First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method at a server in connection with providing a mobile communication station with access to stored digital data, said server and said mobile communication station being operatively connected to a digital radio communication network, the method comprising:
- assigning an identifier to a particular piece of stored digital data;
initiating transmission of a short message to said mobile communication station by using a short message service provided by said digital radio communication network, wherein said identifier is provided to be included in an originating address data space of said short message;
extracting said identifier from a destination address data space of a short message received from said mobile communication station; and
identifying to which piece of stored digital data access is requested based on the extracted identifier.

Abstract
Short messages, of the kind by a digital radio communication network, are used in connection with providing access to stored digital data over the digital radio communication network. Information identifying a piece of data stored by an application is first transmitted to, and later received from, a mobile communication station by using the address data space of short messages transmitted between the application and the mobile communication station.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said piece of digital data is stored in a storage area allocated to a service subscription with an operator of the server, said service subscription being associated with said mobile communication station, wherein said identifier is unique with respect to said storage area.
-
6. The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
-
extracting a mobile subscription number, which is associated with said mobile communication station in accordance with a telecommunications numbering plan, from said originating address data space of the short message received by the server, wherein said identifying step is performed based on a combination of said mobile subscription number and said identifier.
-
-
7. The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein said identifying act includes:
-
identifying a defined storage area to which the extracted mobile subscription is associated; and
identifying said particular digital data, which is stored in said defined storage area, using the extracted identifier.
-
-
8. The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said server is a mail server and said digital data are e-mail.
-
9. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein said server is a mail server and said storage are is a mailbox administrated by said mail server.
-
10. A computer readable medium storing computer program code means for performing the method as claimed in claim 1 when said computer program code means is run on a computer.
-
11. A method of using a data space designated for addressing information in a short message, the short message being of the kind provided by a short message service in a digital radio communication network, for bi-directional communication of identifiers with a mobile communication station, the method comprising:
-
transmitting an identifier in an originating address data space of a short message transmitted to said mobile communication station; and
extracting an identifier from a destination address data space of a short message received from said mobile communication station. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

-
17. The method as claimed 16, wherein said particular piece of digital data is an e-mail and said storage area is a mailbox for storing received e-mails.
-
18. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable components comprising:
-
a component for assigning an identifier to a piece of stored digital data;
a component for deriving an originating address which includes at least said identifier; and
a component for requesting a short message service provided by a digital radio communication network to transmit a short message with said originating address in its originating address data space, thereby notifying the presence of said piece of stored digital data to a recipient of said short message;
a component for extracting an identifier from the destination address data space of a received short message; and
a component for identifying said piece of stored digital data based on the extracted identifier, thereby identifying the piece of digital data to which an originator of said received short message requests access. - View Dependent Claims (19)
