Abstract: A method for providing access to a platform independent service involving transmitting a message to a communications device the method including identifying a device category based on at least one parameter from a first group having information extractable from the communications device; mapping the device category to a user interface process, in which the user interface process describes which user interface that currently is associated with the communications device; and transforming the message format of the message from a first message format to a second message format, the second message format being associated with the user interface process, thereby providing access to the platform independent service.

Abstract: Event triggered snapshots of display content of software applications facilitate for a user, typically in the role of a software application developer, in the process of power-optimising an application under development. The invention provides the developers with an ability to correlate specific software application events, e.g. user interface events, to power consumption peaks and lows.
