System and method for delivery of information over narrow-band communications links. The system has at least a browser ( ), a mobile client ( ), a fixed server ( ) and an origin host ( ). The browser ( ) requests a resource. The mobile client ( ) transmits the request to the fixed server ( ). The fixed server ( ) retrieves a primary resource from the origin host ( ) and any dependent resources. The fixed server ( ) transmits the primary resource to the mobile client ( ). The mobile client ( ) transmits an acknowledgment list to the fixed server ( ) requesting certain dependent resources and sends the primary resource to the browser ( ). The fixed server ( ) transmits the requested dependent resources to the mobile client ( ) in one transmission. The mobile client ( ) sends the dependent resources to the browser ( ) upon request. Thus, only transmitting two round-trips of data across the narrow-band communications link to transfer all the necessary data to create an entire information page reduces the delay significantly.

System and method for delivery of information over narrow-band communications links

A communications device ( ) with a processor having instructions that execute on the processor. The programmed instructions include a message manager program ( ) for accepting and dispatching messages, one or more application programs ( ) for handling and presenting messages; and one ore more message client programs ( ) that receive messages from the message manager program ( ) and provides them to the application program. The message manager program ( ) accepts a registration from each message client program and sets rules, and message attributes to which the rules are to be applied for new messages.

Apparatus and method for handling dispatching messages for various applications of a communication device

System and method for delivery of information over narrow-band communications links. The system has at least a browser (12), a mobile client (10), a fixed server (30) and an origin host (50). The browser (12) requests a resource. The mobile client (10) transmits the request to the fixed server (30). The fixed server (30) retrieves a primary resource from the origin host (50) and any dependent resources. The fixed server (30) transmits the primary resource to the mobile client (10). The mobile client (10) transmits an acknowledgment list to the fixed server (30) requesting certain dependent resources and sends the primary resource to the browser (12). The fixed server (30) transmits the requested dependent resources to the mobile client (10) in one transmission. The mobile client (10) sends the dependent resources to the browser (12) upon request. Thus, only transmitting two round-trips of data across the narrow-band communications link to transfer all the necessary data to create an entire information page reduces the delay significantly.
