P800/P802 Smartphone
P800 Smartphone
White Paper, May 2002
Preface
The P800 White Paper is designed to give the reader a deeper understanding of the features and applications of the P800 and P802 smartphones. There are actually three models:
Model Markets Characteristics
P800 Europe, Middle East,
Americas, Latin Asia
P800c Hong Kong and Taiwan Chinese MMI and input methods
P802 People’s Republic of China Chinese MMI and input methods
In this document, the term ‘P800’ is used to denote all models and ‘P802’ to denote the Chinese models P800c and P802. Where the Chinese versions (P800c/P802) differ, the differences will be briefly explained in the text. More information will be found in the section ‘P800c/P802 in detail’
The paper gives an overview of the key points of the P800 and a summary specification. The main operational points of the product are explained. Each functional area is then described in detail.
Features and Man-Machine Interface (MMI) design are subject to change.
Latin Character (a, b, c…) flip and text input

Rotating the Jog Dial takes the user through a menu of the most important applications. Clicking the Jog Dial or pressing OK will select the application, for example the Calendar.
The standby screen may be personalised with photographs. The user may also customise the application menu.
Pressing the Menu button brings up a set of options relevant for the current application. The Jog Dial may be used to make a selection, or the corresponding numeric key on the keypad may be pressed as a shortcut.
During a phone call, the user has access to most applications, making it possible to look up appointments, contacts, etc whilst chatting on the phone.
The P800 enables Latin characters to be entered via the keys on the flip. Characters are selected by pressing the key until the required one is shown. The P802 supports Chinese character input using Stroke, Pinyin and Bopomofo.

Flip Open (FO mode)
When the flip is opened, the large touch-screen is revealed. In ‘flip open’ mode, the stylus may be used to navigate and enter data. The Jog Dial provides further navigation and selection capability. The User Interface is Symbian’s established UIQ design, adapted for the narrower 208 pixel screen.

Flip Removed
The flip may also be removed. A hinge-cover is clipped in place instead of the flip:
When the flip is removed, a ‘virtual flip’ is available. It works in exactly the same way as the hardware flip, except that the buttons are represented on the touch screen. The main uses of the virtual flip are:
• FC input methods (especially for the Chinese versions)
• SIM-AT
•
Keylock

Application MMI Outline
P800 applications generally follow the style guidelines established for Symbian UIQ applications.
The user may select five important applications and display them on the ‘application picker’ strip across the top of the screen. The sixth icon at the right always switches to the Application Launcher.
All applications are listed in the Application Launcher. The user may select list view with small icons and text, or a ‘finger-size’ icon display of 8 applications per page. One tap on the list-row or icon will launch (switch to) the desired application.
The Folder feature enables the user to group applications into logical folders such as ‘games’ and ‘work’. This feature is carried through into many applications, enabling contacts, appointments, notes etc. to be organised effectively.
The Jog Dial can also be used to navigate up and down; clicking on an application will navigate to it.
There is no concept of starting or closing applications; simply navigating to them. When an application is used for the first time it will start in its basic state, which is typically a list view. If the user navigates from application A to application B (using, say, the Application Picker,) application A will close any open dialogs and views and return to its initial state ready for the next time it is used. Data is saved. There are some exceptions, for example the browser stays at the current page.
Here is an example of a list view. This is the normal state of the Contacts application.
Tapping on the folder drop-down, the list can be filtered to show just one folder, for example business or personal.
A tap on the desired item will open the detail view.
Lists typically scroll a page at a time. The scroller may be found in the lower corner of the screen.
As in the application launcher, the Jog Dial can be used to select an item. This provides a useful ‘one-handed’ way of operating the P800 in FO mode.
14
g
Here is the detail view in the contacts application. The most important information is displayed directly. Further information is organised by using tabs; in this case notes and a picture.
A conventional menu structure is provided for tasks and actions.
Changing the folder here will re­classify this entry. Entries default to ‘all’ or ‘unfiled’.
Tapping on a telephone number will navigate to the phone application to make a call. Similarly, tapping an E-Mail address will navigate to the E-Mail application and create a new E-Mail to the contact.
As before, the Jog Dial can be used to perform these operations one-handed.

