Device-specific communicating between a transmitting device and a receving device
First Claim
1. A method for communicating between a transmitting device and a receiving device, wherein the communication is initiated by a request for specific data from a data source, and the communication comprising conversion of source data in a first format as output from the transmitting device into a second, device-specific format to be received by the receiving device, said method comprising the steps of inline:
- receiving data in the first format from the server, converting the source data from the first format into data in the second format where the conversion is a two step process and is comprised of at least the following two separated steps converting the data from the first format into an intermediate, device-independent, standardized format using content-specific conversion rules, manually created for each application, relating the first format to the intermediate format converting the data in the intermediate format into a device-specific, second format using general rules relating the intermediate format to the device-specific, second format forwarding the data in the second format to the client

14. A system for wireless communication of data between an external content source and a mobile device with Internet capabilities equipped with a browser, comprising a converter for inline conversion of data in a first format as output from the external content source into a second, device-specific format to be received by the device or for conversion of data in the second, device-specific format into data in the first format, said system comprising:
-
receiving means for receiving the data in the first format, a database for storing and retrieving a conversion scheme, a converter for converting the data based on a conversion scheme comprised of at least the following two separated conversion steps;
converting the data from the first format into an intermediate, device-independent format using content-specific selection rules, manually created for each application, relating the first format to the intermediate format. converting the data in the intermediate format into a device-specific, second format using general rules relating the intermediate format to the device-specific, second format and transmitting means for transmitting the converted data
