Method and apparatus for operating a value-added mobile data communication service on top of existing mobile telecommunications networks
First Claim
1. A system for communicating data over a mobile data communications network between a mobile device and a remote entity comprising:
- a mobile application and a connector application both adapted to run on said mobile device;
a destination application that is complementary to said mobile application and adapted to run on said remote entity; and
a peer server connected to the mobile data communications network, said connector application being adapted to establish a network connection over said mobile data communications network between the mobile device and the peer server, and said peer server being adapted to establish another connection to the remote entity;
said mobile application transmitting data between said mobile device and said peer server using an application data transmission protocol provided by said mobile and destination applications that runs on top of a mobile data transport service provided by said mobile data communications network.