Status Bar
The status bar shows the normal items such as signal strength and battery meter. In FO mode, the icons may be tapped to see further information and access relevant settings. Tapping the keyboard icon whilst entering text enables the user to switch between handwriting recognition and on-screen keyboard. More icons are used to indicate temporary conditions such as , Bluetooth activity, ongoing call and internet connection status.

User Storage
The P800 has a flexible and simple way of organising applications and user data. Technically, the P800 has a filing system rather like a PC. The user storage space is shared across applications without any imposed restrictions, apart from the whole space becoming full. For example, one user might use the entire user storage space for photographs, in which case over 200 can be stored. Another user might load a third party street map application and a number of street maps. In this case, the application will take up some of the storage space and so will each map. When space becomes limited, the user can choose to remove some maps.
The P800 has 12Mbyte of user storage space. The P802 has less, 9Mbytes, due to the extra Chinese applications.
Depending on the application, data can be beamed, mailed, uploaded to the web or transferred over the link to a PC in order to archive and create free user space on the P800 – see ‘Synchronisation and Data Transfer’ later in this paper.
Unlike a PC, the user does not need to be aware of the underlying filing system. Applications will always make sensible choices and store information automatically, simplifying management of data. Third party applications may implement more complex file management solutions where required.

Phone and PIM Applications
Phone
The P800 is a full-featured mobile phone having full integration with the other functions of the device, including third party applications.
The phone includes useful and fun features such as:
•
Personalised ringtones – conventional or polyphonic (WAV) ringtones can be set in Contacts, giving audible indication of who is calling.
•
Picture Phone Book – if there is a picture of the person in Contacts, it will be displayed when making outgoing calls and when receiving the CLI with an incoming call.
• Quick access back to the entry in Contacts, making it easy to try an alternative number or send an E-Mail if the contact is unavailable or busy.
• Voice dialling, voice answer and ‘magic word’ activation. Up to 50 commands/tags in total.
• Access to most other applications whilst talking on the phone.
• Office handsfree (speakerphone), including a proximity switch to switch off the
loudspeaker if the P800 is picked up and placed against the ear.
• Flight mode enables the P800 to be used as a PDA in situations where radio transmitters may not be used. The GSM and Bluetooth transmitters (and receivers) are switched off.
In FC mode, the phone is driven by the keypad, like a conventional mobile phone.
17
If the flip is opened, the phone application re-scales itself to the full screen size. Other P800 flip closed applications are able to do this too.

Contacts
The P800’s Contacts application holds the details of all the user’s contacts. It is available in FC and FO modes and is fully integrated with the phone and other PIM applications. Each contact can contain multiple phone numbers and E-Mail addresses, name and address details, personal notes and a photograph of the contact or other image. This information will typically be synchronised in to the P800 to begin with; contact data can also be added and edited on the P800 itself. Local and remote synchronisation is possible to the SyncML standard.
Contact data can be beamed in or out using Infrared and Bluetooth. It can also be sent and received using messaging. See the Object Exchange section for full details.
Contacts are displayed in a list, which may be filtered by folder such as business or personal. Use the Jog Dial or stylus to select the required person.
Key communication details are displayed first. One tap will initiate a phone call, new message or URL in the browser. The Jog Dial can also be used.

