Problem statement :   Mobile phone's ...PDA's ...etc
 
                      Recently bought ...HTC Diamond , samsung omnia with windows mobile OS.

Opportunity :

      a)  Pack the standard wake-on lan feature ...as a battery power-saving or
          using battery-power efficiently ...when a call arrives 
  
          i.e. keep the mobile ,its components and OS in hibernation or sleep mode.


      b)  Ability to manage specific features or software shipped with the SIM
          ...efficiently ...viz. restrict ...the sim from making outgoing 
          calls /text-sms/GPRS/GPS ...data-access.

      c)  Given the limitations of a mobile-phone ...dependency on a tower...
          or frequency ...GSM/CMDA ...given the context  ...flexibility ...
          reliance of mobile device as a dependable device ...viz. in the context
          satellite-phone ?? ...usage or employing a mobile-device for...
          survielance-tactics  ...in the context life-insurance ...enforcement

      d)  Ability to treat text-mesg/sms ...as files in a folder ...also given
          the context of virus in circulation ...that come with file attributes
          unable to be handled by these GUI interfaced devices

      e)  GUI orientation is feature in most mobile pda devices ...automatic
          calibration ...features in the OS to fit-in the GUI area ...for instance
          the virtual keyboards ...being the most required features.

      f)  Setting up a virtual router /VPN ...by innovate ip-addressing schema

      g)  instead of a coaxial cable based interfaces for data-transfers ...electric
          charging ...retailing products with ...diminishable...electroplated interfaces
          ...keeping the life of the product at bay...as also recyclable consumable component
          ...in bringing the customer-back...customer-spend ...and keeping the business
          ...recurrent.

      i)  bug or feature !!    ....HTC!! 

                when the mobile is on ...suddenly unplug the battery 
                ...to find the missing folders ...when you switch on the mobile 
                ...is the data only lost or programs in the ROM corrupted!!
                for instance a specific folder is not visible in file-explore!!


                ...when you are connected to the pc/laptop over usb ...copying files to a folder,
                   trying to upload a file to the internet from the same folder ...is the folder
                   lost or not visible in file-explore ...is there a safety lock that needs to
                   be released by the mobile restart.!!

                ...said standby mode ...

                   no feature to restart the mobile!! ...hack...change the operator-settings in
                   the gprs connectivity via. my connections ...change the service provider
                   ...voila ...restart the device ??

               --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

               Recently launched a ROM fix for the HTC diamond ...but the screen lock bug persists??

               ....at the setup ....select for a simple pin ...enter a number....

               ...then....hm..hm ...great!!
              

               ...i was provided with the interrupt ...comibination to update the BIOS ....

               just wondering if such a key(hardware interface) combination can be set for screen-lock
               or temporary ...locking of the screen so as not ...consequences carrying such a device
               in pocket ....looks like the mess is a fallout of outsourcing ....mania ...building 
               and breaking Brands ...HTC!! hmm!! ...ODA!! ..Experience!!

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

              on a generic note mobile/pda devices...doesn't the ROM pick-up certain hardware attributes 
              such a IMEI or  wlan mac ....for unlock-ing a boxed piece !!

============================================================================================================

     j)   Believe norton or symantec or macfee(cassociates) !! no other consortium or 
          group are yet to venture into
          the mobile-pda space to exploit the vast user-base ...viz. virus-mania ...??,
          or aren't there enough ...geeks working to ...put a few bugs!! in place ??

           ...though not a wise-men bucket or stuff ?? ...how a-bout installing free-ware
              stuff

          ...reading through opportunity i) ...in the context ?? 

     k) is the windows mobile os core based on microsoft ...as shipped with HTC/samsung

        or is the windowing as properitary logo of microsoft ...and that HTC mobile makes use 

        of python[tcl...tk] just as  plethora of those GUI based windowing mobile devices on the market ??

     l) Device (mobile /pda /network enabled utilities) or service-plans ??

