Abstract

The present invention resides in one aspect in a system including a user operable portable radio communication device and a server. The invention includes the portable radio communication device comprising a sensor adapted to allow automatic input of data to the portable radio communication device, a controller for controlling the device, a browser adapted to download content from the server, the controller being arranged to be responsive to data input via said sensor so as control the browser to download content from a server associated with the input data, means for providing for information personal to a user, and

contextualisation means configured to contextualise the downloaded content with the personal information.

Claims

1. A system including a user operable portable radio communication device and a server, the portable radio communication device comprising:

a sensor allowing automatic input of data to the portable radio communication device,

a controller for controlling the device,

a browser which downloads content from the server,

the controller responsive to data input via said sensor to control the browser to download content from a server associated with the input data,

means for providing for information personal to a user, and

contextualisation means which contextualises the downloaded content with the personal information.

2. A user operable portable radio communication device, the portable radio communication device comprising:

a sensor allowing automatic input of data to the portable radio communication device,

a controller for controlling the device,

a browser which downloads content from a server,

the controller responsive to data input via said sensor to control the browser to download content from a server associated with the input data,

means for providing for information personal to a user, and

contextualisation means configured to contextualise the downloaded content with the personal information.

3. A device in accordance with claim 2, wherein the means for providing for information personal to a user comprises a memory configured to store the personal information.

4. A device in accordance with claim 2, wherein the means for providing for information personal to a user comprises the browser downloading the personal information from a server personal to the user.

5. A device in accordance with claim 2, wherein the means for providing for information personal to a user comprises input means for inputting personal information by the user.

11. A device in accordance with claim 3, wherein the means for providing for information personal to a user comprises the browser downloading the personal information from a server personal to the user.

6. A computer program product on a carrier and for a user operable portable radio communication device,

the product comprising:

means for inputting a sensor input, the sensor automatically inputting data to the portable radio communication device,

means for responding to a controller for controlling the device,

a browser which downloads content from a server,

the controller responsive to data input via said sensor to control the browser to download content from a server associated with the input data,

means for providing for information personal to a user, and

contextualisation means configured to contextualise the downloaded content with the personal information.

7. A system including a user operable portable radio communication device and an object device connected to a network,

the portable radio communication device comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting an identity tag indicative of the identity of the portable radio communication device,

the object device comprising a receiver, and a processor,

the system in response to the receiver receiving an identity tag transmitted from a portable radio communication device, the processor authorising the downloading of information via the network to a remote server or terminal in accordance with address information associated with the identity tag.

8. A user operable portable radio communication device comprising:

a transmitter for transmitting an identity tag indicative of the identity of the portable radio communication device, a transmitted identity tag being receivable by a receiver of an object device and being operable to cause downloading of information from the object device via a network to a remote server or terminal in accordance with address information associated with the identity tag.

9. A user operable portable radio communication device according to claim 8, wherein the portable radio communication device is a passive device.

10. An object device comprising a receiver and a processor, and being connectable to a network, the device being so arranged that in response to the receiver receiving an identity tag transmitted from a portable radio communication device, the processor authorises the downloading of information via the network to a remote server or terminal in accordance with address information associated with the identity tag.
