Teleca expands Obigo® with camera applications
Teleca expands Obigo® with camera applications Teleca and Scalado today announced that Scalado's mobile imaging solution CAPS will be integrated with Obigo®, Teleca's world-leading application software suite for mobile phone manufacturers. By integrating Scalado's mobile imaging solution with Obigo, Teleca will be able to provide handset manufacturers with state-of-the-art camera applications. The integration of the CAPS (Camera phone Application Platform Suite) solution with Obigo, allowing for cross-triggering functions involving other Obigo applications, significantly improves the user's experience of for instance the multimedia messaging (MMS) client. The CAPS solution works with both simple camera phones and more advanced ones. Patented technology makes the solution very fast. Users may take pictures of high resolution and manage them without large requirements on memory. Functions include everything from simple tasks, such as taking and storing pictures, to more sophisticated applications, such as zooming, a number of frames and filters, picture editing and photo albums. "Scalado has been developing the imaging solution CAPS over the past two years in order to optimise digital camera applications for mobile phones. Mobile phone manufacturers are most interested in the solution, and some of the leading manufacturers are customers already," comments Mats Jacobson, CEO of Scalado. "We are looking forward to working closely with Teleca and its licensees to help create innovative solutions for mobile multimedia and further stimulate the demand for mobile phones based on Obigo." "Our co-operation with Scalado will make our product portfolio even more comprehensive," said Joakim Nydemark, Managing Director of Teleca Mobile Technologies AB. "Obigo licensees will benefit from image media support that can be launched faster, and consumers will be rewarded with an improved user interface experience." Thanks to the architecture of Obigo, no further integration is required in order to add more functionality once the framework is in place. Vendors will benefit from a shorter time to market and lower development costs. The pre-integrated and tested technology also lowers commercial risk.
