Use of Cell Phone for Retrieval of Multimedia Information from Web Sources

The multimedia retrieval systems are based on computers and internet which restrict the user mobility. Cell phone is a pervasive device but a lot of cell phone models specifically, being used in Asia, do not have General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) facility. Voice calls are an alternative solution for these models to access the internet by spoken query and getting results in spoken form. Voice XML provides voice user interface technology. A multimedia information retrieval system from web by using cell phones is presented in this paper by using the interface technology. Web documents were indexed in the server’s database to get the results which are satisfactory. Further work can be done to reduce noise parameter which affects the user query.
