A strategy and some practical examples are proposed to enhance functionally an application gateway located between clients and some kinds of servers and to utilize it for multiple purposes in order to take advantages on some Web services and communication and/or computation between clients and servers. In such an enhanced application gateway, some suitable interfaces can be selected, offered for each request from client, and an effective communication method between client and target server can be also provided according to request from client. And some practical examples are demonstrated, such as remote monitoring system and e-mail handling system. With our proposed style of enhancing application gateway, an integration of Web function and other special-purpose facilities can be effectively realized as one high-performance application gateway. With our enhanced application gateway, therefore, several kinds of clients utilizing mobile devices will be able to enjoy such efficient environment of some Web services for communication, data handling, and/or specific computation
