JJOO en Directo – Londres 2012

You are sitting in a crowded pub, the pint is warm, and everyone is staring at a tiny television mounted in the corner. The stadium is 2,000 kilometers away. You need the starting list for the 100m final, but your browser is loading a spinning wheel of death. You don’t need a newspaper tomorrow; you need the exact live timing right now. JJOO en Directo – Londres 2012 is the official, dedicated mobile client from RTVE that turns your device into a portable broadcast center, stripping away the noise of a general news app and delivering only the raw data stream of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Core Tools and Data Feeds

This application is engineered for speed and specificity, bypassing generic news feeds to offer a direct line to the competition. The interface is built around a live ticker and a structured database of the event.

• Live Results Ticker and Medal Table
  A continuously updating stream displays the exact time, competitor, and result for every event currently in session. The medal table is recalculated automatically, ranking nations by gold, silver, and bronze totals without requiring a manual page refresh.

• Structured Event Calendar with Filters
  The complete two-week schedule is broken down by sport, date, and specific round (e.g., "Heats," "Semifinals," "Final"). Users can filter by discipline or favorite specific events to create a personalized watchlist, ensuring no key competition is missed.

• Detailed Athlete and Team Profiles
  Each entry in the competition database links to a dedicated profile card. These cards contain biographical data, the event schedule for that specific athlete or team, and a historical record of their results across the London games.

Key Operational Advantages

The application prioritizes low-latency data delivery and battery efficiency, essential for a mobile device used throughout a long day of competition.

• Push Notification Alerts for Key Moments
  The app sends real-time alerts for user-defined triggers: the start of a favorite event, the breaking of a world record, or the awarding of a medal in a specific sport. Notifications are text-based and do not trigger video streams, preserving data usage.

• Optimized Offline Mode for Schedule Review
  The full event schedule and athlete database are cached upon initial load. Users can browse the day's timetable, check venue locations, and review competitor lists without an active internet connection. Live results and the medal table require a data connection to update.

• Minimalist, High-Contrast Interface
  The user interface uses a dark theme with high-contrast text to improve readability under direct sunlight, a common scenario for spectators at outdoor venues. Navigation is tab-based and avoids nested menus, allowing for one-tap switching between the medal table, calendar, and live ticker.