        Registration/activation/de-activation/enabling/disabling ??


        ideal proposition being using a secure channel over a call to the companies repositaries
        on optionally toll free line.

        the usage of ssh/pgp based token[bundled along with the device] for the above offers ideal option 

        viz. all updates to the device/downloads/remote-logging of bugs ...etc

        ...given the nature of device ...gsm[sim]/cmda networks ...OR ...a dedicated option over GPRS[on the lines
        of sos ... refer else-where as envisaged by this author ] for such devices makes a viable proposition.

        similarly unlocking a device can be done ...by using sms over gprs ...much the way how wap-profile settings
        are done, by setting a proper encoded ...format and handler at the mobile os level ...i.e. much like mime
        handling ...may refer to how smtp daemon or server shipped with iis on a win-nt servers funcion ...thus 
        modifying the handler(kind of cgi ...in http webserver ...instead implemented for sms) 
        ...above kind of functionalities can be implemented(rewrite or port isapi to mobile os)

        ...most mobile/pda handsets with mobile OS ....screenlock being a safety feature ...common to be forgottable
        or not remembered ...a better interface to manage/unlock forgotten password ....kind of when using or scope
        when using synchronization with personal computers(laptop/desktop) ....scope for ssh/pgp ...kind of mechanisms
        to be able to manage such device ...deriving from the scope of blootooth ...remote management of hosts,
        well configuration of synchronization host/management-host given the stationary nature desktop/personal PC
        ...and the security features incorporatable in a mobile/pda  device.

        loose-outline.

        similarly ...lost a mobile-phone containing a vital or important data ...dail into mobile network ..IVR
        viz. mobile number and lock the phon(sim lock) ...., similarly use a IVR or webportal based service from the manufacturer
        use the IMEI or other...token ...to lock-the-phone ...GPRS broadcast to all mobile networks

        ....this envisaged schema obliviates to logging into web-portal ...and can rely on the PDA pgp/ssh authentication
        viz. ideally self-authentication between the public-private-keys.


        also a better set of wrapper than https or encrypting over socket  ...between two domains or ethers

        either by self-authentication(scores given the context ...strength of key) or standard pgp handshake.

        also the below is worth-while to take a look at

         [   Handwriting, signature recognition and image-pattern matching ...offers a good level of screening 
              or authentication levels in a authentication mechanisms ...implementable both as screen-based authentication
              for PDA/Mobile devices ,

              as also ability to verify the same with a server-side service ...i.e. by implementing a handwriting , signature
              recognition and image-pattern analysis and matching  ...that can be cross-checked when authentication is done
              using a touch-screen with stylus/pen enabled devices ...i.e. cross-checking dynamic digital-image pattern out
              of a natural signature performed by a individual inlieu of a password.

       
             this algorithm embeddedable or encoded into a pgp/ssh kind of handshake offers a viable solution.

          ]

          understanding and interpreting from how a public-key is generated out a private-key ...a specific-key-generated
          for the purpose can be embedded or uploaded ...to avoid ...effects from proxies in specific ...caching servers
          or url re-direction ...when relying on self-authentication...intial-upload of such-key should be performed using
          ssh/sftp ideally.
          -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           

      m) do all the PDA's / mobiles have a provision for carrying or a slot for stylus or is the stylus
          mandatory for comfortable operation  as per the norms of OS/Device ??

      n) use or exploitation of a stylus as a antenna ...for satellite mobile phone connectivity,
         magnetic sensing of the stylus ...scope for all kinds of mobile computing devices,
         also understanding how magnetic sensing of a stylus in some touch screen based devices can help
         in implement or using a stylus for optimal use in mobile computing class.

      o) activation or resumption of a device from suspend or sleep or powersave mode 
              ...as a configuarable option ...use-case modelled ,
                                      
         with feather touch or dail-pad based key's offers a good proposition.

      p) is the html file browser/picker control on mobile os in sync with the filesystem browser ??

            ability to pick files from the filesystem ... 

             is that a bug in the browser shipped with the OS
                     a bug with the device ,
                     a bug with the integration of the said internal storage or memory cards bundled
                     or a bug with the integration of the memory cards integration to the PCB of the devices.  

