A method and apparatus for deriving presence information of a mobile device at a presence node in a wireless system, the method having the steps of: analyzing a message received from the mobile device to determine a message type; and allocating a state for the mobile device depending on the message type found in the analyzing step. The apparatus is a presence node for deriving and maintaining presence information of a mobile device in a wireless system, the mobile device communicating with a network node, the presence node having: a communication system for communicating with the network node; a processor; and an application running on the processor, the application having means for analyzing a message received from the mobile device at the network node to determine a message type; and allocating a state for the mobile device depending on the message type found in the analyzing step.

Method and apparatus for deriving presence information using message traffic analysis

In one embodiment, a scheme is provided for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device which includes logic means operable to generate a temporary Personal Information Number (PIN) for transmitting in a request to a network node. Upon validating the request, a response is provided by the network node to the mobile communications device, the response including a permanent PIN assigned to the mobile communications device.

System and method for assigning a personalized indicium to a mobile communications device

A computer readable medium encoded with computer executable instructions thereon for execution by a processor of a mobile communication device () comprises a code segment () for message processing, which may include a code segment for rule comparison, a code segment for message routing and a code segment for default message handling. The message processing code segment () processes an incoming message received via a data service network (). The message processing code segment () subsequently compares a portion of each incoming message to at least one criterion contained in at least one message routing rule having a message database object () associated with it, stores each incoming message meeting each criterion for a message routing rule in the message database object () associated with that message routing rule, and stores all messages not routed to a message database object () according to a message routing rule into a default message database object ().

Mobile communications device employing multiple data storage locations for electronic messages

A handheld device includes a host database having first and second API associated therewith, a client database and a notification handler. The notification handler sends a request for notification of a change in the host database to the first API and receives the notification of the change in the host database after the change has occurred in the host database. The notification handler then requests contents of the host database from the second API and requests contents from the client database. These contents are then compared by the notification handler to identify the change in the host database. The notification handler then sends a command to update the client database based upon the change in the host database such that changes made in the host database of the handheld device may be continuously synchronized with the user's desktop computer via a wireless communication network.

System and method for integrating continuous synchronization on a host handheld device

A mobile communications device () comprises a message receipt and routing logic structure (), which may include a rule comparison logic structure, a message routing logic structure and a default message handling logic structure. The message receipt and routing logic structure () receives an incoming message via a data service network (). The message receipt and routing logic structure () subsequently compares a portion of each incoming message to at least one criterion contained in at least one message routing rule having a message database object () associated with it, stores each incoming message meeting each criterion for a message routing rule in the message database object () associated with that message routing rule, and stores all messages not routed to a message database object () according to a message routing rule into a default message database object ().
