Method and apparatus for communicating information over low bandwidth communications networks
DCFirst Claim
1. A handheld computer comprising:
- a display;
an antenna;
a memory configured to store a set of data configured for a selected network site; and
a processor configured to;
access the set of data from the memory to render a form for the selected network site, the form including one or more fields;
associate user-input to the one or more fields provided by the form;
signal a wireless communication over the antenna for the selected network site, the wireless communication comprising the form with the user-input being associated with the one or more fields, receive a response over the antenna, the response originating from the selected network site; and
providing a content comprising one or more selectable pages appearing on the display, a first portion of the content being derived from the set of data for the selected network, a second portion of the content being derived from the response received over the antenna from the selected network site.

Abstract
A system having a distributed web site is described. The web site is distributed between a client, a server and a web server. The client stores a set of predefined applications that correspond to a part of the web site. The applications are formatted according to a first markup language. From the set of predefined applications, the client can generate queries. The server receives the queries and generates new, related queries. The new queries correspond to a second query protocol. The second query protocol is used by the web server. The web server generates responses to the new queries and sends these responses to the server. The responses are formatted according to a second markup language. These responses correspond to the second portion of the web site. The server then converts the responses into new responses that the client can use.
