Appellants’ invention relates generally to a programming
interface layer for allowing a plurality of vendors (160) to
remotely deliver data services to client devices (PDA) (200)
through a service provider server (150). The programming
interface layer includes a plurality of service functions that
any of the vendors may use to deliver their particular data
services to clients. The interface further includes a module for

3. A computer system comprising:
a processor; and
memory coupled to the processor having a plurality of
programming instructions implementing a programming interface
layer for a service provider to facilitate delivery of data
services to client devices by any of a plurality of vendors via
the service provider, the programming interface layer including
a plurality of generic executable service functions callable
by any of the plurality of vendors to facilitate delivery of a
plurality of heterogeneous data services;
a parameter processing module for processing function-
