Method and apparatus for remote data access in a mobile communication device
First Claim
1. A method at a network controller on a wireless network of remote data access between a first voice and data wireless device and a second voice and data wireless device remote from the first voice and data wireless device, the method comprising:
- receiving a call initiation request from the first voice and data wireless device;
responsive to the call initiation request, initiating a voice call between the first voice and data wireless device and the second voice and data wireless device;
determining whether the voice call has been answered by the second voice and data wireless device;
if the voice call has not been answered by the second voice and data wireless device, receiving a data access request from the first voice and data wireless device, the data access request being separate from the call initiation request and indicating a request to access data from the second voice and data wireless device;
acknowledging the data access request; and
in response to the data access request, switching the voice call to a data call to establish a data access connection between the first voice and data wireless device and the second voice and data wireless device to thereby allow the first voice and data wireless device to retrieve data from the second voice and data wireless device,wherein the first voice and data wireless device and the second voice and data wireless device are portable.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for remote data access in a mobile communication device. A voice call can be initiated between a first voice and data wireless device and a second voice and data wireless device. A data access request can be communicated between the first voice and data wireless device and the second voice and data wireless device. The voice call can be switched to a data call to establish a data access connection. Data can then be transferred between the first voice and data wireless device and the second voice and data wireless device.

9. A system for remote data access between a first voice and data wireless device and a second voice and data wireless device over a wireless network, wherein the first voice and data wireless device and the second voice and data wireless device are portable, the system comprising:
-
a network controller coupled to the wireless network, the network controller configured to control operations on the wireless network; and a remote data access module coupled to the network controller, the remote data access module configured to; receive a call initiation request from the first voice and data wireless device at the network controller, responsive to the call initiation request, initiate a voice call between the first voice and data wireless device and the second voice and data wireless device, determine whether the voice call has been answered by the second voice and data wireless device; if the voice call has not been answered by the second voice and data wireless device, receive a data access request from the first voice and data wireless device, the data access request being separate from the call initiation request and indicating a request to access data from the second voice and data wireless device, acknowledge the data access request, and in response to the data access request, switch the voice call to a data call to establish a data access connection between the first voice and data wireless device and the second voice and data wireless device to thereby allow the first voice and data wireless device to retrieve data from the second voice and data wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
