Immediate Content Adaptation

The iseemobility platform has been designed to provide fast content adaptation for the widest variety of mobile devices with little or no user intervention. The request to view an attachment in an email or the upload of a document to the iseemobility server, triggers an automated process for immediate conversion to structured and streamable format.

Efficient Bandwidth Utilization

iseemobility’s document and rich image content streaming significantly reduces bandwidth utilization by reducing large file sizes, while transcoding and streaming using an interactive content access with resolution on demand. When streaming a large document a small index file is initially delivered. This file provides a descriptor of the document and the means for the navigation of the document. For instance, if a ten-page document is sent by email, the mobile device will initially retrieve a small descriptor in the range of 5-10kB in size. This file includes details for document navigation such as Table of Contents and page thumbnails. If, what you are looking for happens to be on page five, for example, you can request that page only.

Documents with embedded images and other rich content have thumbnails replace the content within the document. Rich content is accessed from within the document, or through a table of contents or figures. If access to more image detail is required, regions of interest can be selected and zoomed in. This approach provides the user with access to details within any part of the image, but does not require the download of the entire image to the device.

Images, page views and slide shows are stored on the server in a high quality tiled format. When the mobile device requests the image, the server uses the device's profile to dynamically size, compress and adjust the number of colors to optimize the amount of data required to deliver the image.

Minimal File Size

The iseemedia adaptation engine's format provides significant reduction in the file size of text based and rich documents. In addition to the size reduction of the document itself, the streaming of the content alleviates the need to download large files to the mobile device. The implication of this approach, for all intents and purposes, alleviates any document, image or file size limitation.

Comprehensive Security

Security is implemented on a number of different levels related to the transport, content and encryption of messages. In addition to the traditional security approaches, iseemobility can be configured to maintain all content on the server, providing view access only. Many people have misplaced their phones or had them stolen. By storing the content behind the firewall and opening a door to view the content from a mobile device, iseemedia's technology makes the content much more secure. By simply removing access privileges, an administrator can secure the content, whether it is email attachments or corporate documents.

Advanced Content Management

The delivery of content to conform to a wide variety of mobile devices generally requires the creation of multiple versions of the same content, storage of the multiple versions and the maintenance of the relationships between the various versions. iseemobility's combination of adaptation to a single master format and dynamic device specific rendering removes the need for multiple versions and the need for the maintenance of a complex set of relationships. In a corporate environment where documents are dynamic and changing, the iseemedia approach can save hundreds of hours in document management and repurposing, and makes the availability of outdated documents almost impossible. Once the master document has been changed, all dynamically rendered versions are also up-to-date.

For content aggregators and publishers, the storage of single source content such as documents and images makes it quick and easy to add, remove and update content. iseemobility includes a content lifecycle management system, making the addition, editing and deletion of content into the system available through an administrative console.

Universal Client Viewer

Most document and rich media content solutions require proprietary viewers or applications. For example, you may have to install Microsoft Word, Excel, etc., as well as mobile PDF reader, an image viewer, etc. This is not only cumbersome, but takes up valuable memory on a mobile device. By pre-adapting all content to a single format, iseemedia requires one client application which can render and navigate all document and image content.
