Definitions

  • the present invention relates to accessing data on computer networks, and more particularly to accessing such data via remote terminals.
  • ISP Internet service provider
  • the ISP provides connection to the Internet, which allows the user to request data (for example, when an address or a hyperlink is followed), and allows the user to send data to an Internet site (for example, sending credit card details, personal preferences etc).
  • Connection to an ISP is usually made through a telecommunications link which remains open whilst the user is browsing the Internet. The telecommunications link remains open even when the user is not actually sending or receiving data.
  • the connection is maintained even though the user may be reading that page.
  • the connection is only terminated by the user at the end of a browsing session. Whilst the connection is maintained, a user is typically charged for the communications. Charges are typically levied either according to the length of time the telecommunications link remains open, or on the amount of data downloaded via the telecommunications network.
  • one aim of the present invention is to improve browsing on mobile terminals.
  • a method of accessing information on a computer network on a communication device comprising: receiving, via the second network, unsolicited information from the computer network, wherein the information contains an identifier identifying further information on the computer network; requesting, via the first network, further information from the computer network, wherein the further information is based on the received identifier; and receiving the further information via one of the first or second networks.
  • a communication device for accessing information on a computer network, the device capable of communicating with a first communications network and receiving a signal from a second communications network, the device comprising: a receiver for receiving, via the second network, unsolicited information from the computer network, wherein the information contains an identifier identifying further information on the computer network; a transceiver for requesting, via the first network, further information from the computer network, wherein the further information is based on the received identifier.
  • the present invention provides many advantages, both to the user and to the service provider.
  • the Internet site owner may broadcast an amount of Internet data to many users.
  • the Internet data may represent a so-called ‘home page’, be a number of Internet pages from an Internet site, or be a summary or site map of an Internet site.
  • home page a so-called ‘home page’
  • Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other alternatives are also possible.
  • a user upon receiving the broadcast data may freely browse the received data and can then decide whether he wishes to go on-line to browse the actual Internet site.
  • the user also benefits from this arrangement, since he may receive free data which he may browse at his leisure. If the data is of no interest, he simply ignores it. If the data is of interest, the user may quickly access the Internet site. Only when the user goes on-line is he charged for accessing the information.
  • the Internet site owner may also benefit due to a higher number of users accessing his site, therefore increasing sales or advertising revenue.
  • the network provider may also benefit due to the increased number of calls being made to access the Internet.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing how a mobile terminal 100 is connected to a computer network 116 , such as the Internet, according to the prior art.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a system according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

  • the mobile terminal 100 comprises an antenna 102 for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a cellular network 112 .
  • the mobile terminal 100 comprises a transmitter/receiver module 104 , which controls the transmission and reception of data via the antenna 102 .
  • a controller 106 controls the function of the mobile terminal 100 to enable the mobile terminal to make and receive telephone calls, as well as to provide the functions required to enable the mobile terminal to be used for browsing the Internet 116 .
  • the mobile terminal 100 also comprises a display module 108 , connected to the controller 106 for displaying information from the Internet or the cellular network to a user.
  • a subscriber identification module (SIM) 110 is connected to the controller 106 to allow authentication of the user and other security functions which are well understood in the art.
  • SIM subscriber identification module
  • the mobile terminal 100 In order to browse the Internet 116 , the mobile terminal 100 must first make a point-to-point connection with a service provider 114 , via the cellular network 112 .
  • the Internet service provider (ISP) 114 is connected to the Internet and acts to transmit data to and receive data from the mobile terminal 100 thereby allowing the mobile terminal to browse the Internet. Whilst browsing is taking place, the connection between the mobile terminal 100 and the Internet service provider 114 must be maintained until the browsing session is terminated. Typically, charges are levied by the cellular network for making the connection between the mobile terminal 100 and the service provider.
  • Browsing the Internet can be costly due to above-mentioned charges. Moreover, browsing the Internet can be slow, due to bandwidth restrictions. This can be particularly frustrating if a user of a mobile terminal knows the location of the page of information in the Internet he wishes to browse, but in order to get to that page has to navigate from a home page through several sub-pages.
  • FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a system according to a first embodiment according to the present invention.
  • a mobile terminal 200 comprises an antenna 202 for transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a cellular network 212 .

In certain situations it may be more economic to use the broadcast network for the transmission of data to the mobile terminal.
  • the initial data received via the broadcast network is used as a trigger to encourage a user to go on-line.
  • a company may have an Internet site providing details of the company and a range of products or services on offer.
  • the company may arrange to have some Internet data broadcast via the DVB network to mobile terminals, such as 200 .
  • the Internet data broadcast may be the so-called home page of the Internet site, may be a summary of the Internet site, or even a site map of the Internet site with links allowing each section of the Internet site to accessed directly.
  • the broadcast of the Internet data is preferably unsolicited and may be directed towards all mobile terminals, or may be specifically targeted to individual or groups of mobile terminals according to a database of user profiles.
  • the database of user profiles may be used to identity users to whom data is to be sent, which may be via point-to-point, multicast or broadcast transmissions. In this way, the Internet data may be transmitted to those users most likely to be interested in the Internet site of the company.
  • the unsolicited information may optionally contain a content identifier, which identifies the subject matter of the information.
  • each mobile terminal may be configured with a user defined filter to filter out unsolicited information having a content identifier not defined by the user. For example, a user may define a set of subjects of interest, such as sport, leisure, finance, etc., and the mobile terminal will therefore filter out any unsolicited information which does not conform to the user preferences.
  • the broadcast Internet data may be broadcast in a very quick and very cost-effective manner.
