Multimedia service creation platform for mobile experience sharing

The multimedia content created by users with their mobile phones is often shared with family and friends to recreate personal experiences. It is difficult for a single media sharing service to cover all variations on how people would like to present their experiences of different events; thus it is important to be able to easily create versions of these services. This paper presents in detail our platform implementation for enabling the creation of lightweight content- and context-aware mobile multimedia services. The platform supports state-of-the-art content management functionalities in order to enable easy creation of specialized multimedia services for various target groups and purposes. Our solution includes context metadata support for mobile multimedia content and creation of location-aware multimedia services. We have built example services on top of the platform using web-based technologies such as JavaScript, Media RSS feed and Java. The functionality of the platform has been tested in user evaluations with promising results.