Imaging
Built-In CommuniCam
The P800 has a built-in camera capable of taking still pictures up to 640 x 480 pixel (VGA) resolution (307200 pixels) and 24 bit colour depth. 320 x 240 (QVGA) and 160 x 120 (QQVGA) pixel sizes are also selectable. The camera may be used in Flip Closed mode for fast point-and­shoot pictures using the screen as the viewfinder. The lens is recessed into the back of the P800. With the flip open, the viewfinder is supplemented with graphical controls and access to camera settings. The viewfinder is always 160 x 120 pixels, irrespective of the resolution at which the picture is taken. A dedicated hardware button provides fast access to the camera application.
Images are stored in the P800’s filing system and are therefore available for other applications to use. The number of images that can be stored depends on the available file space, which is shared with other applications. In FO mode, the viewfinder will give an estimation of the number of images remaining, assuming that all of the free storage is available for the camera application and using the current settings for size and quality. Approximate JPEG file sizes are 50kbytes for VGA, 18kbytes for QVGA and 3kbytes for QQVGA.
Images are placed into a user-definable folder. They may be viewed and organised in the image viewer, and are available for use by other P800 and third party applications.
In Flip Closed mode, the camera is optimised for ‘point-and-shoot’ speed:
• Dedicated CommuniCam button
•
Ready/Busy indicator
The first press on the CommuniCam button will switch on the viewfinder. Each subsequent press on the button will then act as a shutter and take a picture.
With the flip open, additional on-screen controls are:
• Shutter/Record
• Delay Timer on/off. The timer gives an
audible ‘countdown’ to the shot.
•
View the last shot
Settings are accessed via the Camera menu and include:
• Image size
•
High/Medium/Low quality (low uses least storage space)
•
Brightness and Contrast
• Backlight mode (when there is light behind the subject in the viewfinder)
• Flicker-free mode (for fluorescent lighting)
•
White Balance (automatic or one of 4 pre-set values)

Image Viewer
The P800’s image viewer enables you to view and organise your photographs. The image viewer manages all images taken by the built-in camera plus images loaded from elsewhere, such as received via E-Mail or synchronised in from a PC. The image viewer supports image types JPEG, BMP, GIF, MBM, PNG and WBMP.
Thumbnail viewing – images may be ordered by name, date, size or type. Tap an image to see it full-screen. Alternatively, a textual list including name, size and date may be displayed.
Using Images
Pictures may be loaded up to the internet. Sony Style Imaging is an on-line album enabling you to share your pictures and video clips.
www.sonystyle-imaging.com
In full screen mode, the user can browse through the images and organise them:
• Categorise into folders
•
Rename or delete
• Send as E-Mail or MMS
The viewing area is 192 x 144 pixels.
Pictures can be easily sent as a Multimedia Message. Simply select a picture, add a message and send just like an SMS or build a slide show with several images and your favourite sound clips.
Images may be viewed ‘actual size’, meaning that each pixel of the source image is presented on one pixel of the screen. A full size 640 x 480 image from the camera will require 3 taps on the horizontal scroll bar to scan across it.
Pictures of your friends can be saved in Contacts. When a contact calls (or the user calls that contact), the picture is displayed with the details of the call. This is known as ‘Picture Phone Book’

Video Playback and Streaming
The P800 Video Player plays video content that is locally stored or streamed.
MPEG-4 Standard
MPEG-4 was developed in 1998 by the Motion Pictures Expert Group, and has been incorporated into the 3GPP specifications for mobile multimedia. The earlier standards, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 are widely in use for multimedia CD-ROMS and digital broadcast television for example. MPEG-4 has new functionality enabling to support both small mobile terminals and larger fixed devices within one standard. It has been adopted by 3GPP.
MPEG-4 has the following advantages:
•
Flexible range of bit-rates supported, from 9.6kbps to 6Mbps (compared to 1.5 to 12Mbps for MPEG-2)
• High error resiliency
• Variable frame rate, enabling optimisation based on the transmission path and the overall
load on the server.
Video Compression
The video compression component of the standard is called MPEG-4 Visual and covers a range of bitrates and functionalities. Profiles are used to describe functionality packages. Simple Visual Profile provides efficient and error-resilient coding of video content, and is supported by the P800 Video Player.
MPEG-4 Visual is also broken down into levels, describing such things as frame size, bitrate and buffer capacity. Level 0 is targeted at mobile devices and provides for a frame size up to 176 x 144 pixels at maximum rate of 15 frames per second.
Audio Compression
The 3GPP standard uses AMR for audio coding, though this is actually outside of the MPEG-4 standard. This is because AMR is highly optimised for the mobile environment, requiring as little as 4.75kbps bandwidth.
File Format
The file format defined by MPEG-4 has extension MP4. It is applicable for both streaming and local storage/playback. MP4 uses a structured yet flexible method to describe and encapsulate multimedia material.
3GPP PSS (Packet Switched Streaming) Standard
What is streaming?
Streaming is a method of making audio, video and other multimedia available in near real-time, over the Internet or corporate intranets. Streaming media to computers has been used during the last few years, and now, with GPRS, EDGE and UMTS, the technique is can be used with mobile phones.
The name ‘streaming’ refers to the technique it is based on. Previously it was necessary to download an entire file to the hard disk or mobile phone and then play it, whereas through streaming the user can begin to watch or hear the content of a requested file after only a short delay. The data in the file is broken into small packets that are sent in a continuous flow, a stream, to the end-user’s computer or mobile phone. It is then possible to begin viewing the file
24
from the beginning as the rest of the packets are transferred to the end-user’s machine or mobile phone while playing. The short delay at the start is to enable a small amount of data to be buffered. The data buffer enables playback to continue uninterrupted despite variations in the rate of received data.

