Contact Management

Users can manage their contacts by adding new contacts, delete pre-existing contacts, editing contact information, blocking and unblocking contacts.

The movicha client has preset default groups named Family, Friends, and Other, which are unmodifieable. In addition to this, the users can add additional groups and can consequently edit and delete these user created groups. The users can expand and collapse these group lists.

Also, user id from the last session gets auto saved and shows up on the next login session. A user id can only be logged in at one particular location/platform on a given point in time. The latest login session taking precedence over the previous one.

Peer to Peer Versus Client Server-Based Applications

In the Peer to Peer networks, the resources(storage, bandwidth, computing power) are distributed among the clients. These resources increase as the clients increase. A client can share all its resources with other clients.

In Client server based application, the resources are shared among the clients. The resources decrease as the clients increase. A client can only share its demands with a server, not its resources.
