Abstract

A software architecture, data model, and access protocol to facilitate real time, session-based access to server-based data from low bandwidth wireless computing devices.

Claims

1. A software architecture for wireless data, comprising

a wireless data receiving and transmitting device application;

a server for processing requests from said wireless device application;

a software module running on said server for detecting the type of wireless device and for routing requests from the wireless device application to said server through a software module implementing the functionality of a particular application for the wireless device type.

2. A method of communicating wireless data, comprising the steps of:

generating a request at a wireless device;

detecting the type of wireless device which generated said request and routing said request to a server through a software module which implements the functionality of a particular application for the wireless device type;

processing said request at said server and generating a response to siad request.
