Abstract

A method of presenting data on a mobile electronics device includes initiating an application on a mobile device, requesting data from a server separate from the mobile device, receiving data from the server, displaying the data on the mobile device in a first view, and displaying the data on the mobile device in a second view, upon detecting a change of orientation of the mobile device. A method of providing data to a mobile device includes receiving a request for data from a mobile device at a server, providing the data in at least a first view to a mobile device, and upon reception of a second request from the mobile device, providing the data in a second view. A method of presenting data on a mobile device includes initiating a database application on a mobile device, requesting data from a database server across a mobile network, receiving the data from the database server across the mobile network, displaying the data in a first view on the mobile device, and displaying the data on the mobile device in a second view upon receiving a signal from an orientation sensor in the mobile device indicating that the mobile device has changed orientation from a first orientation to a second orientation.

Claims

1. A computer-controlled method of presenting data on a mobile electronics device, comprising:

initiating an application on a mobile device;

requesting data from a server separate from the mobile device;

receiving data from the server;

displaying the data on the mobile device in a first view; and

displaying the data on the mobile device in a second view, upon detecting a change of orientation of the mobile device.

2. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein initiating the application comprises initiating a database application.

3. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein initiating the application comprises initiating the application locally.

4. The computer-controlled method of claim 3, wherein requesting data comprises requesting list and table data.

5. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein initiating the application comprises initiating the application remotely.

6. The computer-controlled method of claim 5, wherein requesting data comprises requesting data for a first view.

7. The computer-controlled method of claim 6, wherein displaying the data on the mobile device comprises:

requesting second view data from the server, upon detecting the change of orientation; and

displaying the second view data on the mobile device.

8. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein displaying the data in the first view comprises displaying data in a list view, and displaying data in the second view comprises displaying data in a table view.

9. The computer-controlled method of claim 1, wherein displaying the data in the first view comprises displaying the data in a table view, and displaying the data in the second view comprises displaying data in a list view.

10. A computer-controlled method of providing data to a mobile device, comprising:

receiving a request for data from a mobile device at a server;

providing the data in at least a first view to a mobile device; and

upon reception of a second request from the mobile device, providing the data in a second view.

11. The computer-controlled method of claim 10, further comprising determining a mode of the mobile device as one of remote or local.

12. The computer-controlled method of claim 11, wherein determining the mode comprises determining that the mobile device is in local mode.

13. The computer-controlled method of claim 12, wherein providing the data comprises providing the data in a first and second view to the mobile device.

14. The computer-controlled method of claim 11, wherein determining the mode comprises determining that the mobile device is in remote mode.

15. The computer-controlled method of claim 14, wherein providing the data comprises providing the data only in a first view to the mobile device.

16. A computer-controlled method of presenting data on a mobile device, comprising:

initiating a database application on a mobile device;

requesting data from a database server across a mobile network;

receiving the data from the database server across the mobile network;

displaying the data in a first view on the mobile device; and

displaying the data on the mobile device in a second view upon receiving a signal from an orientation sensor in the mobile device indicating that the mobile device has changed orientation from a first orientation to a second orientation.

17. The computer-controlled method of claim 16, wherein initiating a database application comprises initiating a database application locally.

18. The computer-controlled method of claim 17, wherein receiving the data further comprises receiving the data in list and table view.

19. The computer-controlled method of claim 16, wherein initiating a database application comprises initiating a database application remotely.

20. The computer-controlled method of claim 16, wherein receiving the data comprises receiving the data in first view, and upon receiving a signal from the orientation sensor:

requesting second view data from the database server;

receiving second view data from the database server; and

displaying the second view data on the mobile device in the second orientation.
