Abstract
A computer system and method configured to deliver content to a mobile device includes a first server configured to deliver an address of a content in a reference format responsive to a request for the content from the mobile device and a first proxy server configured to receive, from the mobile device, the address of the content in the reference format and a type of the mobile device. The proxy server is configured to fetch the requested content at the received address, to automatically convert the fetched content from the reference format to a format suitable to the type of mobile device and to deliver the converted content to the mobile device.
Claims32
A method for delivering content to a mobile device, comprising the steps of:
- receiving, by a first server, a first request for content from the mobile device;
- responsive to the first request for content, sending, by the first server, an address of the requested content in a reference format to the mobile device;
- receiving, by a second server, a second request from the mobile device for the content subsequent to the first request for content, the second request received from the mobile device being different from the first request received from the mobile device, the second request specifying an address of the requested content and a type of the mobile device;
- responsive only to the second request, fetching, by the second server, the requested content in the reference format from the specified address and converting, by the second server, the fetched content from the reference format to a format suitable to the mobile device, and
- delivering the converted content to the mobile device.
A computer system configured to deliver content to a mobile device, comprising:
- a first server that includes hardware and that is configured to deliver, responsive to a first request for content from the mobile device, an address of a content in a reference format responsive to a request for the content from the mobile device, and
- a first proxy server configured to receive a second request from the mobile device for the content, the second request received from the mobile device being different from the first request received from the mobile device, the second request including the address of the requested content in the reference format and a type of the mobile device, to fetch the content at the received address responsive only the second request only, to convert the fetched content from the reference format to a format suitable to the type of mobile device and to deliver the converted content to the mobile device, wherein the first proxy server is configured to maintain a configuration table associating the type of mobile device with display characteristics of the mobile device and wherein the first proxy server is further configured to access the configuration table and convert the requested content to the format specified by the display characteristics associated with the type of the mobile device.
