| GSM based Short Messaging System (SMS) is one of the
hottest new technologies in the mobile world. The trend towards text messaging
has continually increased and teenagers represent pioneers in this arena. With
this in mind, VeriPark conceived PlayList and an SMS Chat business plan, backed
by a software application that would create a new line of applications in
Turkey. This project was presented to both Turkcell and Number 1 TV and after
careful consideration was accepted.
VeriPark developed Number 1 PlayList, an SMS message based voting application,
in which millions of teenagers participate interactively to determine the songs
that will be played. Audiences select the song they want to be played from a
list broadcast on TV and send their selection via SMS to a pre-designated
service number. If they wish, they can also include a short text message.
Songs and voting results are broadcast live. The song that receives the most
points is played and the accompanying text messages are displayed to viewers.
SMS Chat is another SMS based application where participating audience members
create a nick name and send their SMS messages by that nick name to a
pre-designated service number. These messages are broadcasted on TV. Audiences
reply to the same number by their nick name for the messages in which they are
interested. Using the black list feature, users can block the nicknames from
which they do not want to receive a message.
VeriPark developed the solution architecture building on its mTalk Server
application. The gateway, developed by VeriPark, is a high volume content
delivery platform for mobile applications and works as the primary platform for
all of VeriPark's mobile projects ranging from TV game shows to mobile
marketing.
The gateway communicates with the TELCO operators SMSC software using native
protocols. It provides high volume data transfer and is designed to support
multiple SMSCs of multiple operators.
Using VeriPark technology, Number 1 TV runs its weekend late night shows,
creating a mobile community of music loving teenagers who chat using SMS .
Number 1 TV also manages a high volume of SMS traffic avoiding all potential
volume related problems. This VeriPark developed application has greatly
increased Number 1 TV's ratings.
