Description

The invention relates to a data processing system for the dynamic processing of data representing data sets in at least one database. The data processing system comprises at least one mobile terminal as a front-end with a graphical user interface for retrieving and displaying information. In addition, the data processing system comprises at least one server as a back-end with a data communication interface for data communication with the mobile terminal.

Data processing systems for processing information representing information are known in the art in various forms.

EP 1 685 505 B1 shows a data processing system for the dynamic detection of weighted relationships between information representing data in at least one database. The data processing system has means to also detect a relationship as a link between an information-representing date of a data stock and another data-representing date of a data stock as a date representing an information. The data processing system independently determines and keeps the connections up-to-date. The relationships are dynamically detected as gain-weakenable modifiable n-to-n links (n is a natural number).

The link is generated by a semantic comparison of the information representing data of a connection request and the information representing data of the database. In the context of the semantic comparison, a semantic network is generated from which correlations can be detected. Dynamic relationships are detected by semantic comparisons on the basis of or by means of the sequence of information representing data of databases and uses of information representing data of databases. The correlation is weighted. The relationship weighting of at least one relationship that has already been recorded in a dataset as information representing a datum is changed by increasing or decreasing as a function of the context weighting of a subsequently recorded relationship. The data processing system logs the sequence of all retrieved or used information representing data of a database. If this sequence occurs several times and if two pieces of data representing one another follow one another and the link is strengthened, a latent link is created.

In a data processing system of the type mentioned above, there are some challenges and problems that need to be solved:

Mobile devices have limited data communication bandwidth and limited computing and storage capacity.

The limited size of the graphical display as well as the requirement for finger-operation allows only a limited user interface for applications and limits the amount of information to be displayed thereby, so that not all information basically available to a user can be offered to the user for selection.

Known approaches for machine-aided finding of relevant information, e.g. Collaborative filtering requires a priori information to function, i. Missing information during initial use can affect such systems (Cold Start problem).

Another problem is that the user does not know which of the information that may interest him exists. Therefore, no explicit query of this information is possible.

The object is to provide a data processing system that makes it possible for a user to display relevant information on a mobile terminal.

For this purpose, a data processing system with at least one server and at least one mobile terminal with a graphic display is proposed. The server is designed to access data representing data records and the records each with a record identifier provided on the basis of information contained in the data records to associate the respective data record identifier one or more different indices.

Furthermore, the server is configured to form an inverted index data structure in which one or more record identifiers are respectively assigned to one or more indices if a respective record identified by the corresponding record identifier contains an information represented by a respective index.

Furthermore, the server is configured to manage a sequence of filters defined by one or more of the indices and configured to determine a selection of a respective data set in consideration of the information represented thereby. That The configuration of the respective filter determines which data record the server selects when the respective filter is called.

The server is further adapted to transmit, in response to a request message from a terminal, data indicative of information contained in a respective record determined by a respective one of the filters from the sequence of filters.

The mobile terminal is designed to establish a data communication connection to the server after calling a corresponding application, preferably installed on the mobile terminal, and to transmit to the server a request message, which preferably contains a user identifier.

Furthermore, the mobile terminal is configured to receive from the server data representing indications of information contained in a respective data record determined by means of a respective one of the filters from the sequence of the filters. Furthermore, the mobile terminal is designed to display information represented by the received data on the graphic display and to call up and display information linked to a respective input of a user with a respective message and to forward a message indicating a respective call to the server to transfer.

Data representing indications of information should be understood here to mean that the data contains an indication of information represented by the respective selected data record.

Preferably, the sequence of filters comprises at least one dynamic filter configured by having associated with it both a user identifier and a plurality of record identifiers. The server is adapted to apply the dynamic filter such that it selects a data set upon receipt of a request message containing a user identifier from the terminal based on the indices associated with the records identified by their respective record identifier and data indicative of present information represented in each respective selected record, to which mobile terminal transmits, so that the indication on the graphic display of the terminal can be displayed.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the server is designed, after receiving a respective message indicating a call, to store a data record identifier which identifies the data record representing the called information, associated with the corresponding dynamic filter.

