Abstract: The present invention relates to a client configured to operate in a client-server network. The client includes a memory unit and a communication module configured to drive a transmission connection connecting the client and a server, wherein a predefined server configuration, being transferred from the server to the client, is loaded in the client. The client also includes an application module configured to participate in the execution of an application, wherein the client simulates a server configuration by reproducing a server functionality such that the application is self-dependently executable on the client without connection to the server.

Abstract: A client, in particular in a mobile terminal device, contains a memory unit external to a server. A server configuration is loaded in the client such that an application is self-dependently executable in the client. The client comprises, for example, an input-/output unit, a first module, an internal connection and an external connection to a server. Further, the server comprises a third module and a fourth module wherein the first module in client with the first module in the server an the second module in the client with the second module in the server correspond in terms of addresses or can be assigned elastically, that the mobile application is self-dependently executable in the client.
