Abstract

An application generation system, method and machine readable medium are disclosed. A repository is used to store user data in an electronic wallet. Upon creation of an electronic wallet in the repository, the application generation system is operative to generate an application, the application being linked to the electronic wallet and arranged to access the contents of the electronic wallet to fulfill actions initiated via the application.

Claims

1. An application generation system comprising a repository for storing user data in an electronic wallet, wherein upon creation of an electronic wallet in the repository, the application generation system is operative to generate an application, the application being linked to the electronic wallet and arranged to access the contents of the electronic wallet to fulfill actions initiated via the application.

2. A system according to claim 1, further comprising a user interface arranged to accept data for creating the electronic wallet from a first platform, wherein the application is arranged to operate on a second platform.

3. A system according to claim 2, wherein the first and second platforms are of different platform types.

4. A system according to claim 2, wherein the application generation system is arranged to communicate with the second platform to enable installation of the application on the second platform.

5. A system according to claim 4, wherein the second platform is a mobile telephone.

6. A system according to claim 5, wherein the application generation system is arranged to communicate a location of the application to the second platform via a simple messaging service message.

7. A system according to claim 1, wherein the application is arranged to connect to a database of products and/or services and provide e-commerce functionality, the wallet storing address and payment data associated with the user for fulfillment of transactions initiated using the application.

8. A system according to claim 7, wherein the wallet is created upon completion of a transaction on a web site.

9. A system according to claim 1, wherein the application comprises an email client, the wallet including user data and access data for one or more email accounts associated with the user, the system further comprising an intermediary arranged to accept instructions from the application and access one or more of the email accounts using data in said wallet on behalf of the user.

10. A system according to claim 1, wherein the application comprises a remote computer system access system, the wallet including user access data for accessing a remote computer system, the system further comprising an intermediary arranged to accept instructions from the application, access the remote computer system using data in said wallet, relay screen data from said remote computer system to said application and relay remote control commands from said application to said remote computer system.

11. A method of generating a computer application comprising:

storing user data in an electronic wallet; and

,

generating an application dependent on the electronic wallet, wherein the application is linked to the electronic wallet and arranged to access the contents of the electronic wallet to fulfill actions initiated via the application.

12. A method according to claim 11, further comprising:

accepting data for creating the electronic wallet from a first platform, wherein the application is arranged to operate on a second platform.

13. A method according to claim 12, further comprising:

communicating with the second platform to enable installation of the application on the second platform.

14. A method according to claim 11, further comprising:

creating the wallet upon completion of a transaction on a web site.

15. A method according to claim 11, further comprising:

downloading the application onto a first platform;

running the application on the first platform;

inputting data for creating the electronic wallet into the application at the first platform; and

,

transmitting the electronic wallet to a repository.

16. A machine readable medium having stored thereon a computer program, said computer program comprising a set of instructions which, when executed, cause the machine to perform the steps of:

storing user data in an electronic wallet; and

,

generating an application dependent on the electronic wallet, wherein the application is linked to the electronic wallet and arranged to access the contents of the electronic wallet to fulfill actions initiated via the application.

17. A machine readable medium according to claim 16, further comprising instructions which, when executed, cause the machine to perform the steps of:

accepting data for creating the electronic wallet from a first platform, wherein the application is arranged to operate on a second platform.

18. A machine readable medium according to claim 17, further comprising instructions which, when executed, cause the machine to perform the steps of:

communicating with the second platform to enable installation of the application on the second platform.

19. A machine readable medium according to claim 16, further comprising instructions which, when executed, cause the machine to perform the steps of:

creating the wallet upon completion of a transaction on a web site.

20. A machine readable medium according to claim 16, further comprising instructions which, when executed, cause the machine to perform the steps of:

downloading the application onto a first platform;

running the application on the first platform;

accepting data for creating the electronic wallet into the application at the first platform; and

,

transmitting the electronic wallet to a repository.
