Mobile Device and Capabilities Detection
The Mobile Advertising Solution provides accurate and robust features to determine the specific device type and capabilities of the device performing each request from among the thousands of mobile device types and hundreds of different capabilities. When the mobile device type is detected, the following capabilities can be used in edge logic to make decisions about processing the request, or they can be returned to the customer for their use.
Capabilities that can be detected include:
- Screen size and resolution
- Orientation
- Touch screen support
- Operating system
- Streaming capabilities and supported codecs
- Video player support
- HTTPS and support for other security features
- Audio capabilities
- JavaScript support
- Java VM support
- (X)HTML support

- CSS capabilities
- Flash / Flash light support
- SMS / MMS capabilities
- PDF support

Usually, the first step in delivering the appropriate content and generating the appropriate actions based on a specific mobile device type is accurate device and capability detection. For example, whether the device supports certain image, audio, and video formats may affect the actions that execute in response to the request. The Mobile Advertising Solution utilizes the largest and most accurate mobile device database available to maximize device detection accuracy.
