System and method for provisioning a remote library for an electronic device

A system for provisioning resources for applications to electronic devices, comprising:

• a server in a network, the server having
• a library storing a resource;
• a data transmission module for providing access information about the resource in a data transmission to the network;
• and
• a subscriber registry, and
• an electronic device having
• a display;
• an application operating thereon;
• a communication module for receiving said data transmission and extracting said access information;
• a network module to manage communications with said network when said device enters said network;
• and
• a graphical user interface (GUI) generation module for presenting said access information for said resource in a GUI generated on said display,
• wherein
• said data transmission contains access information relating to said resource;
• after the server authorizes said device to receive said resource, the data transmission module provides a second data transmission to the device, the second data transmission containing a copy of the resource;
• upon receipt of the second transmission, the device incorporates the access information for the resource into a GUI generated on the device to enable the device to selectively access the resource;
• and
• after a selection event is initiated on the device for the resource, said resource is integrated into said application as an output generated by said application.

A method of presenting resources for applications provided by a network to an electronic device that enters said network, comprising:

• from the device, sending a request for provisioning a resource to the network;
• after said network authorizes said device to receive said resource and said network sends a data transmission containing access information relating to said resource at the device, extracting access information relating to the resource from said data transmission;
• presenting the access information in a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) address for the resource as part of a graphical user interface (GUI) on a display of the device;
• after a selection event is initiated on the device for the resource, requesting a copy of said resource from the network;
• receiving a second data transmission containing the copy of the resource from said network;
• storing the copy of the resource in internal memory of the device;
• and
• integrating the resource into an application operating on the device as an output of the application,
• wherein the resource provides one user interface context for the application.
