MExE-> Example Services |
|
|
Once
they have been downloaded, these MExE services may then be configured, personalized
and executed on the MExE handset by the user. A MExE handset may
support a diverse range of services, providing a dynamic and evolutionary set of
facilities to users. The support of
this unlimited range of new services, will convert a mobile handset from being a
device which simply makes and receives calls and messages, into a
multifunctional leisure and business device. An analogy may be made with a personal computer, where the user can install and configure any type of application that he so chooses, establish multimedia call sessions, and convert the laptop into a multi-faceted device (e.g. slideshow presenter, videobox, music jukebox, arcade games machine, protocol analyser, e-mail, messaging and information server etc.). In fact, MExE may simply |
|
|
be considered to be similar to a small computer supporting wireless
telecommunications capabilities. Manufacturers
are expected to produce MExE devices with different levels of resources, memory
and processing power to exploit the growing number of applications and market
niches. The
list of possible services that may be supported by a MExE client is virtually
unlimited, and the following are example services that could be supported by a
MExE client. Applications Applications
may be downloaded and installed on the MExE client to provide a wide
range of standalone services. The
user downloads and installs the software into the MExE client, configuring and
installing it as required. Examples of such applications are phonebooks, diaries,
planners providing similar functionality to current popular handheld PDA
devices. Likewise, games may also
be downloaded and installed providing similar functionality to current popular
handheld games devices and other entertainment and leisure services. Additionally,
interactive working with other devices and servers (i.e. on-line gaming,
gambling, messaging etc.) could also be generically supported. Browsers Applications
may be downloaded and installed on the MExE client to support browser
functionality already experienced by many users today with personal computers.
Examples of this are internet and e-mail browsers.
Web
browsing Just
like the internet browser on a personal computer at home or in the office, the
user is able to access the internet/intranet.
Similar to accessing the internet via a personal computer, the user is
able to surf the web viewing pages, images, animation and download content using
standard internet HTTP and HTML protocols.
By interaction with the installed web browser, the user is also able to
customise his web browser to present the internet/intranet to the user in his
accustomed way. E-mail A
user can convert his MExE client into an e-mail handler by downloading and
installing an e-mail browser. Working the same way as an e-mail browser on his desk bound personal computer, the user is able to send and receive messages on the move. As with existing personal computer implementations e-mails with audio, visual and textual attachments may be exchanged with an e-mail server, using the standard e-mail SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4 protocols. Directly supported by the e-mail browser on the MExE client, the user may personalise his e-mail service and manage e-mails on remote e-mail servers. Players Players
are a specialized type of application which the user may install on the MExE
client. These players enable
content to presented to the user in a specific manner, depending on the content
format. Audio and video players are
examples of such specialized applications. Music
players A
MExE client may also be used by the user as a portable music player by
downloading and installing a music player application. Once
the music player application is installed, the user is then able to download
music content using popular music formats available from the internet or third
party servers. Similar
to the player applications already available on the internet and personal
computers today, the user may be able to play popular music formats like MP3.
Further, specialized music content may also be played by downloading and
installing the appropriate compliant player. By
downloading and installing a music player, the user is able to obtain
functionality from the MExE client similar to current popular handheld music devices. Video
players Similar
to the music player, a MExE client may also be used by the user as a portable
video player by downloading and installing an appropriate video player
application.
