A message from the CEO,

The entire cellular industry is faced with the challenge of providing dynamic online services to a rapidly growing, very mobile client base. We present UForms Server… it provides an amazingly simple solution for companies who need to deliver the same information imaging and data in all formats desired. We present this information and ask you to consider the vast benefits UForms could provide to service providers to the wireless industry in making the transition to “mMarketing” and “mCommerce” as well as providing many improvements in the area of secure information delivery.

Cellular companies are providing services based on GSM, GPRS and CDMA protocols in every corner of the world. The penetration of this new technology, especially in Asia, North America and Europe, means new opportunities for anyone prepared for the hundreds of millions of full-color small-screen browsers coming into this burgeoning market.

After having tested UForms in Japan for the past five years, we bring you a revolutionary new idea specific to the delivery of dynamic images and information to the wireless web. Present your information and advertising, in color, to all of those new internet-enabled phones coming to the market.

Ken Lahoda, CEO

UForms Server stands behind your regular web site helping you support universal mobile browser image and data delivery

Resizes and provides images to accommodate the many variations of device screen sizes

Existing web content isn’t disturbed. No waste, no redesign issues

Contents are altered at the Server, mixed with HTML and Java, and sent to the phone looking like this…

• Address• Rental Rates• Floor Plan• Outside View• Entry• Location

A lovely 2 bedroom, second floor appartment with private outside entry. Safe access to elevators, parking, pool and business amenities nearby. Contact us for a showing.

For greatest impact, images must fully fit the screen size and resolution or they will appear as “lowest common size” or broken images on an unappealing web site…

One site, mobile-One site, mobile-ready!ready!

Wireless internet technology helps surfers to see and respond to standard web information so long as it is presented well

UForms dynamically resizes and presents the best image to a client device accommodating the many variations in screen sizes, image formats and resolutions

Mobile surfers can go to the same web site on their phone as they would on their desktop

News feeds, real estate, travel, corporate finance, stock market feeds, advertising, logos, graphs, maps, photos, medical, social sites, auction sites and countless other wireless frontiers will benefit from this solution.

One web site…

Many more browser types!

This is a picture of a one-size floor plan on a mobile site where the designer assured it would not result in a broken picture element on the screen in any event…

This is UForms…Providing full-color, full-screen images resulting in greater selling impact.

Engine...Engine...SoftwareSoftware

The UForms Engine was developed in ANSI C++. This eliminated the need to make calls to any proprietary OS/API functions. Benefit:

Minor modifications are required to have the system run on any

new 32, 64 or 128 bit chip or any OS platform that comes

available, whether it be Windows, Linux or Unix.

A new, more powerful server chip on the market with a

new OS? Simply recompile, test and run…


Engine cont‘dEngine cont‘dSoftwareSoftware

The UForms Server Engine is THIN. A full compile of the Server Component is less than 800K in size. The benefit? It‘s merely a couple of files installed on any server...

Installation in a server takes seconds… No “DLL Hell” to deal with.

Being small, UForms spawns rapidly in memory, supports clustering and is multi-

threaded. This allows for massive numbers of unique processes to be

performed by powerful servers. Think stock market research or weather data

management… Think about data warehouses managed by UForms feeding a

growing digital cellular demand.

2.5G and 3G wireless systems need efficient servers and thin clients to serve 100’s of millions of

users.

UForms’ small memory footprint provides an ideal tool to bring color images

and ultimately, video to the telecom industry’s desperate need for a common

solution to the 3G and 4G wireless problem.

SchematicSchematicSoftware Engine Software Engine

This is how the UForms Software Engine is structured in memory. It represents a departure from the standard object-oriented approach in that "virtual buses" or information transfer channels are made available, much like a chip has physical circuits between logic units. Most operating system kernels work similarly. Internal Multi-Threading and Multi-CPU support allow for multiple thousands of possible UForms events to occur simultaneously in the proper server environment.


EngineEngineImage Rendering Image Rendering

The UForms Image Rendering Engine provides powerful solutions to rendering TrueType font characters together with graphics and data.

Benefits:Text and Graphics can be output to any resolution of screen in GIF, JPG, PNG,

Macromedia Flash, Raw Pixels and Adobe‘s popular PDF format. All delivered in

real-time and up to date with current information stored in databases.

The Rendering Engine manipulates images below the single pixel level for optimal image presentation. Small, clear images mean faster loading Web sites for cell phone screens.

The UForms Font Engine brings the capability to render TrueType fonts into their primitive “Glyph Elements” for proper resizing to the requested output format to Linux and Unix. Previously, this was possible using only Windows platforms.

ManipulationManipulationSub-Pixel-Level Sub-Pixel-Level

The Rendering Engine manipulates images at the sub-pixel-level for optimal image presentation.

This process provides UForms Server the capability to render even scan-able barcodes on the current 2.5G and 3G phone screens available worldwide.

RenderingRenderingTrueType Font TrueType Font

The Font Engine manipulates TrueType glyphs at the sub-pixel-level for optimal font-to-screen presentation.

This process provides UForms Server the capability to accurately display more complex characters in languages like Chinese and Japanese. In some cases, users of small screen PDAs and Cell phones can‘t read complex, multi-stroke characters from their own written alphabet.

AntiAnti-aliasing-aliasingFont & Image Font & Image

TrueType is the most popular font format. It is used in all Windows systems

Enhancing anti-alias functionality in TrueType Fonts helps display a rounder curve or a less jagged line when it is angled across the screen… Note the lack of anti-aliasing in this standard TrueType font character.

UForms Server’s Font Engine manipulates TrueType glyphs below the single pixel level for optimal font-to-screen presentation.

“Despite all the financial woes and turmoil in the telecom sector, investors are also lining up to place bets on wireless startups. Wireless, in fact, is one of the few sectors, along with biopharmaceuticals and medical devices and equipment, in which the net dollars flowing into startup deals are going up. Total spending on wireless equipment and services ventures rose from $59.5 million in the last quarter of 2000 to $93 million in the first quarter of this year, says PricewaterhouseCoopers. "Everyone is looking for the killer application in the wireless space," says Jesse Reyes of Venture Economics.”

Businessweek, May 28, 2001http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/01_22/b3734081.htm

This still applies today… Digital Rez International, a sister corporation of Universal Objects, is using UForms to maximize its opportunities in the wireless environment to provide even greater functionality for its travel clients. This ad, released in European Hospitality Technology Magazine, demonstrates the power of UForms and images in the wireless environment.
