A system and method for interfacing Web Services push applications and mobile terminals operable with one of a plurality of different mobile push technologies. A Web Services push gateway includes a Web Services endpoint to terminate Web Services protocols utilized by the Web Services push applications in providing push messages. A plurality of mobile push bearers are each configured to communicate with a different one of the plurality of mobile push technologies. The Web Services push gateway includes a push router coupled to the Web Services endpoint to receive the push messages, and to forward the push messages to an elected one of the mobile push bearers, from where is it ultimately delivered to a recipient mobile terminal employing a mobile push technology corresponding to the elected mobile push bearer.

Web services push gateway

A system and method for provisioning mobile clients on a network for use of network service applications via a provisioning Web service. At least one mobile terminal is coupled to at least one network service via the mobile client provisioning Web service. The provisioning Web service provides a single point of interface to the network service for provisioning the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is provisioned by the provisioning Web service for use of at least one application provided by the network services where the provisioning includes at least configuring the mobile terminal for use of the application, and delivering the application to the mobile terminal.

Mobile client provisioning web service

The invention relates to a method of invoking privacy related to a user equipment () capable of accepting push messages in communications network, which push message is a message a server may send to the user equipment () without the user of the user equipment () asking for it and the server having the ability to be able to act as a push message initiator. The method comprises the steps of: (i) sending a first request for the personal user data from the user equipment () to an origin server () over a first channel (A); (ii) the origin server () sending a request for personal user data to a supporting server (); (iii) the supporting server () sending a push message over a narrow band channel (C) to the user equipment () indicating said request for the user data made by the origin server (); (iv) the user equipment () responding to the push message at least by an allowing message or a disallowing message for the request of data over said narrow band channel; and (v) the supporting server () providing the data to the origin server () at least partly in response to the allowing message, and rejecting the data providing otherwise.