      q) using a slider bar or similar utility as in GPS navigation or maps navigation 
         ...for managing the display area in a mobile/pda ...offers decent proposition ...viz. display resolution.

         a use-case modeled silder bar as in for a volume control or a pictorial control accessible for adjusting
         the display properties on mobile or pda ...viz. text size , as also focus as in say when navigating GPS
         based maps

      r) the following midlets/apps ... .cab installables ...python bundles adds value to any moble/pda devices

         voip(given the context of rechristening ...the stack of software embedded in the service layer of mobile operators)
         to leverage GPRS connectivity

         A GPS reciever and viewer or plotter

         Flash emulator for java jblend or java embedded-os platforms.

           bundling the same as OEM ware or free-bies make ideal proposition.

      s) in mobile RF based networks ...how does the various technologies work ...as propositioned work??
         given that RF can be recieved and broadcasted in bundles ...or packets 

         ...how does the various propositioned technologies differentiate themselves  from other technologies,

            the said protocols viz. data encoded in these radio packets ...has to be in packets

            ...the branding ,marketing ...means ...and the value added propositioning ...the myth
            behind RF packets and technologies minting...money and running a viable business propositions.

      t)  LG sports a cool java interface ...activating the Radio on lg touch kp500 ...make one feel
          how user friendly is the GUI design ...for some fiddling around the volume control...out pop-up's
          a menu one needs a jack to close the applet/widget !!   

          LG usb connectivity to cool to use ...the asynchronous session ...makes the phone cool to use
          and phlip around the various features  or tabs ...just that the phone is racked up to maximum
          or optimized use of only one feature at a time ...want to copy files from your pc or usb connectivity,
          while surfing ...the internet or sending a email or sms , also the ability to reconnect  usb connectivity to
          the PC just requires reconnecting a connect cord!!  ...hm ...hm ... the device is worth the pricing,

          and the native file-browser or organizer is a cool to flip around the content on the mobiles internal and
          external memory ...also placing any content outside the default folders in the phones memory using usb
          interface offers great way to hide one's file from virusus and locking or keeping the files in safe custody.

          A great way to design the interface for the memory card is that once you insert ...it is next to impossible
          to retrieve the card ...one needs a qualified technician!! ...claims ...8!!GB is the max ...well 16 GB card
          slotted in with no quirms ....any way ...it is would be a great know-how ...how to market the same memory
          flakes in various capacities and sizes!!


      u)  the manufacturers warranty on the mobile devices/PDA ...are examplaryly christined 
              ...to claim or demonstrate to the trained staff  ...for the devices to serviced as per warranty norms
          one is directed to ...refer to the company or brands representative offices,

          as on date being based out of india it appears ..for most the brands india cool dumping ground for,
          products that do not match-up the[to a] brands expectations!! ...understanding merchandising and
          commerce ...looks india is lucrative market ...for the importers of these goods ...OR is there
          a paradox ...with most said MNC's having outsourcing design houses in india ...these designs are
          being manufactured illictly and brought into the market ...or is that these outsourced export firms
          dumping the export rejected goods in india ...to cool branded prices ...projected as MNC's

 
     v) sim management on the client-side(mobile ...pda) and on the server-side(mobile networks),
        
        efficiency or in-efficiency in the mobile/pda's to manage network profiles ...in-efficiency on the
        part of the server-mobile-networks ...to manage network-profile ...viz. essentially allocation of
        network band-width ...usually termed service-plans

        the greatness of cellular network in india happening to be that multiple-such network access profiles
        can be active and be billed for the same 

        given the context of the wire-less ...ip...based mobile-networks ...scope for automation and management

       ....also deriving from s) ....interpretation of call charges rates ...and differentiation from what 
       is termable in internet and mobile-network ?? ...is this a feature being exploited by mobile operators
       in india