Advantageously, the server may be configured to determine further data records to which the corresponding indices are assigned, and to configure the dynamic filter by means of the record identifiers of these data records on the basis of the indices to which the record identified by the dynamic filter associated with the record identifier is assigned , The configuration of the dynamic filter can thus follow the interests of a user without the need for a conventional user profile. Although the configuration of the dynamic filter is, for example, keyword-based, it is nevertheless purely speech-diagnostic, i. the system does not need any information about the meaning of the information represented by the records, e.g. the words contained in the records. This allows a simple technical realization for all conceivable languages.

The latter may be assisted by the server in being adapted to receive, upon receipt of a further request message containing a user identifier, based on the configured dynamic filter - via the indices associated with the records identified by the record identifiers by which the dynamic filter is configured in each case - to determine and select a record and to transmit an indication of information contained in this record data representing the mobile terminal.

The dynamic filter may be configured by multiple sets of record identifiers, and the server may be configured to apply to such call of the dynamic filter those indexes for selecting a record associated with those records whose record identifiers each form a group. In this way, a user can be made aware of different information over time by means of a filter.

A dynamic filter implementing the aforementioned features, based on the record identifier in the inverted index data structure, retrieves the index or indexes to which the corresponding record is associated and identifies further records, the corresponding one, by means of the index or indices Indices are assigned. The server is configured to store the record identifications associated with the data records identified in this way and to select a record representing information when the user re-invokes the application on the basis of the indices to which the records identified by the stored record identifiers are assigned, and an indication of this selected information record presented on the mobile terminal to the latter to be transmitted, whereupon the corresponding reference to the information of the second type is displayed on the mobile terminal.

The data to be sent by the server to the mobile terminal, which represent an indication of information contained in a respective selected record, may advantageously contain, in addition to this indication, at least one URL that refers to the selected record, so that it may be requested by a user can be called. The record may be, for example, a web page.

The data representing data sets are preferably those containing at least one text information containing at least one word. The information on the data representing data records, which are transmitted from the server to the mobile terminal, preferably contain at least one text information containing at least a summary of a data representing the respective information record.

In a particularly preferred embodiment variant, the mobile terminal comprises an application backend, which is designed to effect on the touch-sensitive graphical display of the mobile terminal a reproduction of the information represented by the received data in the form of maps. In addition, the application backend is configured to capture and process events that represent a swipe gesture and, upon detecting a swipe gesture, provide a next indication of a sequence of clues for display on the touch-sensitive graphical display. In this way, a sequence of hints can be brought to the attention of a user on a small-area graphic display, without the need for buttons or the like, so that the limited area of the graphic display can be completely available for displaying the clues. Status displays or the like of the mobile terminal remain unaffected.

In addition, the application backend is preferably configured to cause references to records and the information represented thereby to be sequentially displayed in two different ways, depending on what kind of records are or the information represented by them, or from which data source the data records or the information represented by them originate.

The two last-mentioned aspects, which are realized by the application backend, can also be implemented independently of the selection of the respective data records and represent in this sense an independent idea of the invention.

In this sense, a mobile terminal is also proposed, which is designed to cause references to data records and the information represented by them either as a stack of cards or as a sequence or sequence or band from edge to edge of successive cards on a graphic display of the mobile terminal, depending on the type of data records or the information represented by them, or on which data source the data records or the information represented by them originate.

The application backend can furthermore be configured such that information of a second type to be displayed by means of a card stack can be called up at any time when viewing the cards in the form of a continuous band with information of a first type. The deck of cards can then appear above the band of cards. For example, information such as mobile boarding passes, travel plans, or basic system information may be retrieved as second-order information at any point in time as a deck of cards, while other information, messages, or weather or system background information (workload, etc.) may be presented side by side as side-by-side maps become.

In order to achieve the above object, a method for displaying information on a graphic user interface of a mobile terminal is also proposed, wherein the user firstly receives information on a first type of information (WTK) to be displayed when invoking an application in each case and secondly, references to information of a second type (NTK), the display of which depends on a user's interest, without the user having to explicitly and specifically request the second information.

It provides one or more servers and one or more mobile devices that can communicate with the server.

The server is connected to databases containing records representing the information. The datasets can be stored on the same server or the server can be connected to another server where the datasets are stored. The server allocates available information representing records to various indexes in an inverted index data structure.

