Abstract
The invention provides a method of providing content to a mobile terminal, the method comprising the steps of: receiving data at the mobile terminal; classifying the content data in accordance with classification data comprised within the content data; storing the content data within the mobile terminal; creating an access object whereby the content data may be accessed; and associating the access object with further access objects having similar classification codes. This method has a significant effect in simplifying the provision of content to mobile terminals.
Claims60
A method of processing updated content data on a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- storing local content data on the mobile terminal, the local content data comprising local characteristic data and a local data payload;
- selecting the local content data;
- determining on the mobile terminal whether remote content data is required to update the local content data based, at least in part, on time information included in the local content data, wherein the remote content data has remote characteristic data similar to the local characteristic data;
- receiving the remote content data at the mobile terminal in response to determining based on the time information that remote content data is required to update the local content data;
- installing received remote content data within the local content data, the installed remote content data and local content data being updated content data;
- and
- presenting the updated content data,
- wherein the local content data is accessible on the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal does not have access to a wireless communications network.

- storing local content data on the mobile terminal, the local content data comprising local characteristic data and a local data payload;
- selecting the local content data;
- determining whether remote content data is required to update the local content data based, at least in part, on time information included in the local content data;
- receiving the remote content data at the mobile terminal when it is determined based on the time information that remote content data is required to update the local content data;
- installing received remote content data within the local content data, the installed remote content data and local content data being updated content data;
- and
- presenting the updated content data,
- wherein the local content data is accessible on the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal does not have access to a wireless communications network.
5 more elements
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a transceiver for receiving remote content data;
- a display device;
- a memory for storing local content data on the mobile terminal, the local content data comprising local characteristic data and a local data payload;
- a user input device for selecting the local content data;
- a processor configured to:
- determine whether remote content data is required to update the local content data based, at least in part, on time information included in the local content data, wherein the remote content data has remote characteristic data similar to the local characteristic data;
- receive the remote content data at the mobile terminal via the transceiver when it is determined based on the time information that remote content data is required to update the local content data;
- install received remote content data within the local content data, the installed remote content data and local content data being updated content data stored on the memory;
- and
- present the updated content data on the display device,
- wherein the local content data is accessible on the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal does not have access to a wireless communications network.
