Abstract:
A method and system automatically harmonizes access to a given software application program via different access devices. By receiving information from the user via the user's access device (10), including information identifying the type of device being used and the application program (14) the user wishes to access, the present invention allows financial institutions to provide access to a given application to customers using different access devices (10). The information to be displayed to the user is automatically translated into a format which is compatible with the device, including its display, and sent to the device (10) for display. The user, in turn, inputs information in response to the displayed information and this input information is automatically translated into a format which is compatible with the application program and is sent to the application program (14). The response generated by the application program (14) is automatically translated to be compatible with the device and is sent to the device (10).
