ABSTRACT
Web use on mobile phones is increasing day by day. Various web applications and services are emerging on mobile phones. One such application is consuming multimedia - Audio and Video (AV) - on mobile devices. We have been working on an application that enables a user to perform content-based search for AV content in large digital archives and play the streamed content on a mobile phone. The search is not only possible in meta data but the application is intelligent enough that it also searches in spoken words and shows the context of spoken words in the clip so that user can immediately watch the particular part of the clip where these words were spoken. The paper describes the application features. The paper also describes the preliminary results of a field trial study with 150 users from the perspectives of the real usage of the application and its web features. We mainly relied on quantitative methods used during the study for the analysis in the form of log data of the application. The main goal of the field trial study was to examine the acceptability of the mobile multimedia streaming application by consumers.
