Abstract

The present invention includes computerized method and apparatus for user interactivity with a network application executing on a server. The method and apparatus includes receiving, via a wireless network, an event message from a mobile device, the event message representing an input from a user interface on the mobile device where the user interface is executing based on a mobile application. The method and apparatus further includes generating data values based on the input in the event message and information relating to the mobile device. Moreover, the method and apparatus includes sending an update message to the mobile device based on the data values for updating a display of the mobile device.

Claims

1. A computerized method of user interactivity with a network application executing on a server, the method comprising:

receiving, via a wireless network, an event message from a mobile device, the event message representing an input from a user interface on the mobile device where the user interface is executing based on a mobile application;

generating data values based on the input in the event message and information relating to the mobile device; and

sending an update message to the mobile device based on the data values for updating a display of the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the mobile device is a mobile phone.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is a tablet computer.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile application is a stand-alone application executable on a mobile device processing platform.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile application is executable based on a user selection of a touchscreen interface on the mobile device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving an event message comprises receiving an event message reporting data entry in a text box in the user interface.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving an event message comprises receiving an event message reporting data entry within a drop down list in the user interface.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein executing application logic comprises generating data values based on the mobile device information comprising information representing hardware, software and/or user interface capabilities of the mobile device.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile application is provided to the mobile device via a third party application source.

10. An apparatus for user interactivity with a network application executing on a server, the apparatus comprising:

a remote processing device operative to receive, via a wireless network, an event message from a mobile device, the event message representing an input from a user interface on the mobile device where the user interface is executing based on a mobile application;

the remote processing device operative to generate data values based on the input in the event message and information relating to the mobile device; and

the remote processing device operative to send an update message to the mobile device based on the data values for updating a display of the mobile device.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the mobile device is a mobile phone.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the mobile device is a tablet computer.

13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the mobile application is a stand-alone application executable on a mobile device processing platform.

14. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the mobile application is executable based on a user selection of a touchscreen interface on the mobile device.

15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein receiving an event message comprises receiving an event message reporting data entry in a text box in the user interface.

16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein receiving an event message comprises receiving an event message reporting data entry within a drop down list in the user interface.

17. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein executing application logic comprises generating data values based on the mobile device information comprising information representing hardware, software and/or user interface capabilities of the mobile device.

18. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the mobile application is provided to the mobile device via a third party application source.
