We have developed a platform that simplifies the development and deployment of mobile applications and services.
Our platform can take any application running on our applications servers in it's native environment (Java, .Net, HTML, etc.) and stream it to the 3G handsets over a video call protocol.
In order to reach and interact with the media rich applications, all the user needs to do is make a standard video call.
Users make use of the phone’s primary purpose - dialing a number, making a video call.
By following audio (live or pre-recorded) and visual instructions and using the dial pad, users can immediately interact with applications and receive rich multi-media content.
The user experience can also start by answering an incoming video call - a compelling push option for service providers to initiating the process of content consumption.
Joliper's platform simplifies and overcomes many barriers common in creating mobile applications and enabling content consumption by mobile phone users.
In order to provide content and mobile applications, developers currently need to create WAP sites or develop, deploy, and support mobile clients, while ensuring that their sites and clients work on hundreds of different mobile handsets available. Using our platform, developers need to create only a single version. Moreover, because the applications run from centralized servers (similar to web sites), there is no need for deployment and complex client upgrades.
As for users, they are no longer required to surf the mobile web by opening a browser and entering a URL or following a link to download and install applications on their phones. Both procedures not everyone is familiar with and clearly more complex than making a call.
Users can get content and operate applications by making a call - the most intuitive and simple feature of a phone.
Developers can use existing software, in their desired development environment (Java/.NET/HTML/etc.) to create a complimentary “mobilization option” with modest investment.
Using our platform increases high productivity as there is no need for multi-platform handset support - the standard for Video Calls is already supported by 3G phones!
In addition to easy service distribution (just let users know the number to call) implementing changes and modifications is both simple and centralized.
Joliper enables new revenue streams for content and applications owners who can now use air-time and premium call tariffs for billing of application usage.
There’s more… since video calls are regulated differently than IP connections, call-in numbers for services using your service cannot be blocked by the mobile operators. This is a well known issue in many countries as operators tend to “guard their gardens”.
Content and service providers who have existing Internet solutions and mobile service providers who wish to expand their reach for mobile users.
The display of existing applications needs to be modified to fit the video call screen size, and user interactions need to be mapped to the phone keypad.
We will take care of handling the phone call, transferring the application's display and audio to the mobile device, receiving the keypad key press events generated by the user and transferring them to your application. We'll also take care of application hosting and billing.
If your application happens to be a J2ME midlet, we can probably run your application on our servers with only minor modifications to support our custom profile.
If the service is written in HTML, all that is required is to adjust the display to the video call size.
With these small modifications the application will be "mobilized" and available by video call to any existing and future 3G handset.
No. Our solution is complimentary and is not intended to replace other means for reaching mobile users.
It is however considered to address less tech-savvy oriented markets such as the older (>35) population of cell phone users, which are increasingly more difficult to penetrate using other means.
Yes, on all 3G phones that support standard video calls.
Since user interaction is carried over a video call, we enable new revenue streams using air-time and premium call tariffs for billing of data applications.
