Methods and systems for creating user-defined personal web cards

摘要

The invention relates to creating a set of user-defined personal web cards thereby facilitating access to resources on the Internet while using a mobile device, particularly a mobile phone. The invention enables a user to enter or provide configuration information, which defines one or more personal web cards. Based on such configuration information, personal web cards are generated. This generation may be done after the configuration information has been entered or when a user request is received. The invention then enables users of mobile devices to send requests for predefined personal web cards. The personal web card requested is then presented or displayed on a mobile device, thereby enabling that user of that mobile device to obtain information or access an Internet resource by simply selecting one of the options contained in the personal web card. The cumbersome manner of input for mobile devices is ameliorated.
