The evolution of mobile communications towards imaging will greatly increase the scope for new applications and services. In the area of multimedia in mobile phones, Sony Ericsson can show its vast experience in consumer electronics and entertainment – music, pictures and games – as well as its mobile technology leadership.
White Paper features of the product. Images can be shared phone to phone, with Bluetooth, across the room or between a phone and other paired devices such as PDAs, PCs or printers. For example, it would be possible to print a picture directly from the phone using a Bluetooth enabled printer. K700 By pressing the Pre-play icon on the phone desktop, you can, for example, go straight to a live list of Top Music Hits.
White Paper K700 Java™ 2 Micro Edition Bluetooth™ wireless technology Download extra content with Java, for example, new information- and entertainment-based applications. This gives users a chance to personalize the functions and features in their phones, and developers the opportunity to create new applicatons. Using built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, communication with other Bluetooth devices is supported via a radio link.
White Paper Setup wizard K700 supported by all major Web browsers. An XHTML page can be viewed in both the WAP browser and in any standard Web browser. All of the basic XHTML features are supported, including text, images, links, check boxes, radio buttons, text areas, headings, horizontal rules and lists. The setup wizard makes it possible for the user to quickly and easily prepare the phone for use.
White Paper K700 Connector cover Presence Presence information of other Wireless Village users is received and displayed to indicate their willingness to communicate. The user’s own presence information is also sent for others to view. If the user is interested in another person’s presence status, he or she can search for this person. If the person is found, the user may subscribe to his/her presence information. The presence information is displayed in a contact list.
White Paper K700 Technologies in detail Entertainment Media player channels. The AAC offers three different profiles to facilitate trade off between quality, memory and processing power requirements. They include: Main Profile (MP), Low Complexity (LC) and Scalable Sampling Rate (SSR). The media player supports different audio and video formats, streaming as well as download and playback. Music • AMR Adaptive Multi Rate. A medium quality compressed sound format.
White Paper sizes. A disadvantage is the lack of specific sound control. MIDI is ideal for polyphonic ringtones. K700 • Playback is paused if the user starts another application which requires the audio channels to be dedicated to it. • MP3 MP3 is the file extension for MPEG audio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals.
White Paper Sound Recorder K700 The media player supports download and playback of MPEG-4 and H.263 formats for viewing video clips in the phone. The sound recorder can record both voice memos and call conversations. Sound recorder saves recordings directly to memory. The size and length of recordings are limited by available storage space. Video clips may be downloaded from the Internet or copied from a connected PC.
White Paper decides to download and pay for the complete video. A memory check is automatically performed to make sure that his mobile phone has enough free memory. K700 User-created content (Web album) Sheila and Tom are on vacation. They want to show their friends how fantastic the beach is. They record a video clip and upload it to a Web album. Their friends can then stream or download the clip to their PC or mobile phone.
White Paper • GIF MIME media type K700 All these media are pointed out by MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) types. Imaging VGA camera VGA camera • QQVGA (160 x 120 pixels) • QVGA (320 x 240 pixels) • VGA (640 x 480 pixels With the integrated VGA camera, the user can take pictures and video clips and store them in the phone memory. The user can send them as an attachment in an e-mail or a picture message. The picture can also be sent via bluetooth, infrared or cable.
White Paper K700 Messaging My friends Sony Ericsson’s application - My friends - is an enhanced messaging facility that offers a user friendly and versatile way to quickly get in touch with contacts. The My friends application merges the Phonebook and messaging functionalities that we commonly find in phones. At a click you can access your list of contacts, and with another click you can choose how you want to communicate with them - via SMS, MMS, e-mail or chat.
White Paper K700 Viewing the status of contacts in My friends You can view your contact’s status and decide how you want to communicate with him or her. You may want to call or send an SMS, MMS, or e-mail, or join your friend in a chatroom. Access to the chatroom The My friends application supports creating chatrooms and inviting your friends (on your My friends list) to the chatroom. You can bookmark associates you would like to chat with.
White Paper That is why the key word to describe MMS content is rich. Complete with words, sounds and images, MMS content is endowed with the user’s ideas, feelings and personality. An MMS message can contain one or more of the following: K700 PIM communication with MMS By using MMS, it is easy to handle PIM (Personal Information Manager) information. The user can send and receive business cards (vCard), calendar entries such as appointments (vCal) and notes (text/plain).
White Paper K700 interacts with the application being run on the MMS-enabled terminal to provide various messaging services. WAP or http is used as the bearer of an MMS message between the MMS-C and the MMS client (application). The WAP Gateway is used for delivery and retrieval of messages. Information is read in the WAP browser. Architecture The MMS Centre (MMS-C) is comprised of the MMS Server, the MMS Proxy-Relay and the MMS Store.
White Paper K700 Connectivity Positioning The basic cost-efficient positioning method available in 2G networks relies on measuring round-trip time. In 2G it is called Cell-ID + TA (Timing in Advance). Positioning methods are already used to support location-based information services such as ©YellowPages, restaurant guides, traffic information, directions and friend finder applications. Typically WAP, SMS or voice has been used as delivery mechanisms.
White Paper K700 Bluetooth™ wireless technology Using Bluetooth wireless technology in K700 Bluetooth wireless technology is built-in. It has Bluetooth power class 2, using maximum 2 dBm radio link, which operates in the globally available 2.4 GHz radio frequency band, ensuring fast and secure communications up to a range of 10 metres. Note: In the few countries where the use of Bluetooth wireless technology is not allowed, the Bluetooth function will be disabled.
White Paper K700 folder under the File manager icon, the user can select the Remote screen option under More. The phone will then connect to a Bluetooth device that can receive images and when the user then selects View, the image is transferred to the remote screen and displayed. When the user then selects another image, that image is transferred to the remote screen and displayed. Audio Quality The phone uses an algorithm that repairs lost audio packets.

White Paper K700 Sony Ericsson is actively focusing on technology standardization for the DRM concept, and supports the ongoing standardization work and activities of the OMA (Open Mobile Alliance). Sony Ericsson is fully committed to open standard solutions in the mobile environment and is a principal driver of many open standard initiatives. This will ensure the interoperability of mobile terminals in the DRM area and also result in a strong, competitive DRM standard.
White Paper physical servers are involved. Sometimes transactions may take place between different companies’ servers. K700 The user navigates to the publishing server and selects the content, or rather a link to or description of the content. The content is then downloaded from the actual downloading server. The actual content may be put on one server, the downloading server. The content can be reached, for example, through references from one or many other servers, the publishing servers.
White Paper K700 Object exchange – ‘Send as’ The phone makes it possible to transfer objects via Bluetooth, infrared and messaging. This is presented to the user via ‘Send as’ commands in applications. Simply select an item such as a contact, select ‘Send as’ and select the method to be used for sending. Typical applications are to beam an appointment to other people, or to receive a new wallpaper.
White Paper K700 Java Java 2 Micro Edition Originally developed by Sun in 1991, Java is a programming language used to develop applications - utility programs, games, plug-ins etc. - for different hardware and software platforms. Users of Java-enabled devices can install new applications and games to make their devices more personal and adapt them to specific needs. • CLDC, Connected Limited Device Configuration. This configuration is aimed at devices such as mobile phones and pagers.
White Paper K700 Support Hand-held computers and mobile phones that support Java also need a Java interpreter to run the applications. Since the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) was not the optimal interpreter for devices with small memory capacity and slower processors, Sun developed K Virtual Machine (KVM). A KVM requires only 40-80 KB of memory and can run on processors with low clock frequency. KVM is only used for J2ME CLDC. PersonalJava relies on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