It is advantageous if the server first converts the data records representing the information into a sequential data structure in which information contained in a data record representing each information is assigned as values (values) to different keys (keys).

The inverted index data structure preferably includes indexes representing key information and associated therewith record identifiers of those (information representing) records containing respective key information.

The mobile terminal establishes - after a user has invoked a corresponding application - a data communication connection to a server and transmits the server a user identifier.

Thereafter, the server transmits to the mobile terminal first data containing clues to the information of the first kind and second data containing clues to information of the second kind.

The references to the information of the first type and the references to the information of the second type are provided on the mobile terminal such that a user provides the references to the information of the first type and the references to the information of the second type successively on the graphical user interface can retrieve information associated with a particular note as needed.

The mobile terminal transmits a message indicating a respective call to the server in the event of a call of information. Thereafter, the server stores a record identifier identifying the retrieved information record and assigns it to a dynamic filter specific to a respective user identifier,

The dynamic filter, based on the record identifier in the inverted index data structure, retrieves the index or indexes to which the corresponding record is associated and identifies, by means of the index or indices, further data records associated with corresponding indexes. The record identifiers associated with the records thus identified are stored and form a set of record identifiers associated with different indexes in the inverted index data structure. The dynamic filter is thus indirectly configured by several indices. The filter selects an information representative record when the user re-invokes the application based on the indices associated with the records identified by the stored record identifiers.

To the selected record, the server transmits to the mobile terminal an indication of the information represented by the selected record. This hint causes the mobile Terminal to display a corresponding reference to the information of the second kind on the mobile terminal.

Through a sequence of filters, the server can thus determine a sequence of records and generate a sequence of indications of information contained in the records representing data and transmit it to the mobile terminal, where a user can retrieve the hints one after the other. The sequence of filters may include one or more dynamic filters (as described earlier) and static filters that are hard-coded.

An advantage of this method is that it can be dispensed with a semantic comparison.

The data representing data sets may be, for example, files that represent words containing words. An advantage of the method is that it is independent of the language of the text used.

The invention will now be explained in more detail by means of embodiments with reference to the figures. From the figures is

A data processing system according to the invention comprises at least two components, namely a backend server 10 and a mobile terminal 12 , In fact, the data processing system is designed to have a variety of mobile devices 12 that are assigned to different users. Likewise, you can also use multiple servers 10 be provided.

The backend server 10 itself provides additional resources of the data processing system and is also connected to other resources. The same applies to these mobile devices 12 ,

• – Er ist mit Mobilfunknetzwerk zum bidirektionalen Übertragen von und zu den mobilen Endgeräten verbunden.
• – Er hat Zugriff auf Informationen repräsentierende Datensätze.
• – Er verwaltet eine invertierte Index-Datenstruktur auf Basis von Indices und diesen zugeordneten Datensatzkennungen, die einen jeweiligen Informationen repräsentierenden Datensatz eindeutig identifizieren.
• – Er verwaltet und verarbeitet eine Sequenz von Filtern, von denen jeder Filter Basis für die Auswahl eines Datensatzes durch den Server ist.
• – Er überträgt eine Folge von Hinweisen auf den Inhalt der ausgewählten Datensätze repräsentierenden Daten zu einem jeweiligen mobilen Endgerät 12.

In particular, the backend server has 10 following properties:

• It is connected to a mobile network for bidirectional transmission to and from the mobile terminals.
• - He has access to information representing records.
• It manages an inverted index data structure based on indices and associated record identifiers that uniquely identify a record representing each information.
• - It manages and processes a sequence of filters, each filter being the basis for selecting a record by the server.
• It transmits a sequence of indications of data representing the content of the selected data records to a respective mobile terminal 12 ,

Some of the other resources of the data processing system are in 2 shown schematically. Again 2 can be seen, includes the backend server 10 a content management system 14 which is used to manage records and the information represented by the records. In addition, the backend server includes 10 an application backend 16 which has the function of the variety of the content management system 14 provided records some records to select and generate clues to these records, which - represented by appropriate data - to the respective mobile device 12 to be transferred.

