Abstract

Techniques for interacting with a client process on a mobile device connected to a network over a wireless link includes receiving a first request at a state machine executing on a first platform connected to the network. The first request is associated with the client process, and is for a service from an application. A first method of the application is invoked with first data in response to the first request. Second data for the client process is received from the application in response to invoking the first method. A first response is based on the second data. The first response is sent for the client process. The method includes managing information about a plurality of requests associated with the client process. The application executes on a second platform connected to the network. Both the first and second platforms are distinct from the mobile device. These techniques free the developers of applications for wireless mobile devices from the responsibility for managing their session state information. This greatly simplifies and accelerates the development of applications.
