Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of arranging user confirmation for data downloading. A request is sent for a description of the object to be downloaded. The description of the object is transmitted, the description comprising an information unit indicating whether user confirmation is required. The information unit is checked. The user is prompted for confirmation in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is required. The downloading process of the object is continued in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is not required.
Claims19
A computer readable recordable medium storing a computer program, loadable into the memory of a data processing device, for controlling a data processing device by executing a program code included in the computer program in a processor of the data processing device, the computer program comprising:
- a program code portion for causing the data processing device to send a request for a description of an object to be downloaded,
- a program code portion for causing the data processing device to receive the description of the object, the description comprising an information unit indicating whether user confirmation is required,
- a program code portion for causing the data processing device to check the information unit,
- a program code portion for causing the data processing device to check a predefined white list on the basis of an identifier associated with an entity from which the object is to be downloaded,
- a program code portion for causing the data processing device to prompt the user for confirmation in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is required or the white list not comprising the identifier, or
- a program code portion for causing the data processing device to transmit a request for downloading and continue the downloading process of the object to be downloaded in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is not required and as a response to the white list comprising the identifier.
A method comprising:
- sending a request for a description of an object to be downloaded,
- receiving the description of the object, the description comprising an information unit indicating whether user confirmation is required,
- checking the information unit,
- checking a predefined white list on the basis of an identifier associated with an entity from which the object is to be downloaded, and
- transmitting a request for downloading and continuing the downloading process of the object as a response to the white list comprising the identifier and in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is not required, or
- prompting the user for confirmation in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is required or the white list not comprising the identifier.
A data processing device comprising:
- a communications interface for sending a request for a description of an object to be downloaded and for receiving the description of the object, the description comprising an information unit indicating whether user confirmation is required, and
- a processing unit for checking the information unit and checking a predefined white list on the basis of an identifier associated with an entity from which the object is to be downloaded, wherein the data processing device is configured to transmit a request for downloading and to continue the downloading process of the object as a response to the white list comprising the identifier and in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is not required, or
- the data processing device is configured to prompt the user for confirmation in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is required or the white list not comprising the identifier.
A method comprising:
- receiving a description of a downloadable object, the description comprising an information unit indicating that a user confirmation is not required,
- checking the information unit,
- checking a predefined list on the basis of an identifier associated with an entity from which the object is to be downloaded, and
- proceeding downloading process without user confirmation in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is not required and the list comprising the identifier.
An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving a description of a downloadable object, the description comprising an information unit indicating that a user confirmation is not required, and
- a processing unit for checking the information unit, checking a predefined list on the basis of an identifier associated with an entity from which the object is to be downloaded, and proceeding with a downloading process without user confirmation in response to the information unit indicating that user confirmation is not required and the list comprising the identifier.
