Abstract

WAP-enabled telephone handsets have been developed which allow the user to access remote servers. When using a search engine, a search term is prepared off-line and transmitted once the handset has established connection with the search engine server.

Claims

1. A mobile telecommunications device for accessing a server via a wireless telecommunications network, the device being configured to be provided with data by the user prior to establishing a connection with said server, said data comprising information for accessing said server and further information for use by said server, and said device being configured to transmit said further information to said server subsequent to establishing said connection.

2. A device according to claim 1, wherein search engine software is associated with said server.

3. A device according to claim 2, wherein said search engine software is run on said server.

4. A device according to claim 1, wherein said information for accessing said server includes a predefined link to said server.

5. A device according to claim 4, wherein said information for accessing said server includes a command selecting said predefined link.

6. A device according to claim 1, wherein said further information comprises a request to be provided with a response from said server.

7. A device according to claim 6, wherein the device is configured to receive said response.

8. A device according to claim 7, wherein said response includes a link for accessing a web page.

9. A device according to claim 1, wherein said further information comprises a search string for search engine software.

10. A device according to claim 1, wherein said device configured to be provided with said data from said user prior to a session between said device and said server.

11. A device according to claim 1, wherein the device is configured to provide a user interface for receiving said data from the user.

12. A device according to claim 11, wherein said user interface includes a controller for processing said data from the user.

13. A device according to claim 11, wherein said user interface includes keys for entering said data.

14. A device according to claim 11, wherein said user interface includes a display for guiding said user when entering said data.

15. A device according to claim 11, wherein said user interface is configured to provide a menu comprising a plurality of selectable menu items.

16. A device according to claim 15, wherein a first menu item comprises a link for accessing a web page.

17. A device according to claim 16, wherein a second menu item comprises an editor for entering information.

18. A device according to claim 17, wherein said editor is a text editor for entering a search string for search engine software.

19. A device according to claim 1, wherein said device is WAP-enabled.

20. A device according to claim 1 which is a mobile telephone handset.

21. A device according to claim 1 which is a PDA.

22. A method, in a mobile telecommunications device, of accessing a server via a wireless telecommunications network, the method comprising:

said device being provided with data from said user, said data comprising information for accessing said server and further information for use by said server;

establishing a connection with said server and

transmitting said further information to said server subsequent to establishing said connection.
