Outline Background What are MOAs? Why are MOAs? Platform & Application Layer of MITA Nokias Series 90 office solutions Example implementations of MOAs Conclusions

Background Mobile world challenge Consumers will use different types of devices to access different services through different network mediums Consumer interaction mode is through messaging, browsing and rich call Network environments Mobile networks, the Internet and Intranet Unified service networks Identity and Authentication

What are MOAs ? Mobile Office Applications: Standalone applications for organizing office data word, excel etc... Applications in which remote office data is accessed through mobile networks calendar, , contacts etc...

Why are MOAs ? Efficient time utilization while on the move Easy sharing of office data irrespective of being in different locations Anytime anywhere presence Provides the luxury of device independent access

Application Layer of MITA (2/2) Messaging: Message Data Model Messaging entities Messaging in MITA ( application) Rich Call: Application and display sharing during a call File transfer during a call Rich call in MITA (Phone application)

Nokia Series 90 office solutions (1/2) Nokia Series 90 The developer platform for series 90 Developer platform technologies Series 90 devices The platform features UI, Skin, Desktop, Telephony, messaging, Internet Browser, Personal Information Management Calendar, To-do, Contacts

Nokia Series 90 office solutions (2/2) Two options for creating resident applications Development environment is symbian 7.0 Using C++ Using Java Wireless messaging API, Mobile media API, bluetooth API are the set of available SDKs

Data Synchronization in MOAs(1/3) SyncML DS protocol is an open industry specification It is the common language based on XML Supports variety of transport protocols It is based on the server/client architecture Data Synchronization between different devices, regardless of vendor, OS and connection network

Data Synchronization in MOAs(2/3) SyncML server handles conflicting entries and updates data SyncML Server Remote Server

Data Synchronization in MOAs(3/3) Data synchronization web service enables setting of two versions of data Synchronization service is content- agnostic Example usages: calendar, contact book Provides benefits such as back up for critical data, sharing between different devices

Support for Content formats(1/2) Nokia 9210i Video formats: RA7, RA8, RV7 and RV8 supports SMTP, POP3, IMAP4 protocols Audio formats: WAV, AU, WVE Symbian Word Microsoft Excel: 2/3/4/5/7/97/98/2000 XLS, XLC

Support for Content formats(2/2) Microsoft PowerPoint: 3/4/7/97/98/2000 PPT, POT, PPS Microsoft Word: 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/97/98/2000 DOC Internet Hyper Text Markup Language: HTML, HTM Rich Text Format: RTF
