SYSTEM FOR SELECTING RESOURCES ACCESSIBLE TO A MOBILE DEVICE SERVER
First Claim
1. A portable communication device, comprising a processor adapted to:
- execute a web server application in the portable communication device, wherein the web server application is operable to cause the portable communication device to;
detect a media resource center upon entering a communication zone of the media resource center;
establish communications with the media resource center;
transmit a pairing key to the media resource center;
receive approval to use one or more resources of the media resource center responsive to a validation of the pairing key;
transmit a signal to at least one of the one or more resources;
receive one or more signals from at least one of the one or more resources;
identify a location of at least one of the one or more resources from the one or more received signals;

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium operating in a mobile device server having computer instructions to execute a web server application at the mobile device server. The web server application can be operable to cause the mobile device server to detect a media resource center, to transmit a pairing key to the media resource center, and to receive authorization from the media resource center to pair with one or more resources selected by the media resource center according to the pairing key. The web server application can be further operable to identify a location of the one or more resources, to select a software application according the location of at least one of the resources, and to execute the software application in the portable communication device. Other embodiments are disclosed.
