SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONFIGURING A DEVICE WITH A DEVICE-SPECIFIC VERSION OF A SOFTWARE APPLICATION

摘要

A software application is specially-configured to be generic to various different computing devices, and to require configuration data to configure the application for a specific wireless telephone or other device. The application is provided to the device separately from the configuration data. Configuration data for various different devices is stored at a database server. The configuration data is stored in the database in association with identifying characteristics of one or more devices to which the configuration data shall be applied. Identifying characteristics sent from a particular device to the database server permits identification of configuration data specifically for the particular device. The device receives only the configuration data it requires. The instances of the application and configuration data stored in the memory of a specific device collectively provide an executable device-specific version of the application that corresponds to an identity of that specific device.
