About channels

In MOCHA, each function is provided in "channel" units.
You can "follow" each channel from the "Channels" tab. To use the features of each channel, you need to follow the channel.

Campus Spatial Statistics Channel

The device receives beacons installed on campus and sends your location to the server in order to aggregate the congestion status of classrooms and cafeterias.
When you join the Campus Spatial Statistics Channel, your location information will be anonymized and reflected on the congestion map. You can check your location history from the "location History" tab.

Classroom reservation service

You can make reservations for compatible classrooms. Currently, classrooms in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Information System in the faculty of Engineering are supported.
