White Paper
 
 
T310/T312
6
January 2003
Early Ericsson mobile phones supported a 
proprietary non-polyphonic format called eMelody. 
Due to the musical limitations of eMelody, and as it 
became popular to create, send and download ring 
melodies, Ericsson and Sony Ericsson, together 
with other manufacturers created the more 
advanced non-polyphonic sound format - iMelody.
The development from the iMelody format to the 
MIDI format means a revolution to the sound 
quality. The MIDI files are small, and perfect for 
mobile devices, which has limited storage capacity.
MIDI - Musical Instrument Digital Interface - is a 
specification for a communications protocol 
principally used to control electronic musical 
instruments. MIDI is today a well known standard 
used by musicians, composers, arrangers and so 
forth.
A MIDI signal or file does not contain any music. It 
contains text information as binary data about 
what, when and how an instrument/melody is 
played. When this data reaches a synthesizer, the 
synthesizer translates it into music from the 
following attributes:
What instrument is to be selected and played by 
the synthesizer.
How a melody is played.
When connected to an amplifier with speakers, 
the sound becomes audible.

Imaging
With a digital camera attached to your T310/T312, 
you can take, view, store and send high-quality 
pictures over the air to another mobile phone, as 
MMS messages, or you can send them to an e-mail 
address or Web photo album. Downloading images 
from the Web is another alternative. Thousands of 
on-line image collections already exist on the Web 
and many sites are already gearing up to include 
images for use in mobile phones.
There are various ways to incorporate images and 
other multimedia into your communication. You can 
attach pictures to people listed in your phone book 
and have pictures or icons of the caller identifying 
them in your display.
The pictures are stored in the picture browser in the 
phone. From here, the user can select view, 
thumbnail or full view, as well as keep track of the 
number and size of the pictures stored in the 
phone.
Digital Rights Managements
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a technology 
that enables secure distribution, promotion and 
sale of Digital Media. 
T310 includes implementation of EMS ODI (Object 
distribution Indicator) and MMS limited forwarding 
(Sony Ericsson proprietary forward lock for MMS 
content).
When downloading via WAP, the T310 includes 
support for OMA (Open Mobile Alliance) defined 
DRM solution forward lock, meaning that Content 
is packaged in a DRM package and delivered to 
the device. The support of forward lock means that 
it is not possible to forward the downloaded 
content to any other device. Forward lock is useful 
for all types of content that the provider wants to 
charge for. 
Related information such as the “OMA-Download-
DRM, v1.0” specification can be found at http://
www.openmobilealliance.org/documents.html.
Multimedia Messaging
Reacting to the enormous popularity of mobile 
phone messaging, Sony Ericsson has incorporated 
the latest messaging standard into the T310/T312, 
along with a colour display for an enhanced 
imaging experience.
Say it in words, say it with pictures, animate it, add 
sound. Multimedia birthday and holiday greetings 
are great fun to put together using the T310/T312. 
On vacation, use your mobile phone and 
accessories to send a digital postcard with stylized 
text, digital pictures of where you are, and 
authentic sound clips to friends and family back 
home. If, when shopping, you find something a 
friend might like, you can instantly send a digital 
picture of the item and ask if they like it. 
With MMS, the subscription applications get more 
interesting, for example stock information, movie 
trailers and weather reports.
