mobc3 empowers mobile content delivery of Hewlett-Packard EMT media platform

mobc3 has been chosen by Hewlett-Packard as the leading and standard mobile content suite to integrate with HP EMT media platform. 

Thanks to this implementation and by providing a customer-centric mobile content experience with mobc3, media companies can now break out their siloed offering and abstract the content from the device, so that it can be leveraged cross-channel: digital broadcastng, mobile, web, web TV, gaming consoles, internet-of-things and 3D immersive media.

Based on the cooperative research effort to which Neos participated in 2005-2007 and co-authored by Neos professionals Dario Melpignano, Luca Galli and Rinaldo Nani, the MobiLife book, published by Wiley, describes the architectural framework, the results and the conclusions of practical work during 2.5 years. It includes a defined service architecture/infrastructure with interoperable components on user interaction, context-awareness, privacy & trust, personalization, and services support; definitions of key enabling technologies; reference applications for a number of innovative applications/service concepts; and qualitative evaluations and field studies with more than 250 end-users in Italy and Finland. The architecture and technology solutions have been validated both in technical and non-technical dimensions. It  includes marketplace analysis with validations by more than 20 key experts in Finland, The Netherlands, U.K, Italy and Germany; and pioneering legal/regulatory analysis of the challenges related to new advanced application/service solutions with remarks on, e.g., personalization and Digital Rights Management.

Context and content, Neos at the ITU Mainz event

The emergence of "context as content" - with its business and regulatory challenges - has been the topic of the presentation given by Luca Galli at the ITU Mainz workshop on "The Regulatory Environment for Future Mobile Multimedia Services", hosted by the Germany Federal Network agency ("Bundesnetzagentur", see the nice nameplate with the imperial eagle). Some 60 experts participated in the workshop, representing a range of regulatory and policy-making agencies, mobile operators, service providers, academic institutions, private firms, and others.

Luca talked about a number of application and services developed in the MobiLife project. The main idea was about discussing how "context" and context-based solutions can be seen in the people's perspective by means of some simple questions like “What are you doing?” (to represent one's place and situation) or “How do you feel?” (talking about one's physical conditions) or “Would you like to join us?” (referring to possible social settings).

Business modelling and regulatory challenges have then been pointed out, touching issues like value networks evolution, content adaptation and copyright violation, privacy and trust changing attitudes, among others.

As a sidenote, we did enjoy also the "national party" feeling that was so high in Mainz - and all around Germany - for the World Cup (even at the airport... have a look at the dudes playing in one of the Flughafen Frankfurt public lounges).
