A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ACCESSING NETWORK ISOLATED DEVICES 5 A FIRST COMMUNICATION DEVICE (20) WITHOUT DIRECT NETWORK ACCESS SENDS A MESSAGE TO A SECOND COMMUNICATION DEVICE (30) CONNECTED TO A REMOTE NETWORK (40) BY RELAYING THE MESSAGE THROUGH ONE OR MORE MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICES (50). IN ONE EMBODIMENT, A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE (50) COMPRISES A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT (74) CONFIGURED TO ESTABLISH A TEMPORARY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CONNECTION WITH THE NETWORK 10 ISOLATED DEVICE (20) AND TO RECEIVE DATA TRANSFERRED VIA THE TEMPORARY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CONNECTION. FURTHER, THE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CIRCUIT (74) IS CONFIGURED TO TERMINATE THE TEMPORARY WIRELESS COMMUNICATION CONNECTION, TO ESTABLISH A SUBSEQUENT COMMUNICATION CONNECTION WITH A COMMUNICATION DEVICE (50, 42) AND TO TRANSFER THE DATA TO THE COMMUNICATION DEVICE (50, 42) VIA THE SUBSEQUENT COMMUNICATION CONNECTION. 15 ACCORDING TO SOME EMBODIMENTS, A USER OF THE DEVICE (50) IS OFFERED AN INCENTIVE TO ENABLE THE DEVICE (50) TO TRANSFER THE DATA. |
