1. A method for facilitating access to previously stored information on a computer network by a user of a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving data representing the information from a data provider through a base system interface;
storing a data object representing the data in a database;
associating the data object with the user within the database;
associating the data object with a select one of two or more data object types wherein the selected data object type specifies the type of the data object;
parsing the data into one or more portions, each of which corresponds to the one or more data attributes defined for the selected data object type;
receiving a request from the user for retrieval of the data through a mobile system interface; and
sending the data to the user through the mobile system interface in accordance with one or more data attributes defined for the selected data object type;
wherein the request is a numerical identifier of the data object entered by the user through a mobile device coupled to the mobile system interface; and
wherein storing the data object includes storing the one or more portions organized according to the data attributes defined for the selected data object type.

Abstract
Data objects are organized into attributes and can be acted upon using predefined actions and associated types to greatly simplify user accessibility to such data objects through the limited user interface and bandwidth capabilities of a mobile device. Each data object is associated with a numerical identifier such that the user can easily identify a data object of interest using the limited data entry capabilities of the typical mobile device.