       ....for efficient management of devices ....and network-services 

       ....refer to 'opportunity_wrapper_xml_parser_perl_lang.TXT' .....FIBREOPTIC AND gigabit-ethernetworks


    w) further to as envisaged by this author in 'opportunity_interface_shell_unix_perl.txt',

       some products[opera=mini] ....keeping aside ...the relevance ...enforceablity of IPR ...copyrights...trademarks,
       for instance ...deriving from the OO-P concept ...and from v) ...as described above or ...say on a device with 
       multiple (say routers ...dual ...band devices) ... gate-ways ...the ability to configure using a configuration
       interface or a prompt to the end-user .

    x) A interface to micro-manage SIM (while it is to be noted that there is little difference between a SIM and flash
       memory slots ...and could be used interchangably and also potentially logging into multiple networks),

       ...i.e. all applications and memory on a SIM ...

       for instance ...most mobile networks ...offers auto-discovery ...taking the instance from  v)
       ...causing not only clash ...on access to mobile networks ..multiple profiles ...bugs that need to be fixed.
 
       as also the fact that ..some sim based applications ...that may require server side ...settings to be deactivated
       ...by negating the application on the sim on client-side ...understanding ...the push-pull traffic in IP networks
       ...as such 

       ...and also ...a simple fact ...that some operators may potentially engage in ...mal-practices or some applications
       or settings may lack the require interface to make it evident to be activated and deactivated.

       ...in context that should or could potentially be examined under a micro-scope is the fact that is propostions
       of VAS (value added services ...Airtel) ...and downloads ...offered on mible networks ....funny about these
       services and applications are that they deduct a standard subscription price per day ...as long as one is 
       logged in the network ...wether one utilizes /queries or access these subscription ...but no histrical or
       historical ...accounting viz. carry-forward ...much like the post-paid ...service plans ...isn't ensured
       ...any how good revenue stream to earn domestic and international ...currency ...as long as the customers
       won't quirm or complaint ...a penny or a cent a day ...scaled ...offering...economies of scale in group insurance
       terms

       similarly a unified interface to track all subscriptions from a  service provider i.e. mobile carrier network.
   
       eg: airtellive and airtel voice chat ....to subscribe and unsubscribe from any VAS related subscriptions
           through a universal interface
 
   y)  [100% ...ideal proposition] zero maintainence mobile networks ...that doesn't require client management
       ...i.e. mobile-device except for network infrastructure ...just like ..power lines or power-grids.

       billing ...solutions ...every-thing being dependant on the integrity and reliability of the data-stored on the sim/
       mobile for client management ...deriving from how a cookie in the context ...http/html protocol based web-browsers
       is used.

       ability to store-data on the sim ...rely upon its integrity

       ...ssh/pgp ...vxdb/boot-sector...OS-disks ...reliable-firmware on the client-mobile-devices,

       SAN or similar...storage..bed for tracking ...incomming ...routable-calls at satellite(satellite based phone),
       ...or GSM/WLL ...technologies based networks.   

   z) The ASUS p320 looks a cool gadget ...except for the slot to insert the memory card ...either the nails one grows
      aren't enough or the interface ...needs mastery ...making a technician manadatory to inspect the device,

      also the sleek visiting card style alert (mine bearing number 15G22A164000) ...gells well in advicing the
      customer on how to use the device ...especially in the absence of inventory the goodies or accessories that
      make-up the purchase of the device

  a1) when desiging interfaces to a mobile/pda devices ...stylus and pda should be sufficient to get around 
      exploring all the feautures of a mobile

           The tail of the stylus capped with scrubber ...makes a viable option to be used as scrubber.
           The head of the stylus ..viz. pointed head ...to be used to push a embedded botton ...for slots of
           memory card/ power/usb slots offers good interface.
           
  a2) much on the lines of a traffic sign posts and traffic signs used ...a universal compendium of signs to be
      used on the mobile/pda phones ...to indicate status codes ...and other such relevante scenario's ??
      across mobile network carriers, manufacturer's ...etc

  a3) The said compatibility and differences between the winCE ...pocketPC ...windows mobile os X.x versions
      and the windows architechture from microsoft stable ...authenticity , genunity of the labels and their
      validation....in specific execution of binaries specific to MS windows series of operating systems

  a4) windows fax reciever /send ....or similar fax reciver to be bundled with mobile os ...given the context of gprs
      ...ability to recieve and send fax ...from one's pocket!! ...also refer elsewhere as envisaged by this
      individual (eg projects.pdf) ...little rework is need or is to be done ...given the context of MIME and MMS(multi
      media based message service or message exchange) over gprs.

