Device content provisioning system
First Claim
1. A method of provisioning a portable electronic device with content data from a networked remotely located content provider, the portable electronic device comprising a first short-range communications module, the method comprising the steps of:
- establishing a first communication channel between a networked electronic bridging device and the portable electronic device, the electronic bridging device comprising a second short-range communications module, and the first communication channel being established using the first and second short-range communications modules, said electronic bridging device being a smartphone;
establishing a second communication channel between the networked electronic bridging device and the networked remotely located content provider;
provisioning the portable electronic device with the content data by transmitting the content data from the remotely located content provider to the portable electronic device using the first and second communication channels;
the content data including an executable application that performs the steps of;
obtaining one or more hardware specifications of the portable electronic device;
providing the one or more hardware specifications to the remotely located content provider;
receiving from the remotely located content provider subsequent content data tailored to the one or more hardware specifications of the portable electronic device; and
the subsequent content data provisioning the portable electronic device to execute secure financial transactions using a near field communication point-of-sale terminal.

14. A method of provisioning a portable electronic device with content data from a networked remotely located content provider using a networked electronic bridging device, the portable electronic device comprising a first short-range communications module and the electronic bridging device comprising a second short-range communications module, the method comprising:
-
establishing a first communication channel between the portable electronic device and the electronic bridging device using the first and second short-range communications module; establishing a second communication channel between the electronic bridging device and the remotely located content provider; receiving content data from the remotely located content provider at the electronic bridging device via the second communication channel, and forwarding the received content data to the portable electronic device via the first communication channel, said portable electronic device selected from the group consisting of;
(a) a key fob;
(b) a smartwatch; and
(c) an integrated circuit (IC) card;the content data including an executable application configured to cause the portable electronic device to perform the steps of; obtaining one or more hardware specifications of the portable electronic device; providing the one or more hardware specifications to the remotely located content provider; receiving from the remotely located content provider subsequent content data tailored to the one or more hardware specifications of the portable electronic device; and the subsequent content data provisioning the portable electronic device to execute secure financial transactions using a near field communication point-of-sale terminal.
