Abstract

In the field of mobile telephony and more particularly the field of so-called machine-to-machine communication modules, the invention aims to define a notification format for establishing an application session integrating the operator connection parameters. In this case, in the case of GPRS, this entails the name of the gateway and connection identifiers.

Claims

1. Method of establishing an application session by an information processing device called client, having means for communicating with a data communication network through a mobile telephony network, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

a step of receiving a notification according to a first asynchronous communication mode;

a step of extracting from said notification, firstly information for establishing an application session and secondly connection information relating to the operator managing an interconnection gateway between the mobile telephony network and the data communication network;

and in that, in response to the reception of said notification, it comprises the following steps;

a step of initiating a synchronous connection to said gateway using extracted connection information relating to the operator;

a step of initiating an application session by means of the information relating to the application session extracted.

2. Method according to claim 1, characterised in that said notification is received in the form of a short message.

3. Method according to claim 1, characterised in that the step of extracting from said notification, firstly the information for establishing an application session and secondly the connection information relating to the operator managing an interconnection gateway between the mobile telephony network and the data communication network, comprises a step of extracting the name of the gateway, a connection identifier and a password.

4. Information processing device comprising:

means for communicating with a data communication network through a mobile telephony network;

means for receiving a notification according to a first asynchronous communication mode;

means for establishing a connection according to a second synchronous communication mode with an interconnection gateway between the mobile telephone network and the data communication network, said gateway being managed by an operator;

means for establishing with a server an application session through the communication network;

characterised in that it also comprises;

means for extracting from said notification, firstly connection information relating to the operator used to enable establishment of a connection to the data communication network, and secondly information relating to the establishment of an application session,

and in that the means for establishing a connection with the gateway and the means for establishing an application session with the server are activated in response to the reception of said notification.

5. Notification for the establishment of an application session by an information processing device called client having means for communicating with a data communication network through a mobile telephony network, characterised in that it comprises:

the information for establishing an application session; and

the connection information relating to the operator managing an interconnection gateway between the mobile telephony network and the data communication network.

6. Notification according to claim 5, characterised in that it takes the form of a short message.

7. Notification according to claim 5, characterised in that said connection information relating to the operator comprises the name of the gateway, a connection identifier and a password.
