Abstract

A mobile terminal may either receive a script, or request to receive a script, which specifies a third party procedure to generate content on the mobile terminal. The script defines the procedure, manual or automatic, to be used for the content generation. If manual content generation is required, then the user of the mobile terminal is queried for the content to be generated through an input procedure as directed by the script. If automatic content generation is required, then the script executes without user interaction to generate the content. In either case, the generated content is then readily accessible from the mobile terminal via a location within the WEB site name space as directed by the script.

Claims

1. A WEB server configuration system, comprising:

a plurality of configuration entities interconnected via a network and adapted to provide configuration scripts;

a mobile terminal coupled to the network and adapted to receive a configuration script from the plurality of configuration entities, the mobile terminal being configured as a WEB server in response to executing one of the configuration scripts; and

a browsing entity coupled to the network and adapted to receive content from the mobile terminal, wherein the content becomes visible to the browsing entity in response to the execution of the configuration script.

2. The WEB server configuration system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a proximity interface adapted to proximately couple the mobile terminal to the network to receive the configuration script.

3. The WEB server configuration system according to claim 2, wherein the proximity interface comprises a Bluetooth interface.

4. The WEB server configuration system according to claim 2, wherein the mobile terminal further comprises a non-proximity interface configured by the configuration script to accept content requests from the browsing entities.

5. The WEB server configuration system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a non-proximity interface adapted to couple the mobile terminal to the network to receive the configuration script.

6. The WEB server configuration system according to claim 5, wherein the non-proximity interface is configured by the configuration script to accept content requests from the browsing entities.

7. A mobile terminal capable of being wirelessly coupled to a network which includes a configuration element capable of uploading configuration scripts to the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal comprising:

a network interface capable of being coupled to receive the configuration scripts and adapted to store the configuration scripts for subsequent execution;

a WEB server module coupled to access the configuration scripts and adapted to execute the configuration scripts in response to an authorization signal; and

a content storage container coupled to the WEB server module and adapted to deliver content to the network in response to the authorization signal.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 7, wherein the network interface includes a proximity interface adapted to facilitate a proximity connection between the mobile terminal and the configuration element.

9. The mobile terminal according to claim 8, wherein the proximity interface includes a Bluetooth interface adapted to automatically detect a presence of the mobile terminal, the configuration scripts being uploaded in response to the automatic detection.

10. The mobile terminal according to claim 9, wherein a second network interface is configured by the execution of the configuration script to enable content delivery to the network.

11. The mobile terminal according to claim 10, wherein the content delivery is automatically delivered to the network without user intervention.

12. The mobile terminal according to claim 10, wherein the content delivery is manually delivered to the network through user intervention.

13. The mobile terminal according to claim 7, wherein the network interface is configured by the execution of the configuration script to enable content delivery to the network.

14. The mobile terminal according to claim 13, wherein the content delivery is automatically delivered to the network without user intervention.

15. The mobile terminal according to claim 13, wherein the content delivery is manually delivered to the network through user intervention.

16. A computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon which are executable by a mobile terminal for facilitating local content transfer to network elements by performing steps comprising:

receiving scripts from a configuration entity of a network;

executing the scripts to make the local content visible to the network; and

granting access to the configuration entity to receive the local content from the mobile terminal in response to executing the scripts.

17. A method of configuring a mobile terminal as a WEB server in a network, comprising:

receiving configuration scripts from a configuration entity of the network;

approving the configuration scripts for execution; and

authorizing network access to local content contained within the mobile terminal in response to executing the configuration scripts.

18. The method according to claim 17, wherein the configuration scripts are received in response to a request for the configuration scripts.

19. The method according to claim 18, wherein the local content is advertised in a registry in response to executing the configuration scripts.

20. The method according to claim 17, wherein the configuration scripts are received in response to detecting a proximity location of the mobile terminal relative to the configuration entity.

21. The method according to claim 20, wherein authorizing network access includes activating a link to the local content, wherein the link is contained within the configuration script.

22. The method according to claim 21, wherein the local content is generated through user interaction with the mobile terminal.

23. The method according to claim 21, wherein the local content is generated automatically without user interaction with the mobile terminal.
