Abstract
A user terminal with an application customized for terminal-specific properties. Terminal 1 has a version of the customized application. An application server stores ID of the user terminals and/or subscriptions, a template for the customized application and a feature set for several terminal types. Terminal 1 sends Terminal 2 a community message with a link directing Terminal 2 to the application server. Link activation in Terminal 2 initiates a request to the application server that determines an ID and type of Terminal 2 based on the request. Based on the type, the application server determines terminal-specific properties Terminal 2. Based on the template and the terminal-specific properties, the application server creates the customized application having a feature to send the community message to other terminals. The customized application is delivered to Terminal 2.

16. A method for providing a customized application to a plurality of user terminals, wherein the customized application is customized in respect of at least terminal-specific properties and the plurality of user terminals comprises at least a first user terminal and a second user terminal, the first user terminal, which is not the same terminal as the second user terminal, stores a version of the customized application, the method comprising:
-
an application server storing identifying information on the user terminals and/or their associated subscriptions; the application server storing a template for the customized application and a feature set for each of several terminal types; the first user terminal sending a community message to the second user terminal, which is selectable via a user interface of the first user terminal;
wherein the community message comprises a link for directing the second user terminal to a network address of the application server, wherein activation of the link in the second user terminal initiates transmission of a request to the application server for creation of the customized application;the application server determining identifying information of the second user terminal and/or its associated subscription, and a type of the second user terminal based on the request for the customized application; the application server determining the terminal-specific properties based on the determined type of the second user terminal; the application server creating the customized application based on the template and the terminal-specific properties, wherein the customized application comprises a feature to send the community message to at least one further user terminal other than the second user terminal, which is selectable via a user interface of the second user terminal; and inserting the customized application into a set of delivery files for a data communication system and transmitting the set of delivery files to the second user terminal. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 33)
