1. A method for dynamically updating service information from a service provider to a data terminal in an access point network, comprising:
- requesting service information from a local server;
receiving service information from the local server;
mapping the service information to a link-level communication Service Discovery Protocol (SDP); and
sending the mapped service information to a data terminal.

Abstract
A system and method for dynamically updating service information from a service provider to a data terminal in an access point network wherein an access point requests service information from a local server; in response, the access point receives service information from the local server. Subsequently, the access point maps the service information to a link-level communication Service Discovery Protocol (SDP). The access point then sends the mapped service information to a data terminal.

13. A method for dynamically updating service information from a service provider to a data terminal in an access point network, comprising:
-
requesting a list of service information from a local server;
receiving the list of service information from the local server;
requesting attributes for the service information that are not stored in an access point;
receiving the attributes of the service information;
mapping the attributes of the service information from a first SDP to a Bluetooth SDP; and
sending the mapped service information to a data terminal. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
