Embodiment Construction

[0013] Figure 1 illustrates a distributed communication architecture in which an embodiment of the present invention may operate. As shown in this figure, a communication device 102 may communicate wirelessly with a provisioning server 120 to initiate and validate a provisioning request 114 made by an application 104 running on the communication device 102 to access a provisioning server contained within the communication device 102. Supply code 110. For example, communication device 102 may be or include a cellular telephone, a network wireless device such as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or personal information manager (PIM) equipped with an IEEE 802.11b or other wireless interface, a laptop computer or a wireless device equipped with an 802.11b or Other laptops with other wireless interfaces, or other communication or user equipment. Communications device 102 may communicate with provisioning server 120 via antenna 112, for example at 800 / 900 MHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.4 GHz or ...

Abstract

According to the invention cellular telephones or other communications devices (102) may request provisioning of features or services (114) by applications, for instance applications received via over-the-air programming (OAP), via a remote authorization service (120). The requests by applications, such as Java applications, for access to provisioning privileges may be intercepted, for instance, by a native layer (108) executing on the communications device (102). The native layer (108) may communication the provisioning request (114), along with information identifying the requesting application, to a remote authorization server (120). Provisioning requests may be for ring tone, game, long distance or other features or services. The authorization facility may compare the application identifier or other information against a list or table of applications authorized to access device-specific data or perform other authorization. A grant, denial, deferral or other determination may be communicated back to the device, to permit or deny provisioning accordingly.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly to a distributed system in which an on-board application on a mobile unit, such as a cell phone or other device, can be activated for over-the-air provisioning via a remote authorization server or other source. Background technique [0002] Many cellular telephones and other communication devices are currently programmable in various ways. For example, many cellular telephones include editable phonebooks to allow convenient storage and dialing of frequently used or important numbers. Other cell phones or other devices have web browsing, file sharing, and other enhanced functionality, whether through a graphical user interface, voice commands, or other interfaces. Furthermore, cellular telephones that include integrated location capabilities are becoming available, such as tracking, recording and communicating the location of the handset via GPS or other location servic...
