Method for updating information stored in a communications terminal device intended for mobile use and communications terminal device
First Claim
1. A method for updating stored information which is stored in a non-volatile memory of a communications terminal device intended for a mobile use, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a connection between the communications terminal device and an information provider, the provider having updated information which is addressed by the communications terminal device;
selecting at least parts of the updated information at the communications terminal device;
transmitting only the selected information from the provider to the communications terminal device; and
performing at least one of supplementing the stored information with the selected information and replacing the stored information with the selected information, the at least one of supplementing and replacing including storing the selected information in the nonvolatile memory;
wherein the communications terminal device is used in a car radio, the car radio including an integrated mobile telephone.

Abstract
A method and a communications terminal device intended for mobile use are described, with or in which it is possible in a simple manner to update information stored in the device, for example, components of the system software required for the operation of the device.
A communications terminal device is distinguished by a nonvolatile overwritable or erasable and rewritable memory, the information in which can be replaced and/or supplemented via a connection, preferably a radio link, between communications terminal device and a provider offering updated information.
An updating can be initiated on the request of the user of the device or also by the device manufacturer.
