WIM Locks (PIN Codes)

There are two types of WAP security locks (PIN codes) for the WIM on SIM. The locks protect the subscription from unauthorized use when browsing. The locks should typically be supplied from the supplier of the SWIM.

Access lock

An access lock protects the data in the WIM. The user is asked to

 

enter the PIN code the first time the SWIM card is accessed when

 

establishing a connection.

Signature lock

A signature lock is used for confirming transactions - like a digital

 

signature.

Push Services

These are useful for sending updated WAP site contents or WAP links to mobile users. Examples of services that can be implemented using push services:

•Notifications about new E-Mails, voice mails, etc. Instant messaging and chat

•News, sport results, weather forecasts, financial information (stock quotes etc.)

•Personal Information Manager (PIM) - delivery of contacts, meeting requests etc.

•Interactive games, e.g. play poker with a friend

There are two different forms of Push services, Service Indication and Service Loading. Reception of push messages and automatic load of URL (see below) may be turned on and off in the P800 user preference settings.

Service Indication (SI)

A Service Indication message contains a short text message and a URL. In the P800, these types of messages are typically stored in the WAP messages inbox which is integrated with the bookmark list in the browser application. When the user opens a message, both the text message and the URL will be displayed. The user have the options to postpone the message, load the URL or to delete the message.

Service Loading (SL)

A Service Loading message contains a URL. When such a message is sent to the P800, the URL will automatically be loaded into the browser application if the user is currently browsing the same site; otherwise it will be treated as a Service Indication message.

Opera Browser

Opera Software produces a fast standards-compliant browser for multiple platforms including UIQ. The Opera browser supports frames, javascript, plug-ins and much more whilst having a very compact code size. Opera has developed a technology called Small Screen Rendering which reformats full websites to fit the small screens of mobile devices without the need for scrolling. This technology resides in the browser and does not depend on any additional server capability in the network. Opera has demonstrated this technology on the P800 and is currently porting it to UIQ.
