Hello gurus, I found Consola, http://www.consola.org/ a couple of days ago. It's a bluetooth proximity media server, you push out content to bluetooth-enabled devices.
hmmm, glanced over it... not much information actually.
I want to push out a MMS. My question is if it's possible to send a MMS notification message via bluetooth. The receiver gets the SMS and download the MMS from mbuni.
nop, you generally can't send MMS via bluetooth. Actually "you could", if the vendors would add this feature to their devices. From a system architects point of view, I agree that it would be a nice way in pushing MMS to devices via bluetooth proxmimity servers. But as Bluetooth does not specify in detail which media types it suggests, it's more it leaves the content mime typing out of scope.
So you "could" push a MMS notification via a binary file to the device, but I guess (taking bets on this ;) that the device will not react on it. It will threat the file as "unknown binary" file, due to the fact that an MMS indication is considered to be pushed via SMS bearer to the device and not via bluetooth.
This comes up again to the more general problem in how mobile devices handle mime type files. They don't handle it steamlessly as opreating systems.
I don't have mbuni installed (yet) Can someone provide a correct encoded MMS notification SMS to me so I can try out if it works.
Now, I could forward you an MMS notification as SMS, that's not the problem, this is generic know-how. But how do you get the MSISDN (destination target number) to which send to? The bluetooth proxyimity server doesn't provide you the MSISDNs of the phones that are in bluetooth range, righ? You could only have a bridge via pushing a text file that contains information for the user how to initiate the MMS pull, ie. via sending an initial/authorization SMS MO, and then issue the MMS notification to the known MSISDN then.
That would be a way in implementing.
