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;
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.
