The e-Eye Personal Edition is a Mobile Instant Image Solution written in Java using J2ME/MIDP (Java 2 Micro Edition/Mobile Information Device Profile). The Solution comprises two software components, a viewer at the mobile terminal side and a server program at the PC side. When the server program is activated, it will send the images captured from the web-cam that is connected to the PC to a Java PDA phone via GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). The user can view the images from his/her Java PDA phone by just entering the corresponding IP address, port number and password at the viewer program that is installed in the phone.
“Motorola is committed to the advancement in wireless communications and solutions as demonstrated in our launch of a series of GPRS J2ME handsets and Asia's first dual access J2ME M-Commerce site, Mymobilesoft.com. We strongly believe combining wireless, internet and Java in one package as today's debut will be one of the main drivers in the advancement of the telecommunication technologies for the betterment of our daily living.” Said Cedric So, General Manager, Hong Kong Operations of Motorola Asia Pacific Ltd.
Professor Victor Li, Chair Professor of Information Engineering at HKU and Managing Director of Versitech Limited, said, “The killer application for high speed wireless communication is going to be multimedia services, especially Internet access to such services. Versitech's e-Eye and Motorola's 388 Java PDA phone allow us to provide this service today at an affordable price.” He further quoted a statement that he had predicted in one of his articles published in IEEE Proceeding in 1998 – where he wrote, “When Personal Information Service becomes widely available, it will change the way we live…” “The Partnership between Motorola and Versitech provides this service today,” said Professor Li.
