SYSTEM FOR ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS WITH A MOBILE DEVICE SERVER
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- transmitting, by a media processor comprising a processing system, a detection signal to a mobile device, wherein responsive to detecting the media processor, the mobile device transmits a message to a remote server by way of customer premises equipment, wherein the customer premises equipment is in wireless communication with the mobile device and assigned to a first network address, and wherein the message comprises an identifier of a software application of the mobile device, a second network address associated with the software application and a request to initiate the software application in the mobile device;
receiving, by the media processor, an instruction from the remote server to invoke the software application on the mobile device;
transmitting, by the media processor, a first request to the mobile device to execute the software application according to the second network address, wherein the software application facilitates providing media communication services at the mobile device including communications between the mobile device and the media processor; and
receiving, by the media processor, from the mobile device a second request to initiate the media communication services responsive to the mobile device executing the software application.

Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, receiving a message transmitted from a web server application operating in a mobile device and inserting an identifier of a gateway device into the message to produce a modified message. The modified message includes a request to invoke a software application in the mobile device. The modified message is forwarded to a remote server to allow the server to establish communications with a media processor based on the identifier of the gateway device. The media processor invokes the software application in the mobile device based on an address supplied by the web server application allowing the mobile device to execute the software application and to establish media communication services with the media processor responsive to executing the software application. Other embodiments are disclosed.
