The present invention relates to terminal (T) for use in a communication network. The terminal (T) comprises a plurality of terminal capability means (CAP1, CAP2, CAP3, CAP4) to realize a plurality of terminal capability features. Terminal application means (APP1; APP2; APP3; APP4) are coupled to the terminal capability means to interact with one or more of the plurality of terminal capability means (CAP1, CAP2, CAP3, CAP4) and to execute thereby a terminal application (app1; app2; app3; app4). The terminal (T) further comprises at least one terminal capability server means (CS) coupled between the terminal application means (APP1; APP2; APP3; APP4) and to at least one of the plurality of terminal capability means (CAP1; CAP2; CAP3; CAP4). The terminal capability server means (CS) is adapted to translate a first application signal (S1) received from at least one of the plurality of terminal capability means (CAP3) into a first predefined application open signal (SO1) and to provide the first predefined application open signal (SO1) to the terminal application means (APP1; APP2; APP3; APP4). The terminal capability server mens (CS) is also adapted to translate a second predefined application open signal (SO2) received from the terminal application means (APP1; APP2; APP3; APP4) into a second application signal (S2) and to provide the second application signal (S2) to at least one of the plurality of terminal capability means (CAP1; CAP2; CAP3; CAP4)-. The first predefined application open signal (SO1) and the second predefined application open signal (S02) are defined independent of an underlying technology of the plurality of terminal capability means (CAP1; CAP2; CAP3; CAP4). <IMAGE> |
