Wireless communication device
First Claim
1. a wireless communication device that has generating means operable to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a plurality of frames, of which at least one frame contains a selectable image element, the device also having a display screen operable to display a frame of the GUI, and input means operable by a user of the device to select a selectable image element from a frame displayed by the display screen, the device being adapted to receive a radio frequency (rf) signal containing a content uniform resource identifier (content URI) specifying a location of content on a server of an internet content provider, and being operable to transmit the content URI to the server via a mobile telephone network, and to receive the content, which is transmitted by the server via the mobile telephone network in response to receipt of the content URI, the generating means being operable, in response to reception by the device of the rf signal containing the content URI, to generate a GUI of which one of the frames includes a selectable image element representative of the internet content provider, characterised in that the device is adapted to receive the rf signal containing the content URI from a short-range rf transmitter operating in accordance with the bluetooth specification.

Abstract
Disclosed is a wireless communication device adapted to receive a radio frequency signal containing a uniform resource identifier (URI) specifying a location of content on a server of an Internet content provider. The device is operable to transmit the URI to the server via a mobile telephone network and receive content transmitted by the server in response to reception of the URI, and to generate a GUI of which a frame includes a selectable image element representative of the Internet content provider. Also disclosed is a computer program executable by such a wireless communication device to cause the device, in response to reception of a URI, to generate a GUI of which a frame includes a selectable element representative of an Internet content provider.

- 17. A computer program executable by a wireless communication device, the program comprising instructions to cause the device to generate a GUI comprising a plurality of frames and to display one of the frames, to cause the device to determine whether an rf signal received by the device contains a content URI specifying a location of content on a server of an Internet content provider, and to transmit the content URI via a mobile telephone network to the server, the program further comprising instructions to cause the device to generate a GUI of which one of the frames includes a selectable image element representative of the Internet content provider, characterised in that the program further comprises instructions to cause the device to determine whether an rf signal received by the device contains user preference data associated with the content URI, to cause the device to compare the user preference data with a user preference profile stored in the device, generate a user interest value associated with the content URI, and to cause the device to generate the GUI that includes the selectable image element representative of the Internet content provider only if the user interest value exceeds a threshold value stored in the device.
