Abstract: A method for presenting information contained in messages in a terminal (MS). In the method, the message includes at least one component. The message is transmitted to a terminal (MS) in a system for transmitting multimedia messages. In the method, a presentation model (SMIL) is formed to contain information related to the presentation of each component attached in the message. The aforementioned presentation model (SMIL) is supplemented with a reference about the location of each component in the message, and the aforementioned presentation model (SMIL) is attached to the aforementioned message.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed which has a media player, a local user interface, the local user interface being a primary presentation resource for the media player, a wireless communication interface, a media output port for connection to a remote media presentation device as a secondary presentation resource for the media player, and a controller. The controller is configured for receiving a wireless signal via the wireless communication interface from a remote control device designed for controlling an external device other than the apparatus. The controller is also configured for processing the received wireless signal to determine an action of the media player, and causing the media player to perform the determined action and output a result of the action to the media output port for presentation on the remote media presentation device if connected.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing a terminal MS2 of a communications system with coded still image signals. In order to enable a further content adaptation for multimedia messages, it is proposed that the method comprises receiving coded video signals at a network element of said communications system, converting at least a part of said received coded video signals in said network element to coded still image signals, and delivering said coded still image signals to a terminal MS2 of said communication system. The computation required for said conversion can be minimized by exploiting the commonalities of video and still images compression methods that are based on the Discrete Cosine Transform scheme. Thus it is rendered possible to provide excerpts of transmitted video clips also to terminals not capable of handling at least this particular video clip. The invention equally relates to a corresponding communications system, network element and module for a network element.
