Abstract: To measure the performance of a system for the transmission of multimedia messages, a parametrizable module for the generation of multimedia messages is used. The subject field of the multimedia messages produced by the generation module comprises information on the multimedia message. This subject field is retrieved in the notification messages sent by a relay server. These notification messages are filtered by a filtering module. (206). The result of the filtering is given by a module (202) for the retrieval of multimedia messages. The result of the retrievals is compared with the sending operations made by an analysis module (203) to produce statistics on the working of the system.

Abstract: So as to limit the resources required by the mass broadcasting of multimedia messages, a multimedia content is identified by a service identifier. In the MMS-C server responsible for the broadcasting, this service identifier is associated with a certain number of multimedia messages preformatted as a function of a type of terminal. The requests for retrieval of the content therefore relate to a service identifier and a type of terminal instead of a URL of a message. Thus excessive communications between providers of contents and telephony operators are avoided. The excessive replication of a multimedia message on an MMS-C platform is also avoided.
