Abstract
Information that is based on a database portion of a first user equipment component is translated from a first database format to a second database format for a download of the information from a network storage component to a second user equipment component. The first database format is understood by the first user equipment component. The second database format is understood by the second user equipment component. The first database format is not understood by the second user equipment component.
Claims23
A method, comprising:
- the steps of:
- formulating a first database having a first database format;
- formulating a second database having a second database format;
- translating information that is based on a database portion of a first mobile telephone from the first database format to the second database format for a download of the information from a network storage component to a second mobile terminal;
- wherein the first database format is understood by the first mobile telephone, wherein the second database format is understood by the second mobile terminal, wherein the first database format is not understood by the second mobile terminal;
- wherein the first database format comprises a first database language that is not supported by the second mobile terminal, wherein the information is stored in the first mobile telephone in the first database language;
- wherein the second database format comprises a second database language that is supported by the second mobile terminal;
- and
- downloading information either of the first mobile telephone and the second mobile terminal from the network element;
- the first mobile telephone being supported by a first service provider, and the second mobile terminal being supported by a second service provider, the first mobile telephone and the second mobile terminal using different air interface technologies for communicating with the respective first and second providers.

An apparatus, comprising:
- a network storage component that stores information that is based on one or more database portions of one or more user equipment components, wherein the one or more user equipment components comprise a first user equipment component and a second user equipment component;
- and
- a translation component that communicatively couples the network storage component with one or more of the one or more database portions of the one or more user equipment components;
- wherein the one or more database portions of the one or more user equipment components comprise a database portion of the first user equipment component, wherein the information that is based on the one or more database portion of the one or more user equipment components comprises first information that is based on the database portion of the first user equipment component;
- wherein the translation component converts the first information from a first database format to a second database format for a download of the first information from the network storage component to the second user equipment component;
- wherein the first database format is understood by the first user equipment component, wherein the second database format is understood by the second user equipment component, wherein the first database format is not understood by the second user equipment component;
- the first user equipment component being supported by a first service provider, and the second user equipment component being supported by a second service provider, the first and second user equipment components using different air interface technologies for communicating with the respective first and second service providers.
