Method and system for enabling a communication device to remotely execute an application
DCFirst Claim
1. A communication system capable of enabling one or more communication devices to remotely execute one or more applications, comprising:
- one or more communication devices coupled to a first communication link, at least one of the one or more communication devices adapted to communicate a request to establish a communication session over the first communication link, the at least one communication device comprising a thin-client software program that provides processing services to an application substantially executed at a location remote from the at least one communication device, wherein the first communication link comprises a data connection;
one or more application servers coupled to the first communication link and operable to receive the request communicated over the first communication link; and
one or more repositories coupled to at least one of the one or more application servers and operable to communicate with the one or more application servers, at least one of the one or more repositories having access to one or more applications maintained in a database coupled to the at least one repository, the at least one repository adapted to communicate the identified application over a second communication link to the at least one application server;
wherein the at least one application server is adapted to execute the identified application remote from the at least one communication device and to establish the communication session with the at least one communication device, wherein the at least one application server communicates a request for processing service to the at least one communication device, wherein the request for processing service is communicated to the at least one communication device over the data connection, and wherein the request for processing service comprises one or more queries for information from a user.

Abstract
A communication system capable of enabling one or more communication devices to remotely execute one or more applications includes one or more communication devices that are coupled to a data connection. At least one of the one or more communication devices is operable to communicate a request to establish a communication session over the data connection. The system also includes one or more application servers that are coupled to the data connection. At least one of the one or more application servers is adapted to execute an application to establish the requested communication session with the at least one communication device. The at least one application server resides at a location remote from the at least one communication device. The at least one application server communicates a request for processing service to the at least one communication device. The request for processing service is communicated to the at least one communication device over the data connection.

10. A communication system capable of enabling one or more communication devices to remotely execute one or more applications, comprising:
-
one or more application servers coupled to a first communication link, the first communication link comprising a data connection, at least one of the one or more application servers adapted to execute an application to establish a communication session with at least one communication device coupled to the data connection in response to a request from the at least one communication device to establish the communication session, the at least one application server residing at a location remote from the at least one communication device; wherein the at least one application server is operable to receive over a second communication link an application from a repository having access to one or more applications maintained in a database coupled to the at least one repository, wherein the at least one application server is further operable to execute the received application remote from the at least one communication device and to establish the communication session with the at least one communication device, wherein the at least one application server is operable to communicate a request for processing service to the at least one communication device, and wherein the request for processing service is communicated to the at least one communication device over the data connection, and wherein the request for processing service comprises one or more queries for information from a user. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