The mobile device 12 has a corresponding application frontend 18 On, the received data with clues also processes the information contents of the selected records so that the clues on a graphical display 20 of the mobile terminal 12 can be displayed one after the other. A user may display a respective displayed indication on the touch-sensitive graphic display 20 Click to call the record belonging to the note. The call of the respective data record can, for example, be made using a URL which refers to the respective data record.

The application frontend 18 can be used as an application on the mobile device 12 be installed, making it from the mobile device 12 can be executed. As 3 indicates, points the mobile terminal 12 in addition to the touch-sensitive graphic display 20 with an associated driver and readout unit 22 a processor 24 on top of the driver and reader unit 22 with the touch-sensitive graphic display 20 connected is. Besides, the processor is 24 with a memory 26 and a data modem 28 connected. The data modem 28 is used for bidirectional data exchange via a mobile network, thus allowing data exchange with the server 10 ,

The server 10 is also at least indirectly connected to a mobile network. Also, the backend server 10 with a data preparation system 30 (please refer 2 ), which in turn uses a variety of data sources 32 typically connected via the internet. The data preparation system 30 is trained over a crawler 34 the different data sources 32 to query and from the data sources 32 to collect related information. The from the data sources 32 Related information is provided by the data preparation system 30 prepared and condensed into records, the content management system 14 can be supplied.

From the data sources 32 The data processing system generates the related data 30 a sequential data structure in JSON format, in which the information contained in the respective data record is assigned as values to various keys. In addition, the records are assigned individual record identifiers. Record ID Key: value 122 Word: football, elections, stock market 1346 Word: stock market, elections fair 1600 Word: Fair, Stock Exchange 1611 Word: population growth, hunger, stock market

Using the sequential data structure and record identifiers, the data preparation system generates 30 an inverted index data structure in which the individual record identifiers are each assigned to one or more indices. A respective index represents a key information.

A respective data record identifier is always assigned to a respective index if the associated data record contains the key information for which the respective index is located. This in turn results from the previously formed sequential data structure by the various indices (eg: population growth, hunger) are formed from a respective key (for example: word) associated values (eg: football, elections, stock market, fair, population growth, hunger) and a data record identifier is always assigned to these indices if the associated data record for the respective key (eg topic) contains a corresponding value (eg world population and / or hunger). topic Record ID elections 1346, 122 Soccer 122 stock market 1346, 122, 1600 fair 1346, 1600, 1611 growth of population 1611 hunger 1611

Using the inverted index data structure and a list of filters, the application backend selects 16 in each case one data record per filter, in addition then a note representing the respective content is created, the from the application frontend 18 on the mobile device 12 processed and on the graphic display 20 can be displayed.

A respective filter thus determines which data record the application backend 16 each selects. This selection is done using indexes that configure the filter. Such a configuration of a filter can be done directly by the indices directly defining the filter. However, a filter can also be indirectly configured by means of indices by assigning record identifiers to the filter, which in turn are assigned to different indices via the inverted index data structure. These indices, which are assigned the record identifiers assigned to the respective filter, configure the corresponding filter indirectly. A selection of a respective data record is carried out by filtering the available data records on the basis of the indices defining the filter. Another selection criterion may be, for example, the age of a data record.

The filters form a sequence of filters that also determines the order in which the notes on the mobile device 12 which refer to the records selected by the respective filters.

Some of the filters can be dynamic filters. A dynamic filter is not configured by a single group of indexes or record identifiers, but by multiple groups of indexes or record identifiers. This allows the indices or record identifiers used in this call to be replaced by other indexes or record identifiers of a second group the next time the same filter is called after a single call to the filter. In this way, in spite of a predetermined sequence of filters, it can be effected that a user does not always receive more or less identical data records or references to data records, but rather has the opportunity to perceive further information from the multiplicity of information.

In addition, a dynamic filter can also replace the indexes or record IDs of one group with other indexes or record IDs, creating a different, new set of indexes or record IDs. In particular, the filter may be arranged to replace indices or record identifiers of a group with other indices or record identifiers if the record selected by means of the respective filter and the corresponding group of indices or record identifiers has actually been called by the user by: the user the corresponding reference to the touch-sensitive graphic display 20 of the mobile terminal 12 clicked. A replacement of the indices or data record identifications of a group of indices or data record identifications of the corresponding filter can take place such that a plurality of further data records which are assigned to the same or similar indexes as the called data record are determined on the basis of the data record identifier of the called data record. The record identifiers associated with the records thus found replace the previous record identifiers in the last accessed group of record identifiers to be modified and thus reconfigure the corresponding filter. Alternatively, the record identifiers as described may also be added to the filter as a new set of record identifiers. The most recently accessed group of record identifiers can then be kept latent, for example, and later reactivated or completely removed from the filter.

