1. A method for establishing a data communications session between a stationary terminal and a remote device using a mobile device proximate to the stationary terminal, the method comprising:
- establishing a communication link through a wireless communication technology between the stationary terminal and the proximate mobile device wherein the proximate mobile device operates within a cellular wireless network system;
opening a listening port on the proximate mobile device to receive communications through a push messaging service;
receiving, at the listening port and through the push messaging service, a message from the remote device, wherein such message comprises a network address and listening port related to the remote device; and
transmitting the network address and listening port received by the mobile device to the stationary terminal though the wireless communication technology, wherein the stationary terminal receives the network address and listening port, transmits a response to the network address and listening port related to the remote device, and establishes a data connection with the remote device for data communications.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoded with a computer program for establishing a data communications session between a stationary terminal and a remote device using a mobile device proximate to the stationary terminal, the computer program comprising computer executable instructions for:
-
establishing a communication link through a wireless communication technology between the stationary terminal and the proximate mobile device wherein the proximate mobile device operates within a cellular wireless network system; opening a listening port on the proximate mobile device to receive communications through a push messaging service; receiving, at the listening port and through the push messaging service, a message from the remote device, wherein such message comprises a network address and listening port related to the remote device; and transmitting the network address and listening port received by the mobile device to the stationary terminal though the wireless communication technology, wherein the stationary terminal receives the network address and listening port, transmits a response to the network address and listening port related to the remote device, and establishes a data connection with the remote device for data communications. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
