System and method for providing an interactive screen on a wireless device interacting with a server

A system for displaying a user-interactive screen over a wireless network, comprising:

• a wireless communication means for selectively communicating to a wireless network, the wireless communication means being user-interactive and comprising a computer platform means and a graphic display means;
• a first download means for selectively downloading content comprising at least one of applications and data to the wireless communication means across the wireless network;
• and
• a second download means for downloading an interactive screen associated with content to be downloaded by said first downloading means;
• wherein, upon the wireless communication means requesting to download content from the first download means, the second download means transmits an interactive screen corresponding to the requested content to the computer platform means of the wireless communication means prior to the first download means downloading the requested content to the wireless communication means, and the wireless conmmunication means displaying the interactive screen corresponding to the requested content on the graphic display thereof.

A method for displaying an interactive screen on the graphic display of a user-interactive wireless devices including a computer platform, the wireless device selectively communicating with a network server and downloading content comprising at least one of applications and data, the method comprising:

• responsive to a request to download content from one of the wireless devices,
• transmitting an interactive screen associated with the requested content to the computer platform of the wireless device across the wireless network prior to transmitting the requested content downloading the data to the requesting wireless device;
• and
• transmitting the requested content to the computer platform of the wireless device after receiving a signal from the wireless device indicating that the user of the wireless device interacted with the transmitted interactive screen in a predetermined manner.

A method for displaying an interactive screen on a graphic display of a user-interactive wireless device including a computer platform, the wireless device selectively communicating with a network server and downloading applications and data resident on the network server, the method comprising the steps of:

• sending a request to download content from the network server;
• responsive to said sending the request, and prior to receiving the requested content:
• receiving an interactive screen associated with the requested download;
• presenting the interactive screen the graphic display to permit an interaction with an user of the wireless device;
• and
• sending a signal to the network server when interaction corresponds to a predetermined action;
• and
• responsive to said sending the signal:
• receiving said content from said network server.

A computer readable medium storing a sequence of instructions, which when executed by a computer platform of a wireless device, causes said computer platform to perform the steps of:

• sending a request to download content from the network server;
• responsive to said sending the request, and prior to receiving the requested content:
• receiving an interactive screen associated with the requested download;
• presenting the interactive screen the graphic display to permit an interaction with an user of the wireless device;
• and
• sending a signal to the network server indicative of the interaction corresponding to a predetermined action;
• and
• responsive to said sending the signal:
• receiving said content from said network server.
