SYSTEM, AND ASSOCIATED METHOD, FOR DOWNLOADING AN APPLICATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2005017649
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for facilitating the downloading of an application from a server computer (104) to a client device (108), whereby the client device generates to the server computer an initiation request (404) for information describing available applications. In response to receipt of the initiation request (406), the server computer retrieves, for each available application, information describing the respective application, and a link to an application descriptor (408) for the respective application. The server computer transmits the information and link to the client device, which in turn displays the information and stores the link (410). When the user selects an application (414), the link for the selected application is recalled (416) and is reached on the server computer for retrieval of the application descriptor (420). From the application descriptor, the client device may determine whether the application fits the device profile and, hence, whether to download the application.
