Design and implementation of a mobile chat system

Thesis Overview

<p> </p><div><div><p><strong>1.1</strong>&nbsp; <strong>INTRODUCTION</strong></p><p><strong>Mobile chat</strong>&nbsp;may refer to any kind of communication over the Internet that offers a real-time transmission of text messages from sender to receiver. Chat messages are generally short in order to enable other participants to respond quickly. Thereby, a feeling similar to a spoken conversation is created, which distinguishes chatting from other text-based Mobile communication forms such as Internet forums and email. Mobile chat may address point-to-point communications as well as multicast communications from one sender to many receivers and voice and video chat, or may be a feature of a web conferencing service.</p><p>Mobile chat in a less stringent definition may be primarily any direct text-based or video-based (webcams), one-on-one chat or one-to-many group chat (formally also known as synchronous conferencing), using tools such as instant messengers, Internet Relay Chat (IRC), talkersand possibly MUDs. The expression <em>Mobile chat</em>&nbsp;comes from the word <em>chat</em>&nbsp;which means “informal conversation”. Mobile chat includes web-based applications that allow communication often directly addressed, but anonymous between users in a multi-user environment. Web conferencing is a more specific Mobile service,that is often sold as a service, hosted on a web server controlled by the vendor.</p><p></p></div><p></p></div><h3></h3><br> <br><p></p>