Groups of record identifiers or indices may also be removed by a dynamic filter if the indication of the record selected by the respective group of indices or record identifiers has been displayed once or more to a user without the user having invoked the corresponding record. In this way, dynamic filters can be adapted to the needs of a user without having to create complex user profiles. In addition, since the filters are configured solely on the basis of indices that can represent, for example, natural-language words in data records, the filters can also be entirely speech-diagnostic and ignored operate semantic connections. Therefore, the application backend 16 relatively easy and resource-saving to be implemented.

4 is a graphic illustration of how a dynamic filter works. In the sequence shown 50 in the illustrated example of sixteen filters 52 is formed, for example, the fourth filter and the twelfth filter are dynamic filters 54 , in the 4 are shown in the manner of a wheel with spokes.

The points at the ends of the spokes of the wheel represent groups 56 of indices or record identifiers. In the concrete exemplary embodiment, these groups are in each case groups of data record identifiers, so that the indices used to select a data record when the respective group is called are the indices to which the data record identifiers associated with the group in the inverted index data structure are assigned. With every call of the dynamic filter 54 The filter "rotates" one more position, so that when the filter 54 is called again, the next group 56 of indexes or record identifiers used to select a record. As previously described, the filter can 54 add more sets of record identifiers, or even remove groups of record identifiers, for example, if a record selected by a particular set of record identifiers is not retrieved. As also described earlier, the record identifiers of a group of record identifiers can also be replaced by other record identifiers.

The described sequence of filters with the described dynamic filters may be in addition to the dynamic filters 54 also contain static filters that are defined by a fixed set of indices or record identifiers or that are directly configured by means of a record identifier such that when a corresponding static filter is called, it is generated to the record to which the corresponding record identifier is assigned.

The sequence 50 filters with the described static and dynamic filters is part of the application backend 16 in the backend server 10 ,

Calling and controlling the application backend 16 take place in the data exchange with a respective mobile terminal 12 , Typically, the application backend stops 16 a separate sequence for each user of the data processing system 50 of filters that is user-specific as a result of the user-dependent reconfiguration of the dynamic filters.

5 illustrates the flow of data communication between mobile terminal 12 and backend server 10 and an arbitrary content server 32 , 5 also illustrates the response of the backend server 10 on messages from the mobile device 12 ,

As previously mentioned and in 2 indicated graphically, is on the mobile terminal 12 An application that installs an application frontend 18 provides. The application front-end is configured to generate data based on the touch-sensitive graphical display 20 of the mobile terminal 12 Display hints about information contained in records and display buttons. The application frontend 18 is also adapted to events such as touching the touch-sensitive graphic display 20 in certain places to capture and process.

It should be noted that a the application frontend 18 forming application on the mobile terminal 12 can be installed, but alternatively on another device, so that a web application can be called on the mobile device instead of a locally installed application.

A use of the data processing system according to the invention begins with a user having the corresponding application on the mobile terminal 12 calls and thus the application frontend 18 starts. This then causes the mobile terminal 12 first a request message to the backend server 10 directed. The request message in the preferred embodiment includes a user identifier and thus allows the application backend to invoke a sequence of filters that may be specific to the particular user.

Based on the called sequence 50 filters determines the application backend 16 then a sequence of records by using a respective filter, a record in the manner described above and Way is selected. The application backend generates the sequence of records 16 a sequence of hints and transmits the data representing the clues to the application frontend 18 , The indications representing data include both references to information represented by a respective data record and a reference, for example a URL, which leads to the respective data record.

