Method and apparatus in a wireless communication system for splitting a browser functionality between a wireless client and an infrastructure portion
First Claim
1. A method in a wireless communication system for splitting a browser functionality between a wireless client and an infrastructure portion of the wireless communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
- sending, to the wireless client by the infrastructure portion, a response from a server to an earlier request originated by the wireless client, the response modified by the infrastructure portion to comprise a placeholder for an additional data element needed to complete the response;
originating, by the infrastructure portion without a need for a further request from the wireless client, a request to the server for the additional data element; and
forwarding, by the infrastructure portion, the additional data element to the wireless client when received from the server.

Abstract
A browser functionality is split between a wireless client (122) and an infrastructure portion (102) of a wireless communication system. The infrastructure portion sends (412) to the wireless client a response from a server (124) to an earlier request originated (404) by the wireless client, the response modified by the infrastructure portion to comprise a placeholder for an additional data element needed to complete the response. Without a need for a further request from the wireless client, the infrastructure portion then originates (414) a request to the server for the additional data element and forwards (418) the additional data element to the wireless client when received from the server.

15. A portable subscriber unit in a wireless communication system for splitting a browser functionality between the portable subscriber unit and an infrastructure portion of the wireless communication system, the portable subscriber unit comprising:
-
a transceiver for communicating with the infrastructure portion; a processing system coupled to the transceiver for controlling the transceiver; and a user interface coupled to the processing system for interfacing with a user, wherein the processing system is programmed to; receive, through the infrastructure portion, a response from a server to an earlier request originated by the portable subscriber unit, the response modified by the infrastructure portion to comprise a placeholder for an additional data element needed to complete the response; rely upon the infrastructure portion to originate, without a need for a further request from the portable subscriber unit, a request to the server for the additional data element; and accept from the infrastructure portion the additional data element when received from the server. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
