Technical Examples

A mobile station update client facilitates downloading of updated software. This client interacts through a data communication client, using a standard interface. The data client wakes up the update client, in response to a notification from a download server. The update client interacts with the server, to identify resident software for checking against update(s) available from the server. The server does not need to be pre-provisioned with information as to the software or firmware in the mobile station, as this data can be provided by the update client. Also, there is no need for transmission of sensitive subscriber information over the air once a connection is established, because the download client provides the minimal data needed to facilitate the checking and updating of the software. An update is downloaded and stored in dedicated memory in the mobile station. The update client installs the updated software and activates that software for future use.
