Web server resident on a mobile computing device
First Claim
1. A mobile computing device comprising a web server;
- wherein the web server is capable of converting application specific data from a binary data format optimised for the device to a first agreed format which is a standard format not optimised for the device, in order to enable both (i) an application A, running on the mobile computing device and which can handle the standard format and also (ii) an application B, running on a further device remotely connected to the mobile computing device and which can also handle the standard format, to read the application specific data stored on the mobile computing device.

Abstract
A mobile computing device comprising a web server; wherein the web server is capable of converting application specific data from a binary data format optimised for the device to a first agreed format which is a standard format not optimised for the device, in order to enable both (i) an application A, running on the mobile computing device and which can handle the standard format and also (ii) an application B, running on a further device remotely connected to the mobile computing device and which can also handle the standard I format, to read the application specific data stored on the mobile computing device. Converting application specific data stored on the mobile computing device in a native, proprietary binary format into an agreed standards based format, such as a mark-up language like HTML, makes that application specific data fully portable, a major advantage whilst mobile networks are expensive, and have reliability and latency issues.

15. A method of enabling an application A running on a mobile computing device and an application B running on a further device which is remotely connected to the mobile computing device to read application specific data which is stored on the mobile computing device, comprising the step of:
converting, at a web server resident on the mobile computing device, the application specific data from a binary data format optimised for the device to a first agreed format which is a standard format not optimised for the device but which can be handled by both applications A and B. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
