Server

The mPortal server is a service creation environment which allows the operators, content providers to design and deploy any service within a matter of minutes through easy to use click-through GUIs.

Service creation environment is a web based GUI which allows creation, editing and maintenance of services through simple click of a mouse. Operators/content providers can create a service by simply mentioning the name of service and pointining it to a web link, an RSS or flat file. Also an update timer for content can be set. Through these simple steps, a service is created and the same is immediately available on the client side for access.

Categories of services can be defined on the server for providing content/information to the customers. Each category can have multiple services which are then defined using manual or automated content source. The types of content listing can be in form of a list or a window with content display. Also images can be added to content to make it more meaningful.

The feed for content can be an RSS, a flat file or manual entry. Also various other applications can update data into the mPortal Server by simply writing into a file system (txt or XML).
