Abstract

A method is described for signaling a connection request between data processing devices, in which a connection call (12) is transmitted by broadcast (10), the connection call calling at least one data terminal (2) to set up, via a radio network, a connection (20) suitable for transmitting the data.

Claims

1. A method for signaling a connection request between data processing devices, the method comprising:

transmitting a connection call from a server to data terminals via a first unidirectional radio network by broadcast via a broadcast transmitter; and

calling at least one data terminal to use a second bidirectional mobile network to set up a connection between the server and the at least one data terminal suitable for transmitting the data,

wherein a unidirectional connection call is routed in a different path than a path of a bidirectional direct connection between the server and the at least one data terminal, wherein the second bidirectional mobile network for transmitting the data is set UP via a radio network which is a mobile communications network, wherein a direct connection is set up from the data terminal to a server, which makes the data available, and

wherein the broadcasting system is contacted by a push initiator via a public protocol converter which is a push proxy gateway.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein an access authorization for the data is transmitted by the connection call.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the connection call is transmitted in encrypted form for the at least one data terminal, and wherein the push proxy gateway is integrated into the system operation of the broadcasting system.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising;

matching with a profile of a user of the at least one data terminal and also a query;

wherein additional data are transmitted to an operator of the broadcast.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein a profile of a user of the at least one data terminal and a query are matched, and wherein additional data are transmitted to an operator of the broadcast.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the second bidirectional mobile network for transmitting the data is set up via a radio network which is a mobile communications network.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein a direct connection is set up from the data terminal to a server, which makes the data available.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the broadcasting system is contacted by a push initiator via a public protocol converter which is a push proxy gateway.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the push proxy gateway is integrated into the system operation of the broadcasting system.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein an access authorization for the data is transmitted by the connection call.

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the connection call is transmitted in encrypted form for the at least one data terminal.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein a broadcasting system is contacted directly by a push initiator.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein additional data are transmitted to an operator of the broadcast.

14. The method of claim 1, further comprising;

matching with a profile of a user of the at least one data terminal and also a query.

15. The method of claim 1, wherein the connection between the server and the at least one data terminal is a direct connection.

16. A system for signaling a connection request between data processing devices, comprising:

at least one transmitter arrangement to transmit, via a first unidirectional radio network by a broadcast via a broadcast transmitter, a connection call from a server to at least one data terminal to set up, via a second bidirectional mobile network, a connection between the server and the at least one data terminal suitable for transmitting the data,

wherein a unidirectional connection call is routed in a different path than a path of a bidirectional direct connection between the server and the at least one data terminal, wherein the second bidirectional mobile network for transmitting the data is set UP via a radio network which is a mobile communications network, wherein a direct connection is set up from the data terminal to a server, which makes the data available, and

wherein the broadcasting system is contacted by a push initiator via a public protocol converter which is a push proxy gateway.

17. The system of claim 16, further comprising:

at least one server to provide the data.

18. The system of claim 17, further comprising:

at least one gateway to ensure a wireless exchange of data with the server.

19. The system of claim 16, wherein the second bidirectional mobile network for transmitting the data is set up via a radio network which is a mobile communications network, wherein a direct connection is set up from the data terminal to a server, which makes the data available, and wherein an access authorization for the data is transmitted by the connection call.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the connection call is transmitted in encrypted form for the at least one data terminal, wherein the broadcasting system is contacted by a push initiator via a public protocol converter which is a push proxy gateway, and wherein the push proxy gateway is integrated into the system operation of the broadcasting system.

21. A data terminal, comprising:

a receiver arrangement to receive a connection call from a server to a data terminal, transmitted via a first unidirectional radio network by a broadcast via a broadcast transmitter, by which data provided for the data terminal are announced, and, called by this connection call, to open, via a second bidirectional mobile network, a connection between the server and the at least one data terminal suited to receive the data, wherein a unidirectional connection call is routed in a different path than a path of a bidirectional direct connection between the server and the at least one data terminal,

wherein the second bidirectional mobile network for transmitting the data is set UP via a radio network which is a mobile communications network, wherein a direct connection is set up from the data terminal to a server, which makes the data available, and

wherein the broadcasting system is contacted by a push initiator via a public protocol converter which is a push proxy gateway.

22. A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program executable by a processor, comprising:

a program code arrangement for signaling a connection request between data processing devices, by performing the following;

transmitting a connection call from a server to data terminals via a first unidirectional radio network by broadcast via a broadcast transmitter; and

calling at least one data terminal to use a second bidirectional mobile network to set up a connection between the server and the at least one data terminal suitable for transmitting the data, wherein a unidirectional connection call is routed in a different path than a path of a bidirectional direct connection between the server and the at least one data terminal, wherein the second bidirectional mobile network for transmitting the data is set up via a radio network which is a mobile communications network, wherein a direct connection is set up from the data terminal to a server, which makes the data available, and wherein the broadcasting system is contacted by a push initiator via a public protocol converter which is a push proxy gateway.
