This book details the design and implementation of Short Messaging
Service (SMS) and MMS applications. The main aim of this book is to
provide SMS/MMS developers with the tools necessary to develop
applications which can send SMS/MMS messages to groups of mobile
devices. 1.The first section of this book presents a Java SMS
application which allows the storage of contacts and groups of
contacts. Thus the user of the application can customise his/her
own list of contact 'Individuals' and 'Groups' of contacts (Such
as: 'Family', 'Friends', 'Work Colleagues' etc). Upon selection of
Individual(s) and/or Group(s) a single message such as "how r u
all" can be sent to all their respective Mobile Stations (MS) by
clicking on the 'Add' and then 'Send' button. The simplicity and
ease of use of this application allows a diverse range of users
from an individual home user to corporate wide user base. All code
is presented and a working version is freely available for
download. 2.The middle section of this book presents a similar
group bulk SMS application which is web enabled. The application is
written using Active Server Pages and is purely web based. Again,
it allows the sending of messages to individuals and groups. For
the purpose of sending SMS in each scenario, the Simplewire Active
X Software Development Kit is used. All code is presented and a
working version is freely available for download. 3.In order for
"rich media" MMS messages to be sent and received, they must first
be transcoded into the MMS format. Essentially what happens is that
the content is tailored before it arrives at the mobile. This
tailoring process is called transcoding. Transcoding systems can
adapt video, images, audio and text to the individual constraints
of different devices. They summarise, translate and convert the
content into the MMS format. This section of the book presents a
transcoding framework, which enables various rich media files
stored on PC to be sent to MMS capable handsets. Transcoding is the
area that this project will focus on. A java application is
developed that allows a user to select multimedia content stored on
the computer and send it to a mobile. The application performs the
transcoding of the message content into MMS format and deploys the
message to the mobile.
