Design of SMIL browser functionality in mobile terminals

Abstract

SMIL is a markup language which enables us to describe multimedia contents. This paper proposes a design model of SMIL browser functionality for mobile terminals whose resources are limited. We introduce SMIL Component, which is based on attachable software architecture to a pre-installed generic web browser. This leads to reduce memory size that SMIL Component consumes and bring high adaptability of SMIL Component for various web browsers. We implement SMIL Component and evaluate RAM sizes and presentation delays. As a result, we found out that SMIL Component can be useful for MMS presentations on mobile terminals.

Synchronization modeling and its application for SMIL2.0 presentations

“…Chang's work can be used in semantic verification during paring stage, which is helpful in authoring process. Some other efforts were made for the design of SMIL2.0 player (Shin and Shin, 2002;Hieda et al, 2003). However, none of the above efforts provide an effective way of modeling temporal behavior of SMIL2.0 and propose an efficient data-retrieving mechanism as in this paper.…”
