1. Method for communicating between a single communications source and a mobile platform, comprising:
- equipping the mobile platform with a broadcast signal receiver device to receive a one-way broadcast signal and a two-way wireless communications device to transmit and receive a wireless two-way message;
receiving a first message broadcast from the single communications source within the one-way broadcast signal at the mobile platform via the broadcast signal receiver device comprising caching a portion of the first message in an electronic memory storage device associated with the mobile platform;
equipping the mobile platform with a software update coordinator;
opportunistically updating executable code of the mobile platform when a portion of the first message cached in the electronic memory storage device comprises executable code for the mobile platform; and
,wirelessly communicating a second message comprising the wireless two-way message between the single communications source and the mobile platform via the two-way wireless communications device.

11. Method for communicating between a single communications source and a mobile platform, comprising:
-
equipping the mobile platform with a transceiver device operative to receive a one-way broadband broadcast signal and execute two-way wireless communications to transmit and receive a wireless two-way message;
an electronic storage device;
a processor; and
, a human-machine interface;receiving the broadcasted one-way broadband signal at the mobile platform by way of the transceiver comprising caching a portion of the broadcasted one-way broadband signal in the electronic memory storage device of the mobile platform; interpreting a first message from the received broadcasted one-way broadband signal; equipping the mobile platform with a software update coordinator; opportunistically updating executable code contained in the mobile platform when the portion of the first message cached in the electronic memory storage device comprises executable code for the mobile platform; forming a second message comprising the wireless two-way message; and
,wirelessly communicating the second message between the single communications source and the mobile platform by way of the transceiver. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
