Abstract:
The multimedia file retrieval over the Internet has been counted as a popular service on the personal computer. However, the use of the Internet is shifting to the mobile devices especially smartphone. Various types of software have been proposed and sold via the operating system providers, such as iTunes of apple, Play Store of android, marketplace of Microsoft. As a result, the use of multimedia file via smartphone is becoming popular and tends to be general and widely used among users. Unfortunately, the loading system has a common problem which is a long delay during load. Due to the long delay time of the traditional client-server multimedia file retrieval service, the Mobile Cloud System (MCS) is proposed to solve the problem. Cloud computing architecture provides high efficiency of sharing the CPU and memories of different computing devices over the network. Therefore the MCS makes use of the vacant memory of a set of smartphones to shorten the downloading time. With the help of Cloud computing, users can receive multimedia file faster.
