SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INITIATING AUXILIARY COMMUNICATION INTERFACES VIA A MEMBERSHIP-BASED NETWORK

摘要

A system, apparatus and method for utilizing a first communication interface(s) to initiate communications via a second communication interface(s). Auxiliary communication information ( 104 A) is communicated from an initiating device ( 100 ) to a target device(s) ( 110 ) via a first membership-based communication interface ( 112 ). In response to the auxiliary communication information ( 104 A), an auxiliary communication module is activated at the target device ( 110 ) for communication via a second (over-the-air) OTA communication interface ( 116 ). The target device ( 110 ) may then communicate with the initiating device ( 100 ) and/or other devices ( 120 ) via the second OTA communication interface ( 116 ).
