Abstract

The digital word management system has a radio telephone network (20) and a terminal (1) accessing an information network (30). The management process accesses the information network from the terminal acquiring digital words and associating the digital words with a reference which is memorised. The digital reference is pass across the radio telephone network. The digital reference is read from a digital base (21) when required and returned to the terminal, where the association with the digital words is made.

Description

 The present invention relates to mobile telephones and in particular the management of the data which they process.

 Mobile phones are now used to access and acquire data from the Internet, as are personal computers.

However, mobile phones only have limited memory and therefore cannot store all of the data they want. This therefore represents a limitation in the use of data.

 The present invention aims to remove this limitation.

- on associe une référence aux données, - on transmet les données et leur référence à une base de stockage des données accessible à travers le réseau de radiotéléphonie, et - pour relire les données stockées, on transmet la référence à la base et celle-ci fournit en retour au terminal les données associées à la référence. To this end, the invention relates to a method of data exploitation by a terminal of a radiotelephony network, terminal having access to a computer network for supplying data, method in which - the terminal is accessed by the computer network and we acquire data there,

- a reference is associated with the data, - the data and their reference are transmitted to a data storage base accessible through the radiotelephony network, and - to re-read the stored data, the reference is transmitted to the base and the latter provides back to the terminal the data associated with the reference.

 Thus, the database constitutes a memory extension of the terminal, directly accessible from it.

 The invention will be better understood with the aid of the following description of a preferred embodiment of the method of the invention, with reference to the single appended figure, which represents a cellular radio telephone terminal, for the implementation work of the method of the invention, connected to a data storage base.

 The radiotelephony terminal shown, referenced 1, includes radio circuits 11 for connection with the GSM network 20, connected to a browser functional block 12 for a computer network, here the Internet 30. The browser block 12 is connected at the output, internal side , to a block 13 for capturing and processing data originating from the Internet 30. Block 13 comprises input circuits 131 temporarily storing the data received from the Internet 30 and the

 transmitting to data selection circuits 132, eliminating for example advertising. The circuits 132 collaborate with circuits 133 for assigning a reference, such as an icon, the name of the user of the terminal, or the like, to the selected data.

 The circuits 133 are connected to a storage control circuit 14 which stores the successive references in a memory 15. This memory can be a smart card (for example a SIM card), with the advantage of preserving the data if one changes the terminal.

 The selected data and their reference are transmitted, by circuits 132 and 133, to a short message exchange circuit 16 SMS, which includes them in a short message SMS and transmits this, through the radio circuits 11, to destination of a data storage base or server 21 accessible for writing and reading through the GSM network 20, for example a central directory.

 The data storage base 21 could be accessible through a computer network such as the Internet 30 or any other data transport network.

 The data storage base 21 constitutes a remote memory of terminals such as the terminal 1, the management or exploitation of the data being carried out as indicated below.

- on associe aux données une référence que l'on mémorise, - on transmet les données et leur référence, en fait une copie de celle mémorisée, à la base de stockage des données 21 accessible à travers le réseau de radiotéléphonie 20, et - pour relire les données stockées, on transmet la référence à la base 21 et celle-ci fournit en retour au terminal 1 les données associées à la référence. To this end, the computer network 30 is accessed by the terminal 1 and data is acquired there,

- a reference is associated with the data which is stored, - the data and their reference are transmitted, a copy of the stored one, to the data storage base 21 accessible through the radiotelephony network 20, and - for reread the stored data, the reference is transmitted to the base 21 and the latter supplies the terminal 1 with the data associated with the reference.

 It will be noted that if, in this example, access to the computer network, Internet 30, is carried out through the GSM radio network 20 connected to this

 lastly, the terminal 1 could, in another example, access the computer network 30 by a channel other than the radiotelephone network 20. In particular, the terminal 1 can be provided to connect to a second radiotelephone network connected to the computer network 30 or also include a connector and appropriate circuits for connection to the PSTN switched telephone network, for accessing an Internet access service provider 30. The data storage base 21 can in particular be accessible through a portal Internet and, in such cases, the WAP protocol is used.

 Furthermore, the radiotelephone network 20 can be considered to be both a data transmission network and a data supply computer network, such as the Internet 30, since the radiotelephone terminals are capable of generating data useful for terminal 1 and that, in addition, the wired network terminals can reach, through these, the radiotelephony network 20.

 To choose the reference, the user of the terminal 1 scans the memory 15 to display the content thereof on a display 19 and select the desired reference by a keyboard 18. The memory 15 transmits the selected reference to the circuit 16 which here sends an SMS message corresponding to the data storage base 21.

 The data received back in the terminal 1 are stored there, in circuits not shown, displayed on command, and can be exploited by a central unit thereof.
