MercuryXMS MM1 SDK
Description: The MercuryXMS MM1 SDK is a lightweight component to give you the flexibility of sending and receiving MMS messages from any Windows based terminal. Simply attach a GPRS Modem or connect your GPRS Modem-enabled mobile phone to your PC and your applications can start sending and receiving MMS messages quickly and easily.
Configuring the MercuryXMS MM1 SDK is as simple as configuring your mobile phone. Simply specify the GPRS Access Point Name (APN), MMSC and WAP Gateway and the component is ready to start delivering messages.
You can use a GPRS Modem connected via USB or serial port. You can even use a PCMCIA WiFi/GPRS combo card such as the Nokia D211. Alternatively you can use a mobile phone connected via infra-red, cable or BlueTooth. Many of the latest handsets on the market today can act as a GPRS modem to give your PC internet connectivity. This same GPRS modem capability acts as the conduit for the MercuryXMS MM1 SDK to deliver MMS messages.
The MercuryXMS MM1 SDK implements a complete WSP and WS-HTTP stack to a mobile phone style interface to the network. The MercuryXMS MM1 SDK bypasses problems that some customers have with MMS Notifications due to firewall issues of their local operators, but with the MercuryXMS MM1 SDK your applications can send messages as easily as a mobile phone.
Connection management is automatically handled by the MercuryXMS MM1 SDK - existing connections can be hooked into as well as new connections created. Multiple connections can also be created for enhanced throughput.
The MercuryXMS MM1 SDK is an add-on for the MercuryXMS MMS SDK to provide additional message delivery capabilities.

MercuryXMS MMS SDK
Description: The MercuryXMS MMS SDK brings new opportunities to developers, with a set of MMS messaging creation tools that will quickly bring media rich MMS applications to market. With comprehensive code samples, documentation and tutorials, the MercuryXMS MMS SDK is a powerful toolkit for delivering text, video, audio and picture MMS messages.
With a comprehensive array of image encoding modules, the MercuryXMS MMS SDK accelerates time-to-market, and reduces costs and development efforts for server based messaging applications and web based messaging services.
Side-step the complexities of creating MMS binary files with an elegant yet powerful object model that automatically creates industry compliant .MMS files for delivery to handsets through either MMS Notifications or MMS protocols such as MM1, MM3 or MM7.
Full message composition capability is included with provision to define Subject, Sender, phone and email recipients (to, cc, bcc), Message Class, Priority, Message ID, Transaction ID, automatic transaction ID processing, Expiry Date, Delivery Date, Message Date, Request Delivery Confirmation, Request Read Confirmation - with the ability to add custom MMS message headers.
The MercuryXMS MMS SDK supports the composition of messages with any type of media: Pictures (JPG, GIF, BMP, WBMP, PNG, TIFF); Video (3GPP with H.263 or MPEG-4 encoding); Audio (AMR, WAV); and text (Unicode support). Developers can simply attach existing media content or they can use the powerful encoding features that come with the MMS SDK or the Mobile Video & Audio SDK.
Sending pictures is a breeze, with an image processing library that handles all your imaging requirements for mobile messaging. With support for JPG, GIF, BMP, WBMP, PNG and TIFF images, you can load any type of existing image file and manipulate it for delivery and final display on the target handset. Images can be resized using one of several resizing algorithms to ensure high quality, smooth images on the target handset. Modify your images on the fly with graphics functions such as rotate, flip, and resize. Adjust the brightness or contrast of your images. A powerful image overlay capability lets you overlay other images onto the picture to provide real time visual watermarking. You can even specify a level of transparency to achieve any effect required. Images can be overlaid at a user-defined X/Y location, or automatically positioned using the smart layout engine. Overlay smooth text directly onto images to label or timestamp your images with a customizable font and font size, as well as applying bold/italic/underline formatting. You can even add borders to your images to give them a cleaner, more professional look.
The MercuryXMS MMS SDK comes with a complete animated GIF engine - you can create animated GIFs on the fly or you can extract image frame sets from existing animated GIFs. Images can be loaded from a folder, with animated GIF properties configurable through code such as frame loop time, repeat, etc. These animated GIFs can be immediately attached and delivered inside an MMS message.
The MercuryXMS MMS SDK has several Digital Rights Management (DRM) features to help you protect the content you send to your customers and help you to protect your copyrighted content. Picture, video and audio content can be 'forward locked' using either the Forward Lock scheme from OMA, Nokia or Ericsson. When a user receives forward-locked content within their message, they can view the file, but cannot save or forward it to another user.
Using the Mobile Video & Audio SDK, Media can be watermarked by embedding custom data into the MMS message to flag it as your own content. This watermarking data can be extracted out with the SDK at a later point to determine a point of origin of the media.
The MercuryXMS MMS SDK supports the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) by providing programmatic control of slides, regions, layouts, transitions and any other attribute of a SMIL presentation.
MMS messages can contain multiple slides, with optional transitions between slides. The SMIL capabilities of the MercuryXMS MMS SDK allow you to precisely layout your content within the MMS message, allocating regions for video, images and text.
Complex timing can be used to display the message, with the contents being displayed at the points in time that you specify. For example, you can create a slide show that displays the first slide for 10 seconds, and the subsequent 5 slides for 1 second each, all while playing a background audio track.
Automatically format image content for the target devices. MercuryXMS will perform the necessary lookups in its massive device database and return an instance to a device class that can be used to query the capabilities of a device; find out its screen size, image capability, video capability, audio capabilities, supported content types, maximum message size and much more. Once the device is found, MercuryXMS can resize the image for the target handset and convert it to an image format supported by the phone. For example, you can load a 640x480 BMP image and deliver it to a Samsung SGH-E100 - the image will automatically be resized to 128x128 and converted to JPEG.

MercuryXMS SMS SDK
Description: The MercuryXMS Smart Messaging® SDK is a lightweight COM/ATL DLL for wireless developers building content for SMS Text Messaging devices. The Toolkit provides a rich set of functions to create the PDU (Protocol Description Unit) strings for all types of rich media messages to interact with channels such as GSM/CDMA Modems, direct SMSC connections, and cellphone-cable connections.
This relieves the developer from dealing with issues like octet creation and ordering, and the complexities of working with the PDU protocol. Content types include Text Messages, Flash Messages, Picture Messages, Operator Logos, CLI Icons, Ringtones, Downloadable Profiles, vCards and vCalendars. Complete encoding (for send) and decoding (for receive) functions are provided. Also supported is multi-part messages, Unicode, auto-recoverability, cache support for decoding, and much more.
When encoding a message, the SDK generates a collection of PDU Objects which can be enumerated for their payload and octet length for immediately delivery through a GSM Device. Alternatively, you can use the UserData and UserDataHeader parts of the message to deliver it through an Internet gateway (details depends on the gateways implementation). With Picture Messages, Downloadable Profiles, and Multipart messages, these PDUs can become extremely complex to manually create. The SDK relieves the developer of all issues regarding the PDU protocol – it returns all PDU strings and their lengths so they can be easily transmitted via a GSM device. The SDK can also receive and decode PDU strings to give users bitmaps, RTTTL code, and much more. The SDK can handle receiving the PDUs in any order and will notify the developer when the complete message is received. The component can even recover itself if the containing application crashes or is shut down. Sample code is included for Visual Basic, Visual C++, Visual Basic.NET and C#.NET. Integration with .NET is done through the COM Interop layer. Note that the SDK does not actually handle the communications (serial, TCP/IP, etc) with the GSM device - it only manages the translation of the PDU strings. However, some basic sample code is provided to communicate with the serial communications port.
