Abstract

A method (50) and system (10) of retrieving data using a push-to-talk connection includes the wireless communication unit (12), a user interface (14) allowing a user to selectively choose at least one link (16) from the user interface, and a processor (18) coupled to the user interface. The processor can be programmed to transmit the at least one link or a representation of the at least one link to a server (22) using the push-to-talk connection and receive data associated with the at least one link using the push-to-talk connection. The system can enable the user to selectively create (51) the at least one link to a website for subsequent retrieval of data from the website. The processor can be store (52) the at least one link at the wireless communication unit and upload the at least one link to the server having access to a website.

Claims

1. A method of retrieving data using a push-to-talk connection, comprising the steps of:

user selectively accessing at least one link from a wireless communication unit;

transmitting the at least one link or a representation of the at least one link to a server using the push-to-talk connection; and

receiving data associated with the at least one link using the push-to-talk connection.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the step of user selectively creating the at least one link to a website for retrieval of data from the website.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the method enables a user to selectively create the at least one link using a computer having a web browser and interface or link to the internet or using a mobile web browser or a JAVA or BREW software application on the wireless communication unit.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the step of storing the at least one link at a wireless communication unit.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the method further comprises the step of uploading the at least one link to the server having access to a website.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the push-to-talk connection is a push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) connection.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the push-to-talk connection is performed over an iDEN network, a UTMS network, a CDMA network, a WiMax network, or a GSM network.

8. A system of retrieving data using a push-to-talk connection, comprising:

a wireless communication unit;

a user interface on the wireless communication unit allow a user to selectively choose at least one link from the user interface; and

a processor coupled to the user interface, wherein the processor is programmed to;

transmit the at least one link or a representation of the at least one link to a server using the push-to-talk connection; and

receive data associated with the at least one link using the push-to-talk connection.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the system enables the user to selectively create the at least one link to a website for subsequent retrieval of data from the website.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the system enables the user to selectively create the at least one link using a computer having a web browser and interface or link to the internet or using a mobile web browser on the wireless communication unit.

11. The system of claim 8, wherein the processor is further programmed to store the at least one link at a wireless communication unit.

12. The system of claim 8, wherein the processor is further programmed to upload the at least one link to the server having access to a website.

13. The system of claim 8, wherein the push-to-talk connection is a push-to-connect over cellular connection.

14. The system of claim 8, wherein the push-to-talk connection is performed over an iDEN network, a UTMS network, a CDMA network, a WiMax network or a GSM network.

15. A wireless communication unit capable of retrieving data using a push-to-talk connection, comprising:

a transceiver;

a user interface on the wireless communication unit allowing a user to selectively choose at least one link from the user interface; and

a processor coupled to the user interface and transceiver, wherein the processor is programmed to;

transmit the at least one link or a representation of the at least one link to a server using the push-to-talk connection; and

receive data associated with the at least one link using the push-to-talk connection.

16. The wireless communication unit of claim 15, wherein the wireless communication unit enables the user to selectively create the at least one link to a website for subsequent retrieval of data from the website.

17. The wireless communication unit of claim 16, wherein the wireless communication unit enables the user to selectively create the at least one link using a computer having a web browser and interface or link to the internet or using a mobile web browser on the wireless communication unit.

18. The wireless communication unit of claim 15, wherein the processor is further programmed to store the at least one link at a wireless communication unit using a mobile web browser or a JAVA or BREW software application on the wireless communication unit.

19. The wireless communication unit of claim 15, wherein the processor is further programmed to upload the at least one link to the server having access to a website.

20. The wireless communication unit of claim 15, wherein the push-to-talk connection is a push-to-connection is performed over an iDEN network, a UTMS network, a CDMA network, a WiMax network or a GSM network.
