ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is disclosed of employing an information device (20) to transfer one or more data items from a remote holding area (32) to a local device (46) in dependence upon an access identifier representing the location of the one or more data items. The method comprises the steps of presenting an audio/visual representation of the access identifier at the information device (20), capturing the audio/visual representation at the local device (46), determining the location of the one or more data items from the captured audio/visual representation, and transferring the one or more data items to the local device (46) from the determined location. In a preferred embodiment, the information device (20) is a mobile device such as a mobile telephone, the audio/visual representation comprises a graphical representation such as a bar code that is displayed on a display (25) of the information device (20), and the bar code representation is captured at the local device (46) using a bar code scanner (49).
