  • Patent number: 8645472
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling the content of a message transmitted from a transmitting device to a receiving device. When a message is sent from the transmitting device, it is determined whether the receiving device is capable of exhibiting the message without adaptation of the message's content. If the receiving device is capable of exhibiting the message without adaptation of the message's content, the receiving device exhibits the message. If the receiving device is not capable of exhibiting the message without adaptation of the message's content, the transmitting device is informed that the message could not be exhibited on the receiving device without adaptation of the message's content. The receiving device can also be informed what portions cannot be exhibited by the receiving device, and instructions can be provided so that the receiving device does not display the message at all if the message must be adapted.

  • Publication number: 20060007957
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods of supporting a transfer of a multimedia message. In order to simplify such a transfer, at least one header with information required for the transfer of the multimedia message is specified in an extensible mark-up language structure. In addition, a data content of the multimedia message is specified in an extensible mark-up language structure. The extensible mark-up language structure including the specified header and the specified data content is then provided for a transfer. When such an extensible mark-up language structure is received, the multimedia message is extracted from it. The invention relates equally to modules, to electronic devices, to a system and to software program products supporting such a transfer of a multimedia message.
