Automatic mobile device configuration
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a mobile communication device, said method comprising:
- receiving a request for registration of a mobile communication device;
determining an identity of a user associated with said mobile communication device;
determining a set of N server-side applications associated with said identity of said user,where N is an integer greater than one; and
automatically, for each of said N server-side applications;
generating a document in a markup language, said document for configuring said mobile communication device to access said server-side application; and
transmitting said document to said mobile communication device.

Abstract
A remote wireless device registers with a server. Responsively, the server determines the identity of a server-side application associated with a user of the remote wireless device. The server may then generate an application definition file specific to the server-side application and to the remote wireless device. The application definition file may contain definitions for: a user interface format; a format for network messages; and a format for storing data. Using these definitions, the wireless device may receive data generated by the server-side application and formatted in accordance with the definitions. The wireless device may then present a user interface for the server-side application. The application definition file may be an Extensible Markup Language (XML) file. Advantageously, configuration of devices is more efficiently accomplished.
