REMOTE ACCESS TO A MASS MEMORY AND A SECURITY MEMORY IN A PORTABLE COMMUNICATING OBJECT
First Claim
1. Method for remotely accessing a mass memory and a security memory in a portable communicating object by a server via a communications network, the portable communicating object being associated with a terminal, comprising the following steps:
- providing an agent in the terminal for routing data transfers between the remote server and one or the other of the memories of the portable communicating object,setting up a communication channel between the remote server and the agent in the terminal,transmitting data from one of the two elements comprising the server and one of the memories of the portable communicating object to the agent in the terminal, andprocessing the data transmitted to the agent so that the agent transfers the transmitted data to the other of the two elements.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system for remotely accessing a mass storage unit and a security storage unit in a portable communicating object. According to the invention, a terminal, such as a mobile device, which is associated with a portable communicating object, such as a multimedia smart card, includes an agent for facilitating access from a server to a mass storage unit capable of storing multimedia data and a security storage unit in the portable communicating object via a communication network. The agent establishes a single communication channel between the remote server and the terminal and processes data transmitted from one of the two elements including the server and one of the storage units of the portable communicating object to the agent so that the agent can transmit the data to the other of the two elements.

7. A computer-readable medium having stored therein a program capable of being implemented in a terminal associated with a portable communicating object so that a server can remotely access either a mass memory or a security memory in the portable communicating object via a communications network, said program comprising instructions which, when the program is run in said terminal, carry out the following steps:
-
providing an agent in the terminal for routing data transfers between the remote server and one or the other of the memories of the portable communicating object, setting up a communication channel between the remote server and the agent in the terminal, transmitting data from one of the two elements comprising the server and one of the memories of the portable communicating object to the agent in the terminal, and processing the data transmitted to the agent so that the agent transfers the transmitted data to the other of the two elements.
