Network Software Platform Design for Wireless Real-World Integration Applications

The mobile Internet quickly penetrates the every-day life. After reaching the mobile multimedia stage, the real world integration is one of the next challenges in the mobile software frameworks. The author proposes an Internet-converged embedded web solution for the real world integration named DirectConnect in the analogy of the Live Connect in the Netscape Navigator. The author describes evaluation on five approaches for the enhanced real world integration and presents advantages of the minimum modification approach. The proposed approach is a browser-centric Internet-converged solution that enables the micro-browser on the mobile handsets to be an integration point of the real world integration. It uses the common Internet framework, and is adaptable to a wide range of web and real world integration. The scheme encapsulates the security issue in each object implementation.
