METHOD AND SYSTEM FACILITATING WEB BASED PROVISIONING OF TWO-WAY MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for provisioning a two-way mobile communications device having a display and a user interface:
- generating a request for provisioning content wherein said request comprises information entered by a user;
forwarding said request over an airnet to a provisioning server device coupled to a landnet;
receiving said requested provisioning content; and
installing said received provisioning content to update operational capabilities of said two-way mobile communications device.

Abstract
A system and method for provisioning a two-way mobile communications device having a display screen and user interface that is initiated from the device to be provisioned. The device to be provisioned establishes a secure communications session with a provisioning server device. The subject communications path may utilize an intermediate server device. The user of the device is then presented with a plurality of input and choice screens, which may be used in conjunction with the user interface to provide user information, select device features and services. The user information and selected feature and service requests are then forwarded to the provisioning server device. The provisioning server device processes the received information and generates provisioning packages, registration requests and notifications for the subject mobile device and for any associated server device providing services. The provisioning packages may comprise software modules, parameters and any required security information.
