摘要

The present invention relates to communication improvements between a mobile device ( 12 ) and backend system ( 20 ) applications. A special purpose server computer-a Device Registry Server ( 18 )-is switched between a large variety of different mobile device types ( 12 ) and a plurality of backend systems ( 20 ) for improving the communication between a mobile device and a backend system. The server ( 18 ) stores information usable for facilitating communication setup, operation and maintenance of device applications. Preferably, a ready-to-use, already customized device-type specific application can be downloaded from said server ( 18 ) to a variety of different mobile devices which is then used for easily communicate with any desired backend system ( 20 ).
