Realeyes3D Puts Camera Phones to Work in Japan

PARIS, France, and TOKYO, Japan, October 11 /PRNewswire/ -- - Mobile Imaging Pioneer and Leading Carrier Field-Test Camera Phone-Based Document Scanning for Mission Critical Enterprise Applications
Realeyes3D, the pioneer of handwritten messaging and an early leader in embedded mobile imaging applications and wireless data services for camera phone users, today announced that it has undertaken an extensive technology evaluation and field trial of its Digitizer3(TM) ("Digitizer cubed") Mobile Scanning service for enterprise applications with DoCoMo Technology, Inc. DoCoMo Technology, the technology innovation arm of NTT DoCoMo, is currently evaluating and field-testing Digitizer3, the first commercially available mobile document scanning service, launched by Realeyes3D in March 2005. Digitizer3 transforms high resolution camera phones into mobile scanners, fax machines, and photocopiers. With Digitizer3, mobile camera phone users can instantly scan and send a copy of any document to a fax machine or an email account, in just a couple of clicks.


Early on, DoCoMo Technology identified the unique value of Digitizer3 Mobile Scanning and sought to validate the technology for robustness and its potential to address the need for long-awaited mobile fax and document scanning services and applications for mobile professionals, using camera phones. Realeyes3D and DoCoMo Technology have built and started extensive testing of an end-to-end mobile document scanning service using Docomo 3G phones, with resolutions ranging from 1.3 to 3 mega pixels, and the NTT DoCoMo 3G network. The multi-month trial is aimed at confirming the relevance and impact of the Digitizer3 technology when used in mission-critical applications. A world premiere, Digitizer3 enables a new breed of high-ROI mobile applications that generate substantial, incremental data traffic and revenue for wireless carriers. DoCoMo Technology is planning to present the outcome of the trial in November 2005.
"We have been looking for this type of technology for some time, and are constantly seeking new ways to create value for our subscribers and enterprise clients, big and small. Digitizer3 is a unique cutting-edge application and represents a great opportunity for wireless carriers to create new data services and leverage the millions of camera phones in the market," commented Masato Mori, Senior Manager, Corporate Strategy Planning Department, DoCoMo Technology.
For millions of mobile camera phone users, Digitizer3 Mobile Scanning brings a breakthrough in personal productivity. It transforms the camera phone into a mobile scanner, fax machine and photocopier, and places it in the pocket of mobile professionals. Just as email has been "mobilized" with push email solutions in recent past, Digitizer3 transports the universal business task of document reproduction and transfers it onto the mobile network. For wireless carriers, Digitizer3 Mobile Scanning delivers new, mission-critical data services by extending the mobile office offering for professionals beyond email and SMS, with mobile fax, scan-to-email, photocopying, and document management. Both professional users and consumers can enjoy the flexibility and freedom of being untied to the office for everyday tasks such as scanning, photocopying and faxing.
"Our work with DoCoMo Technology is proof that mobile imaging can be brought beyond simple photography into the realm of high-value services for camera phone users, either professional or consumers," commented Benoit Bergeret, CEO, Realeyes3D. "As a pioneer in such applications, we are pleased to be working with the market leader in Japan, the birthplace of the camera phone, where users are actively seeking new ways to optimize personal productivity with their mobile devices. We look forward to helping DoCoMo Technology build one of the first truly useful, quick-ROI applications, based on camera phones."
Based on patented image processing technologies developed over several years by Realeyes3D, Digitizer3 overcomes the challenges of real-world optical document acquisition, simply and quickly, by ensuring that the resulting scanned image is on par with the quality of office based faxing or scanning. It also provides a fully automated user experience, a key to mass-market adoption of mobile applications, such as those that are being developed and tested by DoCoMo Technology.