  a5) given the context of swelling memory sizes ....packed with mobile/pda devices ...a integrated document/desktop
      search engine to be bundled with Mobile Operating Systems.

  a6) further to as published and envisaged by this individual,

      understanding how programming interfaces ...compilers ...interpreters ...operating systems work

       and as envisaged from MS stable the CLRI 

        ...given that assembly language or compiled OS is equivalent of CLRI 

        ...a lexical parser on the top of CLRI ...consisting of what may be termed as the interpreter ...to run the instructions

        ...multiple languages or programming interfaces that can be made to sit atop a mobile OS.

           thus a virtual machine ...that executes the machine level instructions ...ideally that takes care of memory management too!!

           ....atop which ...lexical parsers ....thus scope for umpteen languages that can be supported.


 a7) understanding and deriving from interpretations of .jad extensions used on jvm micro editions for executing .jar files

     ...a innovative mode or means ...given that jar files are namespace packed content...

     while the idea or scope of compression as in zip files should be feasible ...

     make them leight weight enough ...easy to executable ...bytecode packing format when generating a .jad wrappers to 
     arrive at efficiently packaged jar files


 a8) most mobile devices are popular being used for internet sharing and GPRS dailup modems

     given the drawbacks of modems and advantages of usb ...

      ....means and scope to alleviate resistance in pcb ...and device heating ...for prolonged life of the device.  

 a9) device driver magic's ...sony ericson t310 can broadcast and recieve data using GPRS without any exclusive
     subscriptions to GPRS ...for instance GPRS based sms...protocol to be used for sms.

     while....a different device causes problems using GPRS??


 a10) package a group-ware application ...on mobile/pda ...deriving from MS netmeeting ...
                      either on wlan or blootooth drivers.

 a11) by RF enabling a projector or connecting to laptop/pc ...from mobile/PDA ...scope and potentialities from a10)

 a12) store the contacts on the mobile device as vCards ...kind of database/xml...

      ability to associate a pic with a contact ....

      ability to synchronize the contacts database with other directory or contact compatible universal protocol

      thus use or click on pic to dail a contact....

      use-case model to packa appropriately.

 a13) windows mobile 6.1 os [on a asus p320] ...turn-on the backlight when a button is pressed or the screen is tapped

                 ....voila ...the mobile cums live ?? ....unable to interpret or read or follow the the instruction

 a14) Most mobile/pda devices come bundled with a feature called vibrator-embedded (it could potentially well be a wave pattern of
      sound that give's the specific sense to the receptor viz. the human).

      exploiting the usage of the vibrator in various context to give ...perceptability and unique feature to enhance a application
      could be a utilty or a game for mobile/pda/gaming-console.

      viz. ability to vary the various attributes of the vibrator ...that usually gives a sense of resonance leaving unique effect
           in the hands of end-user ...thus ability to use's quantum's of the effects in the context of 'eventing' in any app give's
           unique perceptability....may recall or remember the ping-ball based game bundled with winnt/win2k  os ...kind of effects
           and sensory perceptions.

           also understanding virtual reality toolkits ...offer an insight into the derivable feature or effect's adaptable to the
           devices in the context.

 a15) battery drain or battery dryout  ...due to device usage are a common phenonmenon in mobile devices (laptop/pda/mobile phones),
      ability to raise a alert viz. a alarm or screen-message ...as a configurable option ...provides a viable option

 a16) password or pin ...input is ideally encrypted ....it funnily odd that window's OS 6.1 on certain mobile device's
      ...shows off the password when you input the pin to log into a mobile network...caught the bug on a ASUS mobile device,
      to reproduce the bug ...try varying the sim in the slot....ideally result in the error 'sim not found or sim not inserted'

 a17) much like the standard pstn based phone ...further to as published else-where in the document projects.pdf and elsewhere, 
      ability to set the phone ...in un-attendable or busy mode ...such that the voice-message can be left or auto-recordable on
      mobile-device ...given the scope and context expandable or increased memory available as possible feature.