The application frontend 18 processes those from the application backend 16 received data and generates signals indicative of the indications on the touch-sensitive graphical display 20 of the mobile terminal 12 cause. The references to the by means of the sequence 50 By filtering specific records displayed in the order as they pass through the sequence 50 the filter is specified. Specifically, the application frontend 18 configured to always have exactly one reference to the touch-sensitive graphic display 20 of the mobile terminal 12 is shown. A corresponding gesture can cause a user to hide a hint and display the next hint. The application frontend 18 is appropriately trained to process events triggered by appropriate gestures.

Once a respective reference to the touch-sensitive graphic display 20 of the mobile terminal 12 is displayed, generates the application frontend 18 a message indicating the display of the message and transmitting it to the application backend 16 ,

As already mentioned, a user can cause by a corresponding gesture that a respective hint is hidden and replaced by a subsequent hint. Alternatively, however, the user can also call up the record associated with a respective reference, for example by a different gesture. A gesture for hiding a hint and calling a next hint may be, for example, a swipe gesture. A gesture to invoke the record associated with a note may be a click. Accordingly, the application frontend 18 trained to process different events triggered by such gestures differentiated.

If a user invokes the corresponding data record by clicking on the note - more precisely, the information represented by the associated data record calls the application frontend 18 a message indicating a corresponding call and transmitting it to the application backend 16 , As described earlier, receiving a message indicating a call causes the application back end 16 to a filter belonging to a respective note 52 the sequence 50 of filters to reconfigure, provided that this filter 52 is a dynamic filter that can be configured. Reconfiguring the corresponding dynamic filter causes the next time this filter is called to use another group or a modified set of indices or record identifiers to select a particular record.

Clicking a note by a user causes the application frontend 18 also to follow a link linked to the respective note and to call up a corresponding link or URL and there retrieve the record associated with the note. Typically, the reference to a record refers to a content server, ie, the link or URL leads to the content server that holds the corresponding record.

The data sent from the backend server to the mobile terminal upon receipt of a request message may represent a respective record in various ways. In one embodiment, a respective one of the touch-sensitive graphical displays includes 20 of the mobile terminal 12 hint to be displayed next to text also for example an illustration. In this case, the data representative of the hints sent from the backend server to the mobile terminal need not include the image itself. Rather, the data representing hints may include a reference, such as a URL, that leads to the corresponding image. The application frontend 18 can then display the corresponding image preferably in preconfigured form from a corresponding imaging server 36 download; please refer 2 ,

In the following, some of the resources or messages of the data processing system are again presented individually:
The backend server 10 has access to records that represent information, eg texts, news websites, etc.

The backend server 10 uses record identifiers, each of which is an individual, unique identifier of a record representing information.

The backend server 10 creates and manages an inverted index data structure. This contains indices, each of which has one or more record identifiers associated with it, depending on whether a respective record (represented by its record identifier) contains information for which a respective index stands.

The backend server 10 includes an application backend 16 using filters to select information to be displayed. A respective filter is directly or indirectly configured by one or more indices and initiates the backend server 10 to select, based on the indices that configure the respective filter, a data record to which the server represents data representing the mobile terminal 12 transmits. A respective filter may be configured by means of record identifiers, with the indices configuring the filter then being the indices to which the data records identified by the record identifiers are assigned.

Filters can be dynamic filters. A dynamic filter is reconfigured upon receipt of a call-indicating message by the server, by further identifying records based on the indexes associated with a called record whose record identifiers are then stored to (re-) configure the filter associated with it. A dynamic filter may be configured by means of multiple sets of record identifiers, each time the filter is (re) invoked, a different set of sets of record identifiers serves as the basis for the selection of a record by the server. In the case of a dynamic filter configured by more than one set of record identifiers, a respective set of record identifiers that resulted in the selection of a retrieved record is reconfigured in the manner described.

This allows a dynamic adaptation of the data processing system for displaying user-relevant data records completely speech -agnostic and with purely technical means. Explicit specification of user preferences or use of user profiles 40 Conventional type may additionally be provided.

The filters form a sequence 50 of filters sequentially invoked by the server to determine a series of records to which the server then transmits clues representing data to the mobile terminal where the indications of the contents of the records represented by the data are in the corresponding one Order to be displayed.

