System and method for automated delivery of software payload

A method for delivery of software payload that includes at least one software component that is used for allowing a host system to recognize and communicate with a device, comprising the acts of:

• coupling the device with the host system, with the host system:
• detecting the presence of the device;
• determining the existence of at least one software component of the software payload within the host system;
• if it is determined that the at least one software component of the software payload does not exists within the host system:
• accessing an electronic component of the device;
• recognizing and reading a file system within the electronic component;
• retrieving the software payload from the electronic component by executing a primary file system within the electronic component that includes the software payload;
• and
• installing software payload.

A system for delivery of software payload from a device to a host system, comprising:

• the device having an electronic component that is configured to comprise a file system that is native to the operating system of the host system, which the host system can recognize, access, and use automatically for initiating communications with the device;
• the electronic component comprising a primary file within the file system, with the primary file containing information that enables the host system for automatically taking appropriate action upon connection of the device with the host system;
• and
• the primary file pointing to a secondary file, with the secondary file having a set of executable commands that are executed by the host system for delivery of software payload from the electronic component of the device to the host system.
