Abstract

Methods for the deployment of an image servicing platform over a mobile wireless network ate described. A mobile multimedia service controller (MMSC) includes a video gateway that is capable of transcoding among different video formats supported by an imaging service platform. The MMSC can be connected over a network to a download server that provides updates to a transcoder application and a video image application.

Claims

1. A method of deploying an imaging service platform comprising the steps of:

providing a mobile video imaging application on a download server connected to a network;

signaling a mobile wireless device connected to the network that the mobile video imaging application is available for deployment; and

deploying the mobile video imaging application over the network from the download server to the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is a video enabled telephone.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the video enabled telephone communicates with the network wirelessly.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein mobile device is a digital monitoring camera.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the camera communicates with the network wirelessly.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of signaling a mobile wireless device comprises signaling a user of the device that the mobile video imaging application is available to be downloaded to the mobile wireless device.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of signaling a mobile wireless device comprises signaling only the device and not a user of the device.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of installing the deployed mobile video imaging application on the mobile wireless device.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising the step of configuring the installed mobile video imaging application on the mobile wireless device.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of sending a signal from the mobile wireless device to the network that the deployment is complete.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile video imaging includes a wavelet-based imaging application.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile video imaging includes a revision to a mobile video imaging application.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile video imaging includes a codec.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile video imaging includes a revision to a codec.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile video imaging includes an encoder.

16. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile video imaging includes a revision to an encoder.

17. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile video imaging includes a decoder.

18. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile video imaging includes a revision to a decoder.
