A method for providing presence-related information is provided. The method includes creating a template of presence parameters for an application, storing the template, a presence access layer retrieving the template, the presence access layer using the template to create a profile of at least one presence parameter for the application, and the presence access layer using the profile to specify a presence-related action for the application.

System for assignment of a service identifier as a mechanism for establishing a seamless profile in a contextually aware presence access layer

Wireless data message optimization for messages sent between a wireless device and a server that provides a service that the wireless device is authorized to access is provided using an application gateway that serves as a proxy between the wireless device and the server. The application gateway maps optimized service request messages generated by the wireless device to a service request message format expected by the server, and maps response messages generated by the server to an optimized response message format expected by the wireless device. The optimized message format is flattened by removing unnecessary message structure, eliminates unnecessary message fields, and uses default and enumeration encoding to reduce optimized message size.

System, method and apparatus for optimized wireless messaging

A method of registering a central container application executing on a mobile device with one of one or more mediator services executing on one or more remote servers is provided. Configuration information is received at the mobile device identifying a mediator service of the one or more mediator services the central container application is to register with. The central container application is notified that the configuration information is available. The central container application is registered with the identified first mediator service. The configuration information is retrieved and communication is established with the mediator service identified in the configuration information. Information regarding the current state of the central container application is send to the identified mediator service. Administrative information is then received from the mediator service.

System and method of device-to-server registration

A method for a watcher to receive presence information. The method includes the watcher requesting presence information from a presence access layer and then disconnecting from the presence access layer. The method further includes the presence access layer receiving the requested information through a persistent session with a presence server, storing the requested information, and delivering the requested information to the watcher after the watcher reconnects to the presence access layer.

Use of persistent sessions by a presence access layer

A device-to-server registration system and method of registering a wireless device with a mediator service responsible for allowing the wireless device to communicate with a back-end service are provided. The device-to-server registration system comprises a device-to-server registration module for communicating with a device administration service of the wireless device and a device registration module of a mediator service for registering a wireless device with the mediator service. The device registration module communicates with the device-to-server registration module. The method comprises the steps of communicating with a device administration service of a wireless device to obtain information pertaining to the mediator service and communicating with a device registration module of the mediator service to register with the mediator service.
