`SYSTEM, DEVICE AND COMPUTER
`READABLE MEDIUM FOR PROVIDING
`NETWORKING SERVICES ON A MOBILE
`DEVICE
`
`FIELD OF THE INVENTION
`
`This invention
`
`relates generally
`
`to networks.
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`such as wide area
`and monitoring networks,
`Managing
`networks ("WANs") and local area networks (" LANs" ), is a
`function.
`very important
`An operator of a network needs
`to monitor network
`in order to maximize usage and
`configuration and operation
`accessibility of network services. An operator can use such
`a network or adding network
`in reconfiguring
`information
`service. A network operator also desires flexibility
`in easily
`adding network services without requiring user intervention.
`Often, a user does not have the technical ability or desire to
`reconfigure or add network services.
`A user of a network
`is generally
`in particular
`interested
`that provide specific results, such as an appli-
`applications
`cation for retrieving an address from a database. Typically,
`a user of a network is not interested in network configuration
`and adding network services as long as the user's applica-
`in a timely manner.
`tions are providing
`results
`A wireless communication
`device, such as a cellular
`is typically a node of a WAN or communication
`telephone,
`operator. As
`network managed by a telecommunication
`described above, the user of a cellular telephone
`is typically
`not interested
`in a particular network configuration
`as long
`the desired results.
`as particular applications are providing
`However, the cellular telephone may also be a part of a LAN
