14.1 OracleAS Wireless Foundation Services
The Foundation Services in OracleAS Wireless provide a library of key
functions and capabilities needed in the development and deployment
of mobile applications. Services are accessed through APIs provided
with the services. The Foundation Services fall into a number of
categories: location-based, alert, content syndication, provisioning,
personalization, synchronization, analytic, and commerce. The
following subsections briefly describe each service.
14.1.1 Location-Based Services
Location-based services allow mobile applications to be
location-aware. For example, you might want to build an application
that notifies you when a parcel delivery is within a mile of its
destination. Here are the services that can build such an
application:Location framework
These services consist of a set of Java APIs, JSP Tag libraries, and
Web Services interfaces for geocoding, reverse geocoding, mobile
positioning mapping, routing, and business directory services.
Static and dynamic location detection
These services enable the input of location manually, from an
application, or from a positioning system such as a GPS.
Privacy management
These services enable or disable the determination of location by
others, either permanently or for certain defined time frames
Functionality in OracleAS Wireless location-based services typically
is implemented through an external provider. OracleAS Wireless
includes prebuilt drivers needed to leverage providers of mapping,
routing, and positioning solutions. Examples of solutions providers
for such location-based services include InfoUSA, MapInfo, MapQuest,
Ericsson, and Nokia.
14.1.2 Alert Services
Alert services are provided by an alert engine in Oracle Application
Server that facilitates the publishing of content (by content
managers) and availability to subscribers (the content users). Alerts
can be triggered at certain times or based on location or threshold
values. For example, an application can be built to send an alert to
your cell phone when an employee submits an unusually large expense
report while you are on vacation.
14.1.3 Content Syndication Services
Content syndication services allow content to be repurposed or
reused. You can specify content sources using a wizard provided in
OracleAS Wireless Foundation Services to specify a content provider.
Two types of content services are provided by OracleAS Wireless:Transcoding services
These services allow applications developed in WML or cHTML to be
dynamically reformatted for use with phones, PDAs, or voice.
Web clipping services
These services enable you to clip and scrape standard web content
using a browser interface and then reuse this content for display to
mobile devices.
14.1.4 Provisioning Services
Provisioning services support configuring the Wireless Application
Protocol (WAP) settings on certain phones (e.g., Ericsson or Nokia)
to enable access to email and text-based web pages. OracleAS Wireless
includes APIs to extend this support to other devices. Provisioning
services also enable integration over-the-air (OTA) that is useful in
tasks such as updating Spatial Information Management (SIM) cards in
your device. Provisioning is supported for J2ME-developed
applications or native applications such as icons, MIDI applications,
and ring tones.
14.1.5 Personalization Services
Personalization services enable quicklinks that
provide shortcuts to applications are commonly used by users. Using
these services, you can enable profiles or portal views, and alert
notification for services subscribed to by specific users.
Personalization services also support managing user devices, user
application defaults (such as home location), and user location
marks.
14.1.6 Synchronization Services
OracleAS Wireless synchronization services allow you to synchronize
J2ME applications and Oracle Lite (Oracle's mobile
database). You can use these services to ensure that devices have
up-to-date data and that backend data is made consistent with locally
updated data.
14.1.7 Analytic Services
Analytic services enable the reporting of system usage, response
time, user behavior per channel, and user profile/application
matching. Data gathered using these services enables system
administrators and planners to determine the level of service and the
popularity of applications.
14.1.8 Commerce Services
OracleAS Wireless commerce services allow Mobile Wallets to be stored
in a triple-DES encrypted format in an Oracle database for added
security. You can retrieve such a wallet after providing a PIN.
Commerce services also support the automatic population of forms
using wallet data and integration to other systems such as billing
systems.
