Abstract

A control unit for a mobile telephone includes a Web server adapted to connect to a Web browser in the mobile telephone, wherein the Web server receives information and provides the information to the Web browser when connected to the Web browser.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

executing a web server in a mobile telephone for internet applications; and

executing a web browser in the mobile telephone that is configured to utilize first information,

wherein the web server in the mobile telephone is configured to facilitate a providing of the first information,

wherein the first information comprises information based on data obtained by the mobile telephone via an air interface for cellular communications from a service provider external to the mobile telephone;

wherein the mobile telephone is further configured to transmit via the air interface second information in response to receipt by the mobile telephone of a request from an external client via the air interface for the second information, wherein the web server is configured to facilitate providing the second information; and

wherein the mobile telephone further comprises a GPS system, the GPS system comprising a GPS receiver and an antenna for receiving GPS satellite signals.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein one or more servers in the mobile telephone, including a GPS server, are connected to the web server via a common gateway interface.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile telephone comprises more than one server, and wherein the more than one server are configured to interact with each other.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the first information comprises location-related information.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second information comprises a location of a user of the mobile telephone.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the second information comprises a location of the mobile telephone.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the second information comprises location information based on data from the GPS system of the mobile telephone.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the web browser in the mobile telephone is connected to the web server in the mobile telephone.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the web browser is configured to receive third information from the web server;

wherein the third information is based on information obtained by the web server from a further server in the mobile telephone; and

wherein the first information, the second information, and the third information comprise location-related information.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile telephone is configured for guiding and monitoring a vehicle.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the mobile telephone is configured for monitoring a medical condition of a patient.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium carrying one or more sequences of one or more instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a mobile telephone for internet applications to at least perform the following steps:

executing a web server in a mobile telephone for internet applications; and

executing a web browser in the mobile telephone that is configured to utilize first information,

wherein the web server in the mobile telephone is configured to facilitate a providing of the first information,

wherein the first information comprises information based on data obtained by the mobile telephone via an air interface for cellular communications from a service provider external to the mobile telephone;

wherein the mobile telephone is further configured to transmit via the air interface second information in response to receipt by the mobile telephone of a request from an external client via the air interface for the second information, wherein the web server is configured to facilitate providing the second information; and

wherein the mobile telephone further comprises a GPS system, the GPS system comprising a GPS receiver and an antenna for receiving GPS satellite signals.

13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein one or more servers in the mobile telephone, including a GPS server, are connected to the web server via a common gateway interface.

14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the mobile telephone comprises more than one server, and wherein the more than one server are configured to interact with each other.

15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the first information comprises location-related information.

16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the second information comprises a location of a user of the mobile telephone.

17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the second information comprises a location of the mobile telephone.

18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the second information comprises location information based on data from the GPS system of the mobile telephone.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the web browser in the mobile telephone is connected to the web server in the mobile telephone.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the web browser is configured to receive third information from the web server;

wherein the third information is based on information obtained by the web server from a further server in the mobile telephone; and

wherein the first information, the second information, and the third information comprise location-related information.

21. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 12, wherein the mobile telephone is configured for guiding and monitoring a vehicle.
