Abstract

A method of transmitting information over a wireless network and representing the information by using a mobile transceiver station as well as a data carrier are described, wherein information is offered and transmitted in a scalable form for the requirements of a mobile transceiver station. A scaling of the information is selected, depending on the arrangement for representation of information of the mobile transceiver station, inputs by the user being taken into account. WAP is used for transmission of the information data. A mobile transceiver station signals which scalings are to be transmitted. Advertising in various scalings is used for billing for services used.

Claims

1. A method of transmitting information over a wireless network and representing the information in a multimedia form by using a mobile transceiver station, comprising:

generating the information in a plurality of alternative scalings;

transmitting the information over the wireless network to the mobile transceiver station in the plurality of alternative scalings adapted to the wireless network;

assigning a mark to each of the plurality of alternative scalings of the information;

selecting a suitable scaling among the plurality of alternative scalings in accordance with an arrangement for representing the information in the mobile transceiver station; and

scaling the information as a function of the arrangement for representing the information in the mobile transceiver station.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising:

determining the multimedia form of the information by the arrangement for representing the information, according to user inputs.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein a Wireless Application Protocol is used for transmission of the information.

4. The method according to claim 3, wherein the information is reformatted by the Wireless Application Protocol for transmission over the wireless network.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein advertising is used as part of the information to be represented for billing for data received by the mobile transceiver station.

6. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

creating the billing as a function of the selected scaling.
