Prefueled Tank --- Technical Brief

Overview

The Prefueled tank will make it possible for users to buy music and video direct in a store and transfer the files to their own media device, such as mobile phone or media player.

The tank consists mainly on a touch-screen which allows the users to navigate in the Prefueled shop and browse the full Prefueled catalogue of music and videos.

Hardware requirements

Inside the Tank there will be a normal Intel based PC running the operation system Windows XP. The system will be altered to an embedded version,which will bring up the music store automatically on boot.

On the tank there will be different media slots build in the physical tank design. These are connected through the USB standard. Furthermore there will be a credit card reader to make the shop more user-friendly.

The media slots will make it possible to use both Memory Stick Pro, Memory Stick Micro, MiniSD, MMC and others. A CD slot will make it possible to burn CDs in the store. Bluetooth will make from the Prefueled Tank.

The PC will be connected to the inernet through an Ethernet cable or by wireless LAN. The connection required will be a broadband ADSL or SDSL with at least 8 mbit.

Device compability

Using both the Windows Media Digital Rights Management (WMA/WMV) and OMA DRM we will reach a larger user base. Mainly home computers and mobile MP3 players such as the Creative player use the WM DRM. OMA on the other hand is used by phone manufactures such as Nokia, Samsung etc.

OMA DRM exists in version 1.0 and 2.0, where the latest version allows more sophisticated DRM options. OMA DRM 1.0 has been implemented in over 400 phone models. Many mobile operators (e.g. Vodafone, SFR, Turkcell, Vivo) use OMA DRM for their content services. The first OMA DRM 2.0 implenmentations in mobile phones were released early 2006 (e.g. the Nokia N91 and Sony Ericsson W850i). Software implementations for PC and PDA clients are also available. Most of the ringtones pre-installed on Nokia phones have implemented DRM.
