Abstract

The present invention provides a peer-to-peer data communication system and method that allows a first handset and a second handset to engage in data communications over a wireless communication network. In doing so, the first handset creates a server opcode set and combines the server opcode set with a corresponding server data payload. The server opcode set and corresponding server data payload are then sent to a network server where the data is extracted and the opcodes are translated into executable instructions that are carried out. The executable instructions cause the network server to compile a remote opcode set and a corresponding remote data payload. This remote opcode set and remote data payload are sent to the second handset, which is identified by the first handset in the server data payload. When the second handset receives the remote opcode set and remote data payload, the second handset extracts the remote data payload and executes the instructions corresponding to the opcodes in the remote opcode set. Execution of the instructions causes an action to be performed on the second handset that consummates a data communication between the first handset and the second handset.
