Methods and apparatus for automatically causing a mobile device to download a file
First Claim
1. An apparatus for automatically causing a mobile communication device to download a file using a designated remote device, comprising:
- a user interface configured to enable selection of the designated remote device and selection of a designated code corresponding to downloading the file to the mobile communication device from the designated remote device;
a processor that is separate from the designated remote device and configured to;
receive a coded electronic communication subsequent to selection of the designated remote device and the designated code;
identify origination of the coded electronic communication;
determine whether the identified originator of the coded electronic communication is the designated remote device;
identify a code included in the coded electronic communication, upon determining that the identified originator of the coded electronic communication is the designated remote device;
determine whether the identified code included in the coded electronic communication is the designated code; and
provide an instruction to cause the mobile communication device to download the file, upon determining that the identified code included in the coded electronic communication is the designated code.

Abstract
Disclosed methods and apparatus automatically cause a mobile communication device to download a file using a designated remote device. A user interface enables selection of the designated remote device and of a designated code corresponding to downloading the file to the mobile communication device from the designated remote device. A processor: receives a coded electronic communication (CEC), identifies origination of the CEC, determines whether the identified originator of the CEC is the designated remote device, identifies a code included in the CEC, upon determining that the identified originator of the CEC is the designated remote device, determines whether the identified code included in the CEC is the designated code, and provides an instruction to cause the mobile communication device to download the file, upon determining that the identified code included in the CEC is the designated code.

11. A non-transitory recording medium that stores a program for automatically causing a mobile communication device to download a file using a designated remote device via a user interface, the user interface being configured to enable selection of the designated remote device and selection of a designated code corresponding to downloading the file to the mobile communication device from the designated remote device, the program causing a computer to perform the following via a processor that is separate from the designated remote device:
-
receiving a coded electronic communication subsequent to selection of the designated remote device and the designated code; identifying origination of the coded electronic communication; determining whether the identified originator of the coded electronic communication is the designated remote device; identifying a code included in the coded electronic communication, upon determining that the identified originator of the coded electronic communication is the designated remote device; determining whether the identified code included in the coded electronic communication is the designated code; and providing an instruction to cause the mobile communication device to download the file, upon determining that the identified code included in the coded electronic communication is the designated code. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An apparatus for automatically causing a mobile communication device to download a file using a designated remote device, comprising:
-
a user interface configured to enable selection of the designated remote device and selection of a designated code corresponding to downloading the file to the mobile communication device from the designated remote device; means for receiving a coded electronic communication that is transmitted subsequent to selection of the designated remote device and the designated code, the means for receiving being separate from the designated remote device; means for identifying origination of the coded electronic communication; means for determining whether the identified originator of the coded electronic communication is the designated remote device; means for identifying a code included in the coded electronic communication, upon determining that the identified originator of the coded electronic communication is the designated remote device; means for determining whether the identified code included in the coded electronic communication is the designated code; and means for providing an instruction to cause the mobile communication device to download the file, upon determining that the identified code included in the coded electronic communication is the designated code.

22. A method for automatically causing a mobile communication device to download a file using a designated remote device via a user interface, the user interface configured to enable selection of the designated remote device and selection of a designated code corresponding to downloading the file to the mobile communication device from the designated remote device, the method comprising:
-
receiving a coded electronic communication, subsequent to selection of the designated remote device and the designated code, with a processor that is separate from the designated remote device; identifying origination of the coded electronic communication; determining whether the identified originator of the coded electronic communication is the designated remote device; identifying a code included in the coded electronic communication, upon determining that the identified originator of the coded electronic communication is the designated remote device; determining whether the identified code included in the coded electronic communication is the designated code; and providing an instruction to cause the mobile communication device to download the file, upon determining that the identified code included in the coded electronic communication is the designated code.
