Following are some examples of applications and services that can be offered with the Bourdex Telecom Versera Multimedia Messaging suite. Mobile to Mobile MMS

This is the most common person-to-person application, sending self-created MMS messages. Self-created content includes photo exchange, mobile postcards, greeting cards, etc.

A legacy SMS user can send an MMS message to an email address or an MMS capable phone using this feature. To do this, the legacy SMS user uses a code that corresponds to specific multimedia content in a multimedia store. Based on the code, a particular greeting card, clip or photo will be sent to an MMS user or email account.
For example, an SMS user would type “444 <jane@bourdex.com> birthday mother” on the SMS phone and send the message. The MMSc converts this code into a birthday greeting card for the user’s mother, based on the above typed code.

A valid MMS user can send an MMS message to an MMS capable phone using this feature. The MMS user uses a code that corresponds to specific multimedia content in a multimedia store. Based on the code, a particular greeting card, clip or photo will be sent to an MMS user or email account.
For example, an MMS user would type “444 <jane@bourdex.com> birthday mother” on the MMS capable phone and send the message. The MMSc converts this code into a birthday greeting card for the user’s mother, based on the above typed code.

The MMSc can send a URL to a legacy SMS user. The SMS user will be alerted that they have received an MMS message, identified by sender, content type and message size. The SMS user can retrieve the message via PC. If the notification exceeds 160 characters (the maximum size of an SMS message), the MMSc will send only the URL to the SMS user. The MMSc will store the actual multimedia message in the user’s network-based multimedia mailbox for later viewing.

The MMSc provides persistent, network-based storage for multimedia messages in a user’s multimedia mailbox (MMBox). The MMBox is a logical entity associated with the MMS Relay/Server where multimedia messages may be managed. An MMS user can access their MMBox using a web-based interface or a User Agent. The user can perform various operations, including deleting, viewing, uploading and forwarding multimedia messages in the MMBox. The user can also request the multimedia message be stored in their MMBox by sending the message to a special address. If the user does not request that the message be stored in their MMBox, the message is stored in transient storage. These network storage options are a convenient option because of memory constraints in MMS devices.

The MMS portal provides the ability to compose and send multimedia messages from an operator’s portal to any MMS capable mobile user. The MMS portal can be a link in the operator’s existing portal.
Applications such as Greeting Cards and Photo Album are incorporated as part of the basic package. A graphical user interface (GUI) assists the user in composing, adding text to and sending multimedia messages within the Greeting Cards or Photo Album applications. The applications can be selected from the existing databases or from the user’s PC hard disk. A greeting card database can be managed and maintained by an operator using the MMS portal. Individual MMS users can also manage and maintain a Photo Album database using the MMS portal.
