First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for establishing a data communications session between a terminal and a remote device using a mobile device proximate to the terminal, the method comprising:
- establishing a communication link through a wireless communication technology between the terminal and the proximate mobile device wherein the proximate mobile device operates within a cellular wireless network system;
opening a listening port on the proximate mobile device to receive communications through a push messaging service;
receiving, at the listening port and through the push messaging service, a message from the remote device, wherein the message comprises a network address and listening port related to the remote device; and
transmitting the network address and listening port received by the mobile device to the terminal though the wireless communication technology, wherein the terminal receives the network address and listening port, transmits a response to the network address and listening port related to the remote device, and establishes a data connection with the remote device for data communications.
