A study on the WIPI-to-iOS converter using resource converter and platform mapping engine

Abstract

This WIPI (Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability) is legislated by KWISF (Korea Wireless Internet Standardization Forum) and a standardized standard chosen by KTTA (Korea Telecommunications Technology Association) as an application program execution environment for mobile communication platforms. The iOS platform developed by Apple is the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, continually redefining what people can do with a mobile device. Due to the use of different smart phone platforms, more game developers must create content designed specifically for each platform or do a conversion process to provide game content to consumers. In this paper, to resolve this problem, the WIPI-to-iOS automatic smart content converter was designed to automatically convert contents from the WIPI platform to the iOS platform for smart phones. Through the WIPI-to-iOS converter, resources such as images and sounds can be converted, APIs can be converted using a platform mapping engine. Test results indicate that the graphics, image output, sound output, and other functions of converted iOS games were equivalent to those of the WIPI games before conversion. © Research India Publications.
