Media-Push Technology in Multimedia Mobile Environment

Abstract

The usage of mobile phones has rapidly increased in the recent years. As the result of this, many companies have appeared at the markets that propose various services for mobile communication. Therefore, the customer's choice of the telephone provider depends both on the cost policy and the proposed services of the companies. In our work, innovative services for providers are introduced. They implement both centralized and decentralized control of mobile phones by having access to the kernel of the operating system running on the mobile phone. The delivery of multimedia contents to the mobile device can be done using one of the following options: direct communication between two mobile phones or indirect communication between two mobile phones via a server providing the multimedia content. This leads to an IP-based distributed multimedia mobile system in local and global areas. Our research in this field shows that mobile devices are comparable to any computer in the network that gives opportunity to download multimedia information. Our demonstration with client and server software will show the functional features of the developed system.
