Automated application-selective processing of information obtained through wireless data communication links
First Claim
1. Method comprising:
- receiving data through a radio frequency identification reader at a portable processor based terminal device in response to transmission of one or more radio frequency interrogation signals by the radio frequency identification reader;
extracting, at the portable processor based terminal device, one or more data records from said received data, wherein said one or more data records each comprise at least one content data and an associated identifier, the associated identifier relating to a type of content of the respective content data;
displaying, by the portable processor based terminal device, a set of two or more options, wherein each option of the two or more options corresponds to a respective one of two or more applications compatible with said at least one content data based on said type of content in the portable processor based terminal device;
receiving a user-selection of any one of said two or more options from said displayed set of options;
selecting a specific application of the two or more applications, based on the received user selection, wherein said specific application is compatible with said at least one content data;
initiating said specific application; and
supplying said at least one content data to said initiated application for being processed therewith.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method for automated application-selective processing of data by a portable processor based terminal device and the portable processor based terminal device enabled to perform the aforementioned method. The data is receivable wirelessly from an external counterpart data provision entity. One or more content data is extracted from the wirelessly received data. Then it is checked whether an application, which is currently carried out on the portable processor based terminal device, is applicable or compatible with the one or more content data and in case a content data is applicable with the current running application, the content data is supplied to the application, which processed on the supplied content data accordingly.
