MHSS / mMMC - mobile Media Management & Control
What is mMMC?
The MHSS application significantly improves the end-user experience and provides the user with the ability to ‘surf’ downloaded and streaming content such as TV channels over a single connection as well as the ability to have interactive sessions via the single connection in a personalised package. Typical functions include:
- • TV remote functionality on the mobile handset for changing channels etc;
- • Channel hopping without disconnecting and reconnecting;
- • Dynamic updating of menu content without reloading the application;
- • Single stream connection thus no additional impact on mobile network capacity;
- • Interactive services such as ‘Vote Now’ via dynamic SMS while watching TV channels;
- • Interactive marketing push to handsets for new/additional services or content;
The next release of the application will provide mobile telephone users with the ability to receive multiple live TV streams to their handset via a single connection. This functionality will be expanded to include Audio-streaming and multi-user Video conferencing in later releases.
