Real-Time Information Aggregator: Visualizing SMS and MMS Messages System

Mobile messaging is evolving beyond SMS text messaging with the introduction of MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). In the past, such a scheme is used to peer-to-peer communication. Messages are generally displayed on handset with a limited-sized screen. However, such a visualizing process is not suitable to broadcast real-time SMS/MMS messages to a crowd of people in public. To facilitate the instancy and publicity, we combined with Java and Web Services technologies to develop the Visualizing SMS and MMS Messages System (VSMMS). VSMMS realizes the concept of integrating SMS and MMS messages from GSM/GPRS onto a remote display agent. The said agent exhibits messages targeting at a specific service ID on a larger display device such as PDP (Plasma Display Panel).
