Abstract

A relatively very fast and scalable algorithm, preferably in the form of software residing on a server, is provided for transmitting data in the form of equations or database input to and from small palm OS, pocket PCs, handheld PCs, web enabled phones or convergence devices such as web enabled phones with complete PDA systems built into the phone. The server based algorithm is efficient precisely because it minimizes information through put to and from the PDA. An integral part of the server is a “front end” page, referred to as WDIE feather, where the page is carefully derived not on the basis of “content” but on the basis of “context” which provides the minimum and necessary information to the user.

Claims

1. A method for providing relatively faster throughput for higher speed, wireless Internet access for a mobile device, said method comprising the steps of:

(a) displaying an input page transmitted from a remote server on a screen of a wireless mobile device;

(b) wirelessly transmitting input data entered on the input page to the remote server;

(c) processing the transmitted data at the remote server; and

(d) displaying an output page on the screen of the wireless mobile device based on the transmitted input data.

2. The method for providing relatively faster throughput of claim 1 wherein step (c) comprises the step of running the inputted data through one or more equations stored within a database and creating an output file of the result.

3. The method for providing relatively faster throughput of claim 1 further comprising the step of formatting the output page to fit the screen of the wireless mobile device.

4. The method for providing relatively faster throughput of claim 1 further comprising the step of generating HTML code for the output page prior to step (d).

5. The method for providing relatively faster throughput of claim 2 wherein said output file further including additional text and/or photos.

6. A computer implemented process for calculating a result and displaying the result on a wireless mobile device, said computer implemented process comprising the steps of:

(a) displaying a discrete input page transmitted from a remote server to a screen of a wireless mobile device;

(b) entering input data by a user on the input page;

(c) wirelessly transmitting the entered input data to the remote server;

(d) processing the transmitted data at the remote server;

(e) creating a discrete output page at the remote server based on the user entered input data; and

(f) returning the output page by the remote server for displaying on the screen of the wireless mobile device.

7. The computer implemented process of claim 6 wherein steps (d) and (e) comprise the step of running the inputted data through one or more equations stored within a database and creating an output file of the result.

8. The computer implemented process of claim 6 further comprising the step of formatting the output page to fit the screen of the wireless mobile device.

9. The computer implemented process of claim 6 further comprising the step of generating HTML code for the output page prior to step (f).

10. A computer implemented process for calculating a result and displaying the result on a wireless mobile device, said computer implemented process comprising the steps of:

(a) displaying a discrete input page transmitted from a remote server to a screen of a wireless mobile device;

(b) entering input data by a user on the input page;

(c) wirelessly transmitting the entered input data to the remote server;

(d) processing the transmitted data at the remote server;

(e) creating a discrete output page at the remote server based on the user entered input data;

(f) returning the output page by the remote server for displaying on the screen of the wireless mobile device; and

(g) formatting the output page to fit the screen of the wireless mobile device.

11. The computer implemented process of claim 10 wherein steps (d) and (e) comprise the step of running the inputted data through one or more equations stored within a database and creating an output file of the result and generating HTML code for the output page.
