Issues in image utilization within mobile e-services

According to current trends in the field of mobile communication, image utilization for services that can be accessed from mobile devices using a wireless connection will likely become very common. The limitations in the mobile networks and mobile devices´ capabilities, as well as the differences in their features, require specific modalities for transmitting and representing the visual information. We investigate the issues involved in image utilization within mobile e-services, and propose a method to manage the visual data utilization within WAP adaptive mobile e-services. We also present a method for delivering and representing the visual information at the end-user device that compensates for the limitations and enhances the mobile e-services´ usability
