Action Engine Ships 2.0 Version of Mobile Web Services Platform.Business Editors & Technology Writers REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2002 Enables Rapid Deployment of Mobile Web Services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. , Easy Access to Data Without Need for Constant Network Connection or Browser browser Software that allows a computer user to find and view information on the Internet. The first text-based browser for the World Wide Web became available in 1991; Web use expanded rapidly after the release in 1993 of a browser called Mosaic, which used Action Engine Corporation (www.actionengine.com) today released Mobile Web Services Platform 2.0 that enables smart device makers, carriers and wireless network operators, and enterprises to rapidly deploy browserless, mobile web services that are easy-to-use and manage, network efficient, conveniently accessible with or without wireless network connectivity, and available on a variety of client platforms including: (Pocket PC Phone Edition A Pocket PC with telephone capability. It is the combination of Microsoft's Pocket PC and Smartphone platforms. See Pocket PC and Windows Mobile. and Pocket PC, Windows 98/2000/NT/XP, and coming soon, Smartphone A cellular telephone with information access. It provides digital voice service as well as any combination of e-mail, text messaging, pager, Web access, voice recognition, still and/or video camera, MP3, TV or video player and organizer (see PDA). 2002, Palm OS and Symbian OS An open standard operating system for data-enabled mobile phones (smartphones) from Symbian Ltd., London (www.symbian.com). It supports Java, PC synchronization, Bluetooth local wireless access and GPRS packet-switched data. ). Trying to cram a PC-based wired Internet browsing approach inside of a mobile device falls short on a key purchase driver for wireless data services -- usability. Instead Action Engine has developed evolutionary "smart software for smart mobile devices" that moves beyond the browser model and minimizes dependence on network connectivity. A superior user experience is also driven by thick (smart) client-server software that utilizes a sophisticated client runtime on the device to offload To remove work from one computer and do it on another. See cooperative processing. a large portion of the wireless activity away from the server and network to run locally on the device. Combined, it solves three key software-related problems that have prevented the widespread adoption of wireless data applications and services: 1. Delivering a user experience that is both easy to use and intuitive on a device with limited data input capabilities and a small screen 2. Affordable data: thick client approach intelligently distributes the processing and storage of data between client and server, so service is both convenient and affordable for the user, as well as scalable and profitable for the carrier 3. Providing a common platform enabling the rapid and efficient deployment of data enabled applications and web services across key operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. -- with a common user and management interface -- Pluggable driver model ensure access to any system either over the Internet or behind a corporate firewall -- Smooth integration with new Web Services -- Access to data via legacy methods (C++, APIs, direct-to-SQL) Platform Benefits: Revolutionary Simple & Powerful User Experience -- Pluggable driver model ensure access to any system either over the Internet or behind a corporate firewall -- Smooth integration with new Web Services -- Access to data via legacy methods (C++, APIs, direct-to-SQL) Drive Incremental Additional or increased growth, bulk, quantity, number, or value; enlarged.
