A computer-implemented method that allows a web application to invoke at least one native function of a mobile unit

摘要

The invention provides a computer implemented method, computer system, and computer program product wherein the computer implemented method of a web application (134) enables at least one native function (114) of a mobile unit (100) to be invoked. The mobile unit browser accesses the web application and, upon selection of a GUI component in the web application, submits a cross-domain HTTP to the IP address of the local host of a TCP / IP socket listening module (112) the mobile unit. The technique provides a method independent of the mobile device platform and the browser type that can be easily adapted to a variety of hardware / operating system / browser combinations without implementing browser-specific, operating system-specific and / or hardware-specific plug-ins for calling native ones Functions required.
