Fraunhofer FIRST will present TPEG™-services for mobile devices at the CeBIT 2011

At the CeBIT, Fraunhofer FIRST will demonstrate the implementation of TPEG services on mobile devices (Android), for the first time ever.

The mobile implementation is based on Fraunhofer FIRST’s TPEGTM DEKODER KIT. TPEGTM data can be received, decoded and analyzed with this software package. With little memory requirements, it facilitates the management of TPEGTM messages and makes them available to subsequent applications (navigation, travel guides, etc.). Intelligent processes reduce system requirements when decoding the binary TPEGTM protocol. The decoding depth is tailored to the respective application, i.e. only data necessary for the application are decoded. The remainder is neither processed nor stored.
