Abstract

The invention proposes a method for providing a web-service on a mobile device as a web-service provider (ws_provider). The method comprises in an embodiment a step of receiving a request for registering (reqRegService) a web-service from the mobile web-service provider (ws_provider), a step of registering the service (regService), a step of receiving a web-service-request (serviceReq) pertaining to the web-service from a web-service-client (ws_client), and a step of checking, whether a response (chkServiceReqRes) in respect to the web-service-request of the web-service-clients (ws_client) is available from the mobile web-service-provider (ws_provider), and if a response (serviceReqRes) is available forwarding the response (serviceReqRes) towards the web-service-client (ws_client). The method comprises also a step of receiving a request (reqServiceReq) by the mobile web-service-provider (ws_provider) whether a web-service-request (serviceReq) is available, and a step of checking (chkServiceReq), whether a web-service-request (serviceReq) of a web-service-client (ws_client) is available, which could not be responded, if a web-service-request (serviceReq) of a web-service-client (ws_client) which could not be responded is available, forwarding of the web-service-request (serviceReq) towards the mobile web-service-provider (ws_provider). In an alternative embodiment, the invention proposes a method for providing a web-service on a mobile device as a web-service provider (ws_provider). The method comprises a step of receiving a request for registering (reqRegService) a web-service from the mobile web-service provider (ws_provider), a step of registering the service (regService). The method also comprises a step of receiving a request (ServiceReq) from a web-service-client (ws_client), a step of sending an information (infServReq) relating to the presence of a web-service-request (serviceReq) towards the mobile web-service-provider (ws_provider) and in response thereto receiving a request (reqServiceReq) by the mobile web-service-provider (ws_provider) relating to the web-service-request (serviceReq), and a step of sending information relating to the web-service-request (serviceReq) towards the mobile web-service-provider (ws_provider) and in response thereto receiving a response towards said web-service-request (serviceReqRes) for forwarding towards said web-service-client (ws_client).
