e-SIM Rolls Out Cost-Effective MMI Solution 2.0 for Mobile Handsets
9/13/2004 - e-SIM Ltd. (OTCBB: ESIM.OB), a leading provider of mobile handset Man Machine Interface (MMI) solutions, announced the release of its new advanced MMI Solution version 2.0 software.
With its latest 2.0 release, e-SIM’s MMI Solution offers a low-cost alternative to high-end commercial operating systems. Requiring significantly lower memory and processing resources, e-SIM’s MMI Solution is easily portable to any platform, and provides a single solution for most handset tiers, from low to high-end feature phones, and for any communication protocol.
e-SIM provides platform and device manufacturers a complete end-to-end MMI software technology solution containing the essential components, tools, and services required to develop mobile handsets with superior MMIs quickly, cost-effectively, and at low risk.
e-SIM’s MMI Solution includes an innovative and completely customizable MMI framework, a reference application with data-driven menus, layouts, and graphics. Accompanying the MMI reference application are easy to use RapidPLUSTM development and customization tools. e-SIM’s MMI Solution also includes comprehensive documentation, training, and professional services to ensure project success.
e-SIM’s MMI Solution is pre-integrated with 3rd party applications, such as MMS clients, Mobile Internet Browsers, game engines, voice recognition engines, predictive text technologies, and camera drivers.
Several novel e-SIM UI concepts such as a context sensitive “Action Bar”, auto-zoom lists, auto-scroll marquee text expansion for messages and other long texts, cascading menus, and mixed-input forms are included in the MMI software application suite. These innovations improve usability and provide a sleek, professional look and feel to the application.
e-SIM’s MMI Version 2.0 reference application is easily customizable, modular, and scalable. The MMI Solution enables the creation of several handset models based on a single source, providing the infrastructure for easy product segmentation, scalability, and expandability.
The MMI is integrated with several leading wireless platforms such as Texas Instruments’ Calypso. The capability of integrating with a number of diverse platforms is based on e-SIM’s advanced architecture, which allows it to be easily ported to any new hardware and software environment.
RapidPLUSTM, e-SIM’s full-powered MMI development tool, and high-level, user-friendly, customization tools empower manufacturers as well as carriers to easily customize and brand their handsets. Infrastructure is provided for elements such as graphics and animations, menu hierarchies, multiple language text strings, and screen layouts for download over-the-air and dynamic installation into the handset.
e-SIM’s MMI Solution has the capacity to automatically create and run regression tests on the MMI prototype at the PC level before downloading the code to the target handset, thus saving 80% in testing time, identifying problems and bugs early, and resolving them easily.
More than 25 leading manufacturers are currently benefiting from e-SIM’s MMI Solution, and several million handsets on the market today enjoy the advantages of e-SIM’s advanced MMI technology.
