Integrating mobile devices into a fixed communication infrastructure

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer program products for use with a wireless communication network. A fixed communication network includes a device server and a fixed information technology (IT) device coupled with the device server. A mobile communication device is coupled by the wireless communication network with the device server and with the IT device. The device server is configured to store identification information for the IT device. The mobile communication device is configured to determine a current location of the mobile communication device, to request the identification information for the IT device from the device server over the wireless communication network, to receive the identification information for the IT device over the wireless communication network from the device server, and to transmit a service request, based upon the identification information, over the wireless communication network to the IT device.

主权项

1. A method for coupling a mobile communication device with a fixed communication network including a device server and a plurality of information technology (IT) devices each having identification information registered at the device server, the method comprising:
determining a current location of the mobile communication device; sending, from the mobile communication device over a wireless communication link with the fixed communication network, the current location of the mobile communication device and a request for the identification information for the IT devices from the device server; receiving the identification information for one or more of the IT devices at the mobile communication device over the wireless communication link with the fixed communication network from the device server; and based upon the identification information, transmitting a service request from the mobile communication device over the wireless communication link with the fixed communication infrastructure to one of the IT devices for which the identification information is received.
