Integration of static and dynamic data for database entities and the unified presentation thereof

Abstract

A method is disclosed for presenting static and dynamic data corresponding to an entity within an application on a mobile device. An entity object is created as part of a data model within the application such that the entity object has a plurality of fields with the plurality of fields having static data corresponding to the entity. Based on the static data corresponding to the entity, dynamic data corresponding to the entity is received into the entity object from at least one of a plurality of applications executable within the mobile device. The static and dynamic data from the entity object corresponding to the entity is displayed simultaneously within a user interface of the application in a single presentation view.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method comprising:
 with a processor, accessing a database to retrieve static information related to a particular entity;   with said processor, forming a data model including an entity object for that particular entity, said entity object incorporating said static information;   with said processor, accessing a number of external sources of information and, using said static information, retrieving dynamic information from one of said external sources of information, said dynamic information being related to said static information and to said particular entity; and   with said processor, incorporating said dynamic information into said entity object for said particular entity.
