Abstract

A user may be presented with a set of groups at a first computing device. Each group is for containing a set of markup language documents to which access by wireless computing devices is granted or denied as a whole. The markup language documents may define wireless computing device operation for presenting data from a remote application, and may be generated by the first computing device. A user selection of one or more groups to which a markup language document is to be added is made. The selection is communicated to a remote computing device along with the markup language document. The remote computing device may add the markup language document to each group of the user selection, for example by updating a database.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving a user request to store at a remote computing device a markup language document;

presenting to a user a set of groups, each of said groups for containing a set of markup language documents to which access by wireless computing devices is granted or denied as a whole;

receiving a user selection of one or more of said groups to which said markup language document is to be added; and

communicating said user selection and said markup language document to said remote computing device.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said markup language document defines wireless computing device operation for presenting data from a remote application.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving an indication of said set of groups from said remote computing device.

4. The method of claim 3 further comprising requesting said indication of a set of groups from said remote computing device prior to said receiving said indication of said set of groups from said remote computing device.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein said requesting comprises invoking a Web service.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein said markup language document defines:

a format of a user interface for the remote application at said wireless computing device;

a format of network messages for exchange of data generated by said remote application; and

a format for storing data related to said remote application at said wireless computing device.

7. A computer-implemented method comprising:

providing to a remote computing device an indication of a set of groups, each of said groups for containing a set of markup language documents to which access by wireless computing devices is granted or denied as a whole;

receiving from said remote computing device;

a markup language document;

a selection of one or more of said groups to which said markup language document is to be added; and

adding said markup language document to each group of said selection.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein said markup language document defines wireless computing device operation for presenting data from a remote application.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein said adding comprises creating at least one entry in a database to associate said markup language document with said each group.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein said creating at least one entry in a database comprises creating one entry per said each group in a table of said database.

11. The method of claim 7 wherein said markup language document defines:

a format of a user interface for the remote application at said wireless computing device;

a format of network messages for exchange of data generated by said remote application; and

a format for storing data related to said remote application at said wireless computing device.

12. The method of claim 7 wherein said providing is performed by a Web service.

13. A machine-readable medium comprising:

machine-executable code for receiving a user request to store at a remote computing device a markup language document;

machine-executable code for presenting to a user a set of groups, each of said groups for containing a set of markup language documents to which access by wireless computing devices is granted or denied as a whole;

machine-executable code for receiving a user selection of one or more of said groups to which said markup language document is to be added; and

machine-executable code for communicating said user selection and said markup language document to said remote computing device.

14. The machine-readable medium of claim 13 wherein said markup language document defines wireless computing device operation for presenting data from a remote application

15. The machine-readable medium of claim 13 further comprising machine-executable code for receiving an indication of said set of groups from said remote computing device.

16. The machine-readable medium of claim 15 further comprising machine-executable code for requesting said indication of a set of groups from said remote computing device prior to said receiving said indication of said set of groups from said remote computing device.

17. The machine-readable medium of claim 16 wherein said machine-executable code for requesting comprises machine-executable code for invoking a Web service.

18. The machine-readable medium of claim 13 wherein said markup language document defines:

a format of a user interface for the remote application at said wireless computing device;

a format of network messages for exchange of data generated by said remote application; and

a format for storing data related to said remote application at said wireless computing device.

19. A machine-readable medium comprising:

machine-executable code for providing to a remote computing device an indication of a set of groups, each of said groups for containing a set of markup language documents to which access by wireless computing devices is granted or denied as a whole;

machine-executable code for receiving from said remote computing device;

a markup language document; and

a selection of one or more of said groups to which said markup language document is to be added; and

machine-executable code for adding said markup language document to each group of said selection.

20. The machine-readable medium of claim 19 wherein said markup language document defines wireless computing device operation for presenting data from a remote application.

21. The machine-readable medium of claim 19 wherein said machine-executable code for adding comprises machine-executable code for creating at least one entry in a database to associate said markup language document with said each group.

22. The machine-readable medium of claim 21 wherein said machine-executable code for creating at least one entry in a database comprises machine-executable code for creating one entry per said each group in a table of said database.

23. The machine-readable medium of claim 19 wherein said markup language document defines:

a format of a user interface for the remote application at said wireless computing device;

a format of network messages for exchange of data generated by said remote application; and

a format for storing data related to said remote application at said wireless computing device.

24. The machine-readable medium of claim 19 wherein said machine-executable code for providing comprises a Web service.
