Abstract
A mobile information handling system (IHS) includes an application (app) that may include a unique-identification tool and a device capability determination tool. The unique-identification tool may generate a signature string that is unique to the mobile IHS. The device capability determination tool may determine the hardware capability of the mobile IHS, the network capability of the mobile IHS and the capability of a network between the mobile IHS and a server IHS, and generate a device determination therefrom. The app may transmit the signature string and the device determination to a server IHS. In response to the signature string and device determination that the server IHS receives, the server IHS may generate and transmit a corresponding response containing specific data to the mobile IHS. The app may output the specific data by displaying the specific data on a display of the mobile IHS.
