Abstract
A method and device are disclosed for reporting capability of a mobile device, in order to improve experiences of the user of the mobile device. This capability reporting is accomplished by a web service that makes available a device profile from a device profile repository located within the mobile device. The web service utilizes reverse hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) binding for simple object access protocol (SOAP). Enhanced content is subsequently received at the mobile device, such as content in an improved format, and the enhanced content is based at least partly upon the capability of the mobile device disclosed by the web service. If a characteristic of the mobile device changes, thereby causing a modification of the capability of the mobile device for accepting a type of enhanced content, an update signal is sent to the device profile. The device profile is a user agent profile or variation thereof.