• – eine Nutzerkennung, die individuelle Kennung eines Nutzers ist und einem Nutzer fest zugeordnet ist. Ein Nutzer kann sich beim Aufrufen einer Anwendung über Nutzername und Kennwort identifizieren.
• – eine Anforderungsnachricht, die eine Nachricht vom mobilen Endgerät 12 an den Backend Server 10 ist und die eine Nutzerkennung enthält und den Server veranlasst, (Hinweise repräsentierende) Daten zum mobilen Endgerät zu übertragen, die jeweils Hinweise auf Informationen repräsentieren, die in einer Sequenz von Datensätzen enthalten sind, die der Server für einen jeweiligen Nutzer auf Basis einer Sequenz von Filtern ausgewählt hat.
• – Hinweise repräsentierende Daten, die jeweils einem vom Server ausgewählten Datensatz zugeordnet sind und von dem Server zum mobilen Endgerät übertragen werden und die auf der graphischen Anzeige des Mobilgerätes anzuzeigende Hinweise auf in dem jeweils ausgewählten Datensatz enthaltene Informationen sowie eine URL enthalten, die einen Aufruf des jeweiligen Datensatzes enthält.
• – eine Aufruf anzeigende Nachricht, die eine Nachricht ist, die vom mobilen Endgerät zum Server übertragen wird, wenn ein Nutzer einen durch einen Hinweis repräsentierten Datensatz aufruft, indem er z.B. den Hinweis auf der berührungsempfindlichen graphischen Anzeige des mobilen Endgerätes anklickt.

Between backend server 10 and mobile terminal 12 exchanged data and messages include:

• - A user identifier, the individual identifier of a user and is permanently assigned to a user. A user can identify themselves by calling username and password when calling an application.
• A request message containing a message from the mobile terminal 12 to the backend server 10 and which contains a user identifier and causes the server to transmit (indicia representative) data to the mobile terminal, each representing references to information contained in a sequence of records that the server for a respective user based on a sequence of Has selected filters.
• - Notes representing data, each associated with a server-selected data set and transmitted from the server to the mobile terminal and to display on the graphical display of the mobile device indications contained in the respective selected record information and a URL containing a call of the respective record contains.
• A call-indicating message, which is a message transmitted from the mobile terminal to the server, when a user calls up a record represented by an indication, for example by clicking on the indication on the touch-sensitive graphical display of the mobile terminal.

6 and 7 illustrate how the application front-end works 18 when displaying indications of a first or second type of information. The application frontend 18 is designed so that references to records and the information represented by them are displayed sequentially in two different ways, depending on what type of records or the information represented by them or of which data source the records or by this represented information comes from.

Such a different but nevertheless sequential representation of references to data records of different types allows an implicit and easily differentiated by the user without further, additional information differentiation of the types of different records. This facilitates the information perception by the respective user.

The various representations of the clues depending on the nature or origin of the records to which the clues refer represent an aspect of the invention which is independent of the other aspects of the invention, in particular independent of the selection of the records by the application backend 16 by means of the filters 52 respectively. 54 ,

The application frontend 18 is designed to present the notes as cards, which can be called by swiping gestures one after the other.

In this case, references to records of the first type are displayed as a band from edge to edge successive cards. A push-up card displaying a note 60a appropriate swiping action causes the tape to move one card at a time edge by edge of successive cards, displaying the next card 60b he follows. The band of cards thus represents a sequence or sequence of clues that are displayed side by side.

Press the button 62 - ie, touching the touch-sensitive graphic display within a designated area - causes a display of a stack of stacked cards 64 that represent references to records of the second kind. A swipe gesture corresponding to a removal of the topmost card is provided to display the underlying card. If the lowest card 64 of the stack, the tape of the cards reappears 60 with references to records of the first kind, with a respective card 60 that was displayed as the button 62 was pressed to call the references to records of the second type.

In the embodiment, references to records that are from the data sources 32 come as a band of cards 60 shown while references to records from another data source 38 (please refer 2 ), as a stack of cards 64 being represented.

The call of references to the second type of data records is carried out in the embodiment by means of the button 62 , However, such a call can also be implemented differently, for example by means of a swipe gesture. The application frontend 18 is designed to detect and process events representing corresponding inputs.

Also, a change between cards of the tape or stack may be different than by swipe gestures, e.g. be implemented by means of appropriate buttons. Swipe gestures, however, are preferred because no display surface is lost for otherwise provided buttons.
