Method and architecture for an interactive two-way data communication network
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A method for a two-way communication device having a display and an input interface to interact with a data network, the method comprising:
- sending a request to a server across a wireless link for access to a resource on said data network, using a resource locator identifying said resource;
receiving over said wireless link a response from said server, said response resulting from said server accessing and transforming said resource to be more compatible with at least one of the two-way communication device and the wireless link, said response including a set of linked pages; and
displaying a display screen on said display based on at least one of the pages; and
allowing a user of the two-way communication device to move among said pages using a user input interface without sending an additional request.

Abstract
A two-way data communication device such as a data ready cellular telephone, a two-way pager, or a telephone communicates via a two-way data communication network with a server computer on a computer network that has an interface to the two-way data communication network, i.e, is coupled to the two-way data communication network. For example, the computer network can be a corporate wide area network, a corporate local-area network, the Internet, or any combination of computer networks. The two-way data communication device utilizes a client module to transmit message including a resource selector chosen by the user to a server on a server computer on the computer network. The server processes the message and transmits a response over the two-way data communication network to the client module. The client module interprets the response and presents the response to the user via a structured user interface. Alternatively, the user transmits a request that directs the server to transmit the response to the request to another location or to another user.