Applications
The applications which can be built on top of the streaming services, can be classified into on­demand and live information delivery applications. Examples of the first category are music and video, news-on-demand applications as well as on-demand instructions material. Delivery of radio and television programs are examples of live information delivery applications.
User scenarios
• Streaming of music on demand
• Streaming of news (video, audio) on demand
•
Streaming of movie trailers on demand
• Streaming and download of video on demand
•
Live streaming of music/video (broadcast)
Standards, architecture and protocol
Sony Ericsson supports the architecture, protocols and codecs for the PSS (Packet Switched Streaming) within the 3GPP system, as well as supports all ongoing standardization activities within 3GPP. Sony Ericsson constantly works to follow standards and to ensure interoperability between business solutions, and also stands up to meet additional market requirements within this area. The relevant 3GPP specification is TS 26.233 “Transparent end-to-end packet switch streaming service (PSS).” The PSS includes media codecs for video, still images, bitmap graphics, text, audio, and speech.

Locally Stored Clips
Video clips may be downloaded from the internet or copied over from a connected PC. Video files are large compared to still images. The demonstration videos Sony Ericsson has shown on the P800 require approximately 1 Mbyte storage per minute.
Files must be .MP4 having video coded in MPEG-4 Simple Visual Profile
Video files can be stored on the P800, organised into user­defined folders if required. Tapping a filename will start playback.
The user may pause, rewind or fast-forward the playback.
The Video Player will also play audio-only material. (AMR encoded in an MPEG-4 wrapper)
Streaming Support in the P800
The Video Player can be launched from hyperlinks in the Browser or in messages. Content is streamed using RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol) session control according to 3GPP specification.
Audio support is GSM-AMR according to 3GPP
The following video codec support is provided according to 3GPP:
• MPEG-4 Simple Visual Profile Level 0
• H263 Profile 0 Level 10

Messaging
The P800 has integrated messaging which supports SMS, EMS, MMS and E-Mail from a unified MMI. Messages may be addressed using the contacts data and hyperlinks are supported in all message types to create E-Mails, call telephone numbers and navigate directly to web and WAP pages that are referenced in the text.
EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service)
Enhanced Messaging Service (EMS) adds new powerful functionality to the well-known SMS standard. With it, mobile phone users can add life to SMS text messaging in the form of pictures, animations, sound and formatted text. This gives the users new ways to express feelings, moods and personality in SMS messages. As well as messaging, users will enjoy collecting and swapping pictures and ring signals and other melodies, downloading them from the Internet or editing them directly on the phone.
EMS uses existing SMS infrastructure and industry standards, keeping investments to a minimum for operators and providing a familiar user interface and compatibility with existing phones and with other manufacturers.
• With the Short Message Service, a user can send text messages containing up to 160 characters to and from GSM mobile stations (up to 70 characters using Chinese text)
• With concatenated SMS, the user can write a longer message and the P800 will automatically send it using more than one SMS.
•
EMS (Enhanced Messaging Service) enables the user to include graphics, sounds and different fonts as part of a text message, which can then be sent over the normal GSM/SMS service. Such messages may also be received and the extra media objects saved.
• MMS provides true multimedia capability with real pictures, sound and time-based sequencing.
• The E-Mail client supports POP3 and IMAP4 E-Mail and multiple accounts may be set up, for example business and personal.
• Attachment viewers are included for Microsoft Excel, PowerPoint approx. 20 more available from the applications CD­ROM
