  • Method and Appartus for Remote Software Installation and Execution on a Mobile Device
    Publication number: 20100298011
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for remotely installing and executing software on a mobile device. A work item is formed that includes the software to be installed and executed, and a remote-execution command message is sent to the mobile device. The mobile device authenticates the remote-execution command message before extracting the remote-execution command and using it to request a download of the work item. The remote-execution command message is preferably an SMS message including a hook so that it is quickly recognizable as a remote-execution command message by the mobile device. When the work item arrives, it is authenticated before it is executed. When the mobile device determines that the execution is complete, it sends a notification to the remote-execution server.
