A method is disclosed of providing at least one shortcut for accessing a function of a first communication device. The method comprises providing at least one predefined keyword, analyzing a data structure of the first communication device based on the predefined keyword, identifying a data path to a function of the first communication device based on the analysis of the data structure of the first communication device, and automatically proposing a shortcut to be presented to a user of the first communication device. The shortcut points to the function of the first communication device, with function being related to the predefined keyword. The method and corresponding hardware components can be provided as part of a communication device and network components enabling the creation of shortcut on user interfaces of communication device without any knowledge of the data structure of the respective communication device.
A method of providing at least one shortcut for accessing a function of a first communication device comprising the steps of:
A communication device comprising a first analyzer, an identification unit and a presentation unit, the communication device being adapted to receive a predefined keyword, the first analyzer being adapted to analyze a data structure of the communication device based on the predefined keyword, the identification unit being adapted to identify a data path based on the analysis of the data structure of the first communication device and the presentation unit being adapted to present a shortcut to a user of the communication device, the shortcut pointing to a function of the communication device, the function being related to the predefined keyword.
A first network component of a mobile communication network comprising a first network communication interface, a first network analyzer and a network identification unit, the first network communication interface being adapted to provide a connection to a first communication device, the first network analyzer being adapted to analyze a data structure of the first communication device based on a predefined keyword, the network identification unit (being adapted to identify a data path based on the analysis of the data structure of the first communication device and the first network component being adapted to transmit to the first communication device via the first network communication interface a proposal of a shortcut to be presented to a user of the first communication device, the shortcut pointing to a function of the first communication device, the function being related to the predefined keyword.
A second network component comprising a first network communication interface, a second network communication interface, a second network analyzer and a network assigning unit, the second network component being adapted to contact a second communication device by means of the second network communication interface, the second network analyzer being adapted to analyze the second communication device regarding a shortcut being available on a user interface of the second communication device, the shortcut pointing to a function of the second communication device, the network assigning unit being adapted to assign a keyword to the shortcut of the second communication device based on the respective function of the second communication device, the second network component being further adapted to provide the keyword as a predefined keyword via the first network communication interface.
