (such as lost and found, confession walls, etc.) that have nothing to do with specific data within the campus in the form of components, relying on UUIA's identity authentication. Provide user credential identification and provide deployment guides to developers in the community to help other developers deploy quickly.

Everyone for one, one for everyone is the core concept of the UUIA developer community.
