First Claim
1. A two-way data communication system for communication between a computer and a two-way data communication device selected from a group consisting of a cellular telephone, a two-way pager, and a telephone, said two-way data communication system comprising:
- a two-way data communication network;
a server computer comprising;
a two-way data communication interface module coupled to said two-way data communication network; and
a server coupled to said two-way data communication interface module;
wherein said server receives a message including a resource locator from said two-way data communication network, and said resource locator includes an address of said server;
said server processes said message using said resource locator; and
said server transmits a response to said message over said two-way data communication network;
a two-way data communication device coupled to said two-way data communication network wherein said two-way data communication device is selected from the group consisting of a cellular telephone, a two-way pager, and a telephone, and further wherein said two-way data communication device further comprises;
a network interface module coupled to said two-way data communication network; and
an client module coupled to said network interface module;
wherein said client module transmits said message including said resource locator to said server over said two-way data communication network; and
said client module processes said response to said message from said server wherein said response includes information for user interaction over said two-way data communication network.

Abstract
A two-way data communication device such as a data ready cellular telephone, a two-way pager, or a telephone communicates via a two-way data communication network with a server computer on a computer network that has an interface to the two-way data communication network, i.e., is coupled to the two-way data communication network. For example, the computer network can be a corporate wide area network, a corporate local area network, the Internet, or any combination of computer networks. The two-way data communication device utilizes a client module to transmit message including a resource selector chosen by the user to a server on a server computer on the computer network. The server processes the message and transmits a response over the two-way data communication network to the client module. The client module interprets the response and presents the response to the user via a structured user interface. Alternatively, the user transmits a request that directs the server to transmit the response to the request to another location or to another user.
