expensive) by 7650 built-in image uploader (to photo-album servers

as Club Nokia) you have to be registered at Nokia Club only JPEG image format is supported

By custom native Symbian client (Java clients cannot access the media images as 7650 does not support MMAPI)

Note: is not possible to upload an image to a given location at the Web server, according given access rights.

MOBIMAGUP project goal

to provide Nokia 7650 users with facilities to upload images to corporative Web sites, i.e., to replace image content inside the HTML pages of a Web site by their own images taken by the built-in camera, according image access policy defined by the system administrator through Web access

Business scenario Users are registered on the MOBIMAGUP server

by an Web admin Every user receives rights to upload (and thus –

to replace) some of the images of the corporative site

Users take pictures with Nokia 7650 Users connect to the MOBIMAGUP uploader

server and: do authorization select a mobile local image for the upload to the

MOBIMAGUP image server select which remote image (or images) to be replaced

on the Web site (by means of aliases defined by the administrator)

Business scenario (2) After successful image upload the MOBIMAGUP

image server does the following: checks if the uploaded image has correct resolution,

etc. if needed, it reformats and resizes the newly uploaded

image backups the current image shown in the Web site replaces the newly uploaded image with the image on

the Web site writes the event into the log system

Image aliases Used for naming the image or set of images which are to

be replace at the mobile image upload. An alias can describe:

a single image residing at the Web site a set of correlated images residing at the Web site and having the

same origin, e.g. a picture and its two different thumbnails (in different sizes).

Alias definition includes: Image path (e.g. c:/programs/apache/web_site/images/), Image name Image format (such as JPG, GIF, TIFF, etc.) Image resolution (for the Nokia 7650 phone, the maximal

resolution is 640x480 – thus, the uploaded image can be resized to a smaller resolution or left with its original resolution)

The server application is written in Java and thus, is portable among different platforms;

Easy installation and maintenance thanks to the SQL database build-in into the application;

Flexible administration.
