Server-based generation of user interfaces for delivery to mobile communication devices

A method for generating a user interface for display by a mobile communication device, the method comprising a server performing the steps of:

• retrieving a web page associated with a first internet domain name;
• analyzing the web page to locate content of the web page, the content associated with a plurality of functions pertaining to the web page;
• generating a menu including one or more functional components pertaining to one or more of the plurality of functions, which functional components, when included in the user interface displayed by the mobile communication device, are selectable by a user of the mobile communication device to cause the mobile communication device to carry out a requested function of the plurality of functions, the generation of the web resource being carried out in dependence on results of said analysis;
• receiving an indication that one or more of the functional components of the menu is/are selected as selected functional components inclusion in the user interface;
• generating the user interface including the selected functional component(s) based on the received indication, the selected functional component(s) including the requested function;
• store the user interface at an IP address associated with a second internet domain name that shares one or more elements with the first internet domain name;
• receiving a request for the user interface from the mobile communication device;
• and
• delivering the user interface to the mobile communication device for display by the mobile communication device,
• wherein the user interface is subsequently used by the mobile communication device to access at least of portion of the plurality of functions by selection of the requested function from the user interface.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer program code adapted to be executed by a computer to perform a method for generating a user interface for display by a mobile communication device, the method comprising a server performing:

• retrieving a web page associated with a first internet domain name;
• analyzing the web page to locate content of the web page, the content associated with a plurality of functions pertaining to the web page;
• generating a menu including one or more functional components pertaining to one or more of the plurality of functions, which functional components, when included in the user interface displayed by the mobile communication device, are selectable by a user of the mobile communication device to cause the mobile communication device to carry out a requested function of the plurality of functions, the generation of the web resource being carried out in dependence on results of said analysis;
• receiving an indication that one or more of the functional components of the menu is/are selected as selected functional components for inclusion in the user interface;
• generating the user interface including the selected functional component(s) based on the received indication, the selected functional component(s) including the requested function;
• store the user interface at an IP address associated with a second internet domain name that shares one or more elements with the first internet domain name;
• receiving a request for the user interface from the mobile communication device;
• and
• delivering the user interface to the mobile communication device for display by the mobile communication device,
• wherein the user interface is subsequently used by the mobile communication device to access at least of portion of the plurality of functions by selection of the requested function from the user interface.
