Communication device with indirect command distribution

Abstract

The invention provides a communication device with a programmably arranged first means, a programmably arranged second means and a programmably arranged third means. The programmably arranged first means requests the programmably arranged second means to transmit the certain command to a non-existing network address, wherein the programmably arranged second means informs the programmably arranged third means about the request to transmit the certain command. The programmably arranged third means executes the certain command in response to the information indicating the request.

1 . A communication device, comprising: 
 a programmably arranged first means, a programmably arranged second means and a programmably arranged third means;    the programmably arranged first means being configured to request the programmably arranged second means to transmit the certain command to a non-existing network address, the programmably arranged second means being configured to inform the programmably arranged third means about the request to transmit the certain command, the programmably arranged third means being configured to execute the certain command in response to the information indicating the request.    
     
     
         2 . The communication device according to  claim 1 , the programmably arranged second means being configured to execute a second computer program providing a Virtual Machine, the programmably arranged first means being configured to execute a first computer program on the Virtual Machine.  
     
     
         3 . The communication device according to  claim 1 , the programmably arranged first means being configured to execute a first computer program providing a non-executable script, the programmably arranged second means being configured to execute a second computer program providing a network browsing functionality, the programmably arranged third means being configured to execute a third computer program providing a user application.  
     
     
         4 . A communication device being configured to execute a first computer program, a second computer program and a third computer program, the first computer program requesting the second computer program to transmit a certain command to a non-existing network address, the second computer program informing the third computer program about the request to transmit the certain command, the third computer program executing the certain command in response to the information indicating the request.  
     
     
         5 . The communication device according to  claim 4 , the second computer program providing a Virtual Machine, the first computer program running on the Virtual Machine provided by the second computer program.  
     
     
         6 . The communication device according to  claim 4 , the first computer program providing a non-executable script, the second computer program providing a network browsing functionality, the third computer program being a user application program.  
     
     
         7 . The communication device according to  claim 4 , the certain command indicating establishing a network connection to a remote network entity via a communication network by the third computer program.  
     
     
         8 . A communication method, comprising: 
 requesting a first computer program by a second computer program to transmit a certain command to a non-existing network address;    providing information indicating the request to a third computer program; and    executing the certain command by the third computer program in response to the information indicating the request to transmit the certain command.    
     
     
         9 . A computer program for performing the method according to  claim 8  when the computer program runs on a computer.  
     
     
         10 . A computer program comprising a first computer program, a second computer program and a third computer program, the first computer program, when running on a computer, requesting the second computer program to transmit a certain command to a non-existing network address, the second computer program, when running on a computer, informing the third computer program about the request to transmit the certain command, the third computer program, when running on a computer, executing the certain command in response to the information about the request.
