10 Service Interaction

22.2333GPPRelease 17Stage 1Transparent end-to-end packet-switched streaming serviceTS

– The PSS shall define a common file format (common to all download mechanisms) for easy service interaction with other multimedia delivery services defined in 3GPP (e.g. MMS).

– It shall be possible for the PSS to interact with the MMS and other 3GPP multimedia delivery services. The interfaces and protocols used between the PSS and other 3GPP multimedia delivery services shall be standardized.

Note : Service interaction with MMS is especially important because there are application scenarios where media delivery via a streaming service could be replaced by media delivery via MMS and vice versa.

– The PSS shall define a server file format to provide easy interoperability between Content Creators and Service Providers.

PSS Examples

Some domains may benefit from the convenient, ubiquitous and more reachable mobile device. A second challenge for operators and service providers is to utilise the ‘mobile’ effect for providing value-added services. We believe successful wireless data services will exploit the unique mobile characteristics. A non-exhaustive list of these mobile service characteristics can be presented as follows:

 Content everywhere: Locally interactive content and remote interaction (back-channels) in relation to interactive streamed media, including rewind/pause functions will define the key features for providing attractive and friendly contents for distance learning applications and other information services (news, financial, etc). Scanning headlines of daily newspapers is already about to become a popular ‘waiting time’ activity. In the learning context, one may imagine that a student will be able to select on his portal page the school section from which he will be able to view a list of classes that will take place and to preview current live lectures, required readings, etc.

 Lifestyle facilitators: When discovering a tourism site one may want access to leisure and travel information (e.g., flight deals, package holidays, quality hotels, fun activities, etc). During weekend outings and holidays, a common use case will be the following: one uses the location finder to find the nearest shop where he can find the desired object at the desired price, a navigation guide helps him to determine how he will get to the shop or store.

 Entertainment services: Gaming is already being touted as the biggest generator of minutes of use for interactive cellular services in Asia and Europe. Features such as streamed 2D graphics, 3D objects, complex animations and multi-user technologies will attract more subscribers by allowing richer experiences with more fancy navigation schemes. As an example of future scenario, when online-games will become very popular, 3D-graphics of the new multimedia mobile phones allow a bunch of fancy games. Players can join multi-user games, some use a virtual location as well as the real location in a funny interactive way

This set of multimedia applications should be foreseen for the Release 5 and the future releases.
