Abstract: A method for determining compatibility between a service to a mobile device includes selecting at least one source of information for information respective of at least one of capabilities of the mobile device and requirements of the service; retrieving the information respective of the at least one of capabilities of the mobile device and requirements of the service from the at least one source of information; determining a predictive compatibility score (PCS) for a pair of the mobile device and the service based on the retrieved information; and storing the PCS in a compatibility matrix at a position corresponding to the intersection of the mobile device and the service, wherein the compatibility matrix contains a PCS for each pair of mobile device and service if information is available to make a PCS determination for such a pair.

Abstract: A method for enabling service transfer from a first mobile device to a second mobile device. the method comprises identifying the first mobile device model; identifying the second mobile device model; retrieving a list of services installed on the first mobile device; accessing a two-dimensional matrix contained in a database, wherein the two-dimensional matrix includes a plurality of services in a first dimension of the matrix and a plurality of mobile device models in a second dimension of the matrix, and containing an indication of compatibility of at least one service of the plurality of services to at least a mobile device model of the plurality of mobile device models; determining using the compatibility indication which of the services in the list of services are compatible with second mobile device; and installing an executable code of each of the compatible service on the second mobile phone.
