The Problem

Today’s Wap2-based handsets deliver a defined set of content to the customer base, through a standard UI which inherits technological limitations.

The Strategy

Delivering the same content through beeweeb’s OnDevicePortals fulfill the following targets, like the beePlayer has done for the music experience:

• Eliminate waiting time for the download of pages, data and images
• Verticalize the browser for the specific content for a revolutionary cross-platform user experience
• Play multimedia files (assets) within the application
• Multiply revenues for digital assets download

beeweeb’s OnDevicePortal solutions focus on multiplying sales of digital assets through a thorough optimization of the user-experience navigation based on:

• no waiting time;
• brand awareness during 100% of navigation time;
• optimization of cursor-driven UI;
• modular approach -> 100% handset compatibility.

Brick and PreCaching

beeweeb’s ODP is based on the mapping of content, in order to enable pre-caching according to the focused-content-coordinates in the content-matrix. Once the content has been mapped, it is second nature to use the matrix to pre-load content items to enable dynamic pre-caching and optimize navigation in order to never let the user see a blank screen while browsing content.

PlayBar

Playing local audio/video files or live streams and displaying album art is perfomed by the pop-up PlayBar, optimizing screen usage and delivering a compelling UserExperience.

The beeweeb approach

beeweeb’s OnDevicePortals deliver the same basic user experience to any 2.5G/3G handset thanks to its modular approach, relying on each handset’s capabilities. beeweeb’s OnDevicePortals are made up of the dynamic combination (depending on the phone’s capabilities) of the following Modules:

• Browsing and shopping module (Basic)
• Local file system access module
• Embedded audio streaming player module
• Embedded audio/video streaming player module
• Push-alerting mechanism
