Hi list, this message is a bit off topic - I'm writing a thesis on content adaptation and trying to figure out the major problems in content adaptation, primary in device capabilities recognition.
I suppose that this list is read both by service and application providers, so I hope that one will be able to comment my questions. The problem I'm trying to figure out is about obtaining device capabilities from IMEI. Useful 3GPP draft (after the meeting issued by Vodafone) describing the problematic is here: http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_sa/TSG_SA/TSGS_19/Docs/PDF/SP-030133.pdf My questions are as follows: - What is the common practice to collect and relate MSISDN with IMEI? Querying EIR and HLR seems the simplest way. - What are the sources to relate IMEI with the phone model (possibly including SVN - software version number)? As far as I figured out, GSM Association (http://www.gsmworld.com) members have an access to such database. Any members around? There is also one public, but too far from complete, database: http://www.nobbi.com/tacquerydb.htm. - What is the common practice to relate phone model with it's capabilities? Currently I know two ways: using UAprof (where sometimes buggy information is provided by the manufacturer), or using centralized and manually-corrected capabilities database, such as WURFL (http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/). - Is there any MMSC implementing MM5/MM6? What are the other "standard" ways to check device capabilities? This seems the most important before sending MMS indication (what is phone does not support MMS? See 3GPP document mentioned above). - Is there any (commercial or not) PPG taking into account device capabilities negotiation (send plain sms instead of push etc.)? Is the "Client Capabilities Query" used? If so, what are the ways to obtain device capabilites having MSISDN (or IP address) as the only information? - What are the (open source) tools which could take a challenge in converting new formats (such as video, vector graphics - SVG and others) available in MMS? I'm sure there are too many questions and even some of them are rhetoric ones, but I hope to receive any useful feedback. -- Dziugas _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@mbuni.org http://mbuni.org/mailman/listinfo/devel_mbuni.org
