Patent Images
1. A method for managing mobile communications in a mobile terminal, comprising:
- communicating access data from a local area network (LAN) to the mobile terminal through a near-field-communication (NFC) link;
initiating a short-range communication link from the mobile terminal in response to the receipt of the access data by the mobile terminal; and
transmitting routing data, responsive to the short-range communication link, from the mobile terminal to a telecommunication network to cause the telecommunication network to route communications through the short-range communication link.

Abstract
A system for managing mobile communications includes a dual-mode mobile terminal that has a first mobile transceiver configured to perform near-field communication operations and a second mobile transceiver configured to perform short-range communication operations. The system also includes a first network transceiver in a local-area-network (LAN) configured to transmit access data to the first mobile transceiver using near-field communication operations and a second network transceiver in the LAN configured to communicate, using short-range communication operations, with the second mobile transceiver, based on the access data.
