Abstract

A downloading device is provided. The downloading device is connected to a server and a portable device. The portable device is for obtaining a picture of an object that includes an address data of required data stored in the server. The downloading device includes a communication module, an address recognizing module, and a downloading module. The communication module is for receiving the obtained picture transmitted from the portable device. The address recognizing module is for recognizing the address data from the received picture and changing the recognized address data to a character string. The downloading module is for downloading the required data from the server according to the address data through the communication module and transmitting the required data to the portable device through the communication module.

Claims

1. A downloading device connected to a server and a portable device, the portable device for obtaining a picture of an object that includes an address data of required data stored in the server, the downloading device comprising:

a communication module for receiving the obtained picture transmitted from the portable device;

an address recognizing module for recognizing the address data from the received picture and changing the recognized address data to a character string; and

a downloading module for downloading the required data from the server according to the address data through the communication module and transmitting the required data to the portable device through the communication module.

2. The downloading device as described in claim 1, further comprising an identifying module for determining whether the user of the portable device has a use authority of the downloading device, if the user of the portable device has a use authority of the downloading device, the address recognizing module is active.

3. The downloading device as described in claim 2, wherein the identifying module generates a notice and transmits the notice to the portable device through the communication module if the user of the portable device does not has the use authority of the downloading device.

4. The downloading device as described in claim 2, wherein a predetermined identification data is stored in the downloading device, the way of determining the use authority of the downloading device is:

when identification data transmitted from the portable device is received, the identifying module compares the received identification data with the predetermined identification data to determine whether the identification data is matched with the predetermined identification data, if the identification data matches with the predetermined identification data, the user of the portable device has a use authority, if the identification data does not match with the predetermined identification data, the user of the portable device does not have the user authority.

5. The downloading device as described in claim 4, wherein the portable device is a cell-phone, the identification data is the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the cell-phone.

6. The downloading device as described in claim 4, wherein the identification data is biometric data of the user collected by the portable device.

7. The downloading device as described in claim 1, wherein the address data includes an address beginning indication, an actual address, and an address end indication, during recognizing the address data, the address recognizing module first recognizes the scheme name in the address data, and then obtains the actual address when the address end indication is recognized.

8. The downloading device as described in claim 7, wherein the address recognizing module recognizes the address data according to the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology.

9. A portable device, being connected to a server, comprising:

a picture obtaining module for obtaining a picture of an object which includes an address data of required data stored in the server;

a data storing module for storing the obtained picture;

an address recognizing module for recognizing the address data in the obtained picture and changing the recognized address data to a character string; and

a downloading module for downloading the required data from the server according to the address data through a communication module.

10. The portable device as described in claim 9, wherein the address data includes an address beginning indication, an actual address, and an address end indication, during recognizing the address data, the address recognizing module first recognizes the scheme name in the address data, and then obtains the actual address when the address end indication is recognized.

11. The portable device as described in claim 10, wherein the address recognizing module recognize the address data according to the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology.

12. The portable device as described in claim 9, wherein the portable device is connected to the server through GSM or CDMA connection.

13. A data downloading method, comprising:

obtaining a picture of an object which includes an address data of required data stored in a server;

storing the obtained picture;

recognizing the address data in the obtained picture and changes the recognized address data to a character string; and

downloading the required data from the server according to the address data.

14. The method as described in claim 13, further comprising determining whether user has a use authority to download the required data stored in the sever before recognizing the address data in the obtained picture, if the user has a use authority, the address data recognizing step is implemented.

15. The method as described in claim 14, further comprising generating a notice if the user of the portable device does not has the use authority.

16. The method as described in claim 14, wherein the way of determining the use authority comprising:

comparing the received identification data with a predetermined identification data to determine whether the identification data matches with the predetermined identification data.

17. The method as described in claim 13, wherein the address data includes an address beginning indication, an actual address, and an address end indication, during recognizing the address data, recognizing the scheme name in the address data firstly, and then obtaining the actual address when the address end indication is recognized.
