Abstract: A computing system is provided that comprises a portable, hand-held computer comprising a display and a plurality of cursor control keys; and a proxy server coupled to the portable computer by a data link. A proxy server is also coupled to at least one remote server on the Internet. The portable computer is adapted to activate a menu comprised of a plurality of entries. Each entry corresponds to at least one mark-up language file to be accessed by the user. The method disclosed herein provides a shorthand way of requesting mark-up language files using one hand and a minimal number of keystrokes. Once the proxy server receives the file, it separates the file into viewable segments and sends the first viewable segment to the portable computer.

Abstract: A method of configuring an architecture for provision of mobile access to a wireless communication device provides a structured framework for defining a preferential configuration of the architecture. A target list of resources is established with respect to mobile access of a wireless communication device. A set of components, associated with each established resource, is retrieved to form a menu of components of an architecture. Component data, associated with respective components, is presented to facilitate the defining of a preferential configuration. An arrangement is selected of the components from the menu to form the preferential configuration of the architecture.
