A method for use by a mobile device configured to operate in a wireless network for the communication of data messages with a server is described. The method comprises receiving, at a mobile device, an indication that a pending message is available for retrieval from a host service, and communicating directly with the host service to retrieve the pending message from the host service.

System and methods for data communications in a wireless communication system

Techniques for use by a mobile device configured to operate in a wireless network for the communication of data messages with a server are described. When the mobile device does not have an open session with the server, the mobile device receives from a service node via the wireless network a message which informs the mobile device that a data message has arrived at the server and needs to be retrieved. The message includes an identifier which identifies the data message at the server. In response to opening an application at the mobile device, the mobile device communicates directly with the server via the wireless network for retrieving the data message. This involves commencing an open session with the server, sending to the server a command for retrieving the data message, and receiving from the server the data message in response to sending the command. The mobile device may use the identifier for retrieving the data message from the server.

A method, system and apparatus for managing persona-based notifications at a communication device are provided. A port is dynamically assigned to an application on the basis of a persona at a communication device, the application enabled to receive notifications from a given provider. The port is registered with a server to receive the notification. The port is opened to receive notifications associated with the persona for the application from the server.

A router receives from a host service a message which is intended for delivery to a mobile device via a wireless network. The message includes an indication field which includes a return packet indication on whether to send a return packet to the host, an identifier field which includes an identifier which identifies the device, and a payload field which includes a payload of the message. When the indication is set to a first, setting and the message is not being delivered to the device, the router sends to the host a return packet which indicates that the message is not being delivered to the device. When the indication is set to a second setting and the message is not being delivered to the device, the router does not send to the host the return packet which indicates that the message is not being delivered to the device.

System and method of message delivery in a wireless communication network

A method of tracking a first wireless communications device using another computing device, such as a second wireless communications device, includes obtaining current position data for the first wireless communications device and obtaining one or more of speed data, time data, and path data for the first wireless communications device. The first wireless device then transmits the current position data and at least one of the speed data, time data and path data to the second wireless communications device or other computing device. In addition to current position data, the speed, path and time data facilitate tracking of the first wireless communications device. When a first mobile user wants a second mobile user to follow him, the first mobile user can put his device in 'follow me' (tracking) mode. This is particularly useful when the first and second mobile users are traveling in respective cars or other vehicles.

Mobile Tracking

A method server and system for propagating a mobile communication device state are provided. State data defining a state of a mobile communication device is received from the mobile communication device at a server in communication with the mobile communication device. The state data is incorporated into wireless network data transmitted from the mobile communication device. The state data is stored in a resource indicator storing at the server. A request for the state data is received from a second server. At least a subset of the state data is transmitted to the second server, such that the second server can determine whether the mobile communication device is in a state to handle incoming data.

Method, server and system for propagating a wireless communication device state

In one embodiment, a network architecture is described for facilitating delivery of data items over a communications network to a mobile communications device. A remote services server disposed in an enterprise network is operable for detecting a data item at a computer system and for processing the data item into processed information that includes address information relating to the mobile communications device. A service gateway disposed in an Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network is operably connected to the remote services server for receiving the processed information using a first protocol, wherein the service gateway includes functionality to transmit the processed information using a second protocol over the IMS network based on routing information obtained from an IMS-aware node.

Architecture for service delivery in a network environment including IMS

A method and system for distributing data between a first user and a second user by detecting direct or indirect communication between the first user and the second user, creating an entry for the second user in a roster for the first user, populating the entry for the second user in the roster of the first user with data elements and attributes of the data elements, the data elements and attributes of the data elements indicating what data can be shared with the second user and how the data is to be shared and utilizing the roster of the first user to distribute data reflecting the first user to the second user.

Method and system for distribution of presence information

A system for managing the exchange of data items between a mail database on a mail server and a mobile communication device operable to send and receive data items over a wireless network, wherein the mail database and the mobile communication device are associated with a user address and wherein the data items are stored in the mail database and referenced by corresponding mail database identifiers, includes a state database associated with the user address. The state database is operable to receive and store the mail database identifiers corresponding to the data items stored in the mail database.