 a18) most or many use the mobile device as a modem for internet connectivity using gprs ...viz. either blootooth or usb cable,

      given the limitations of the battery ..quantum or capacity to which a battery can be charged , a innovative battery design
      that chargers or circuit is closed when battery capacity is below par.


 a19) porting the buddy concept to the mobile devices ....ability to schedule voice based alert or reminders 

 a20) much like or deriving from the ability to store contacts either on the sim or phone memory , the ability provide a interface
      to pre-configure or preset default storage-area for blue-tooth transfer's/various-applications(music or audio player default
      folder from where to pick-up or list contents) on the phone i.e. to either default memory on phone or the addon memory card.

 
 a21) some networks provide or support call redirection ...i.e. ability to configure a number to which all incomming calls on
      a mobile-no can be diverted to ...

     given that for those usually who move or on business trips....roaming as such costs!! ...viz. pulse rate or roaming charges.

     ....a innovative nice to have configurable feature at the mobile OS level ....


     viz. when the feature is enabled ...on the device ...all incomming calls

                           a)...'leave a  message to call upon a new-number' i.e. either a voice-mail or a SMS back to the caller.

                           b)... similarly a configurable option on the mobile device .i.e. configure a number to which to 
                                page or SMS the caller's number.

                           c)... similary a configurable option on the mobile device .i.e. configure a number to which all
                                incomming pager text or sms is forwarded to.

        eg: most critical support for production systems monitoring in IT ...those involved in adminstering or supporting carry
            a pager or mobile by rotation ...instead ...from above either a call forwarding or pager forwarding configured on
            such device ...will forward it to appropriate number.

 a22) using ssh (or other encryption algorithm's of the data ...refer to projects.pdf or else-where on
      this uri/url) protocol ...making it mandatory for any caller to speak to device ...for secure reliable
      (reliable translating into a increased confidential level but not ruling out evesdroping or theft of 
      information) communication i.e. all kinds classifications ...primary being making the basic usage of
      a mobile device

Problem statement: Precusor to the above ...before buying a htc phone
                   bought a HP ...table PC!!


Opportunity :  innovative designs ...that have heat exhaust's ...based on fan else-where ...

               say on the sides(of the cube) ...such that it doesn't hinder(boil ..rather cook the skin??)...

               one using it as a laptop ...??

               ...also special ...cfc..packing or wrapping the pcb(mobile/portable computing devices)
               ...refer/remember/recall the memory-stick designs?? ...with heat-sink cover.


              Also to be noted in the context ...rebooting the tablepc when connected to HTC via USB cable??
              ...flow and direction of power or dc ...impact on the system ...try rebooting the system...
              keeping the device connected to the mobile say ...as in when surf the net using the mobile device??,
              in the context may refer to the document 'opportunity_usb_networking_mobile_computing.txt'

             It is a great notable feature that using a AMD 64 bit architecture processure in combination with windows
             vista 32 bit OS ...for great performance gains ...itz bit quite odd n funny ...if not con-fusing ...
             for instance i bought a few windows mobile os ...compatible pda phone...HTC diamond ...and samsung omnia
             though not true windows or inexplicable reasons ...being python ...based devices ....when installing 
             drivers for the laptop/desktop viz. mobile device center(driver) ....too choose between amd64 bit driver
             and the intelemulator based drivers.

    
             There is pandemonium every where what with every one sporting a windows MS logo ...identifying the real
             or true MS windows ...for instance ASUS based PDA/mobile device's seem to be class apart in the underlying
             OS or arictechture based on which their mobile OS is compiled or derived ...the windowing mechanism makes
             the OS ...stand apart viz. [multi or] number of sessions or open windows apart from the active window (window tiling
             or window stacking ...and OS-sessions-or-shells-to-the-OS)
