Abstract
A computer is connected to a base station through a server and several networks. A web page on the computer is utilized to set configuration data of a mobile phone. The server receives the configuration data from the computer and communicates the configuration data to a base station. The base station transmits the configuration data to the mobile phone as a text message. The mobile phone is responsive to the configuration data and adjusts its operating configuration accordingly. The mobile phone includes a parser controlled by a processor for parsing the text message, the parser outputting parsed configuration data to the processor to effect the configuration.
Claims20
A mobile phone configuration system comprising:
- a computer for setting configuration data of a mobile phone;
- a server connected to the computer for receiving the configuration data from the computer;
- and
- a base station connected to the server for receiving the configuration data from the server and transmitting the configuration data to the mobile phone as a text message;
- wherein the mobile phone is responsive to the configuration data and adjusts its operating configuration accordingly.
A mobile phone comprising:
- a housing;
- a processor disposed inside the housing for controlling the mobile phone;
- a transmitter electrically connected to the processor for transmitting signals to a base station;
- a receiver electrically connected to the processor for receiving signals from the base station;
- an input device electrically connected to the processor for receiving user input;
- a display device electrically connected to the processor;
- a power supply for providing electrical power to the mobile phone;
- and
- a parser controlled by the processor for parsing a text string of configuration data received at the receiver, and outputting the parsed configuration data to the processor;
- wherein operations of the mobile phone are governed by a configuration, and the processor is capable of adjusting the configuration of the mobile phone based on the parsed configuration data.
A method for configuring a mobile phone comprising:
- constructing a configuration data corresponding to a target configuration of a mobile phone;
- wirelessly transmitting the configuration data to the mobile phone as a text message;
- parsing the configuration data with the mobile phone;
- and
- configuring the mobile phone based on the parsed configuration data.
