Providing a customized application to a user terminal

摘要

Techniques for providing a user terminal with a web application, which is customized in respect of terminal-specific properties and, optionally, user-specific parameters. An application server stores a template for the customized web application and a feature set for each of several terminal types; receives a request for creation of the customized web application, and determines the user-specific parameters based on the request; sends the user terminal a data message which triggers a request from the user terminal; determines the user terminal's type based on the request; determines the terminal-specific properties based on the determined type; creates the customized web application based on the template, the user-specific parameters and the terminal-specific properties; inserts the customized web application into a set of delivery files for a data communication system and transmits the set of delivery files to the user terminal.
