A system, method and apparatus for installing software at a mobile electronic device are provided, the mobile electronic device enabled for communication with a computing device. A query for available software for installation on the mobile electronic device receiving is received from the computing device, the query directed to a proxy server rather than a public server enabled as a gateway for software downloads. A list of the available software is generated. The list is modified to produce a modified list of approved software. The modified list is transmitted to the computing device such that the approved software can be selected for installation on the mobile electronic device.

Method, system and apparatus for installing software on a mobile electronic device via a proxy server

The present disclosure provides a method for sharing an internal storage of a portable electronic device on a host electronic device and an electronic device configured for same. The internal storage is automatically mounted and dismounted as a network drive on the host electronic device in response to connection events and disconnection events.

A system selects an application program for download. The system includes a host system, such as a personal computer, having a disk sub-system storing a plurality of application programs. The disk sub-system includes a file storing a plurality of identifiers, with each of at least some of the identifiers being associated with one or more of the application programs. A target system, such as a wireless handheld electronic device, includes a hardware identifier and a vendor identifier. A communications channel connects the host system and the target system. An application loader routine executes at the host system, communicates with the target system through the communications channel, requests the hardware and vendor identifiers as a received identifier from the target system over the communication channel, and employs the identifiers and the received identifier to select one of the application programs for download from the host system to the target system.

Method and system for selecting a program for download

A method, system and devices for backing up data on a mobile device connected to a host computer is disclosed. The method comprises: displaying a web page of a web-based device management application in an Internet browser on the host computer, the web page including an interface element for inputting a request to backup data on the mobile device; receiving, via the interface element, the request to backup data on the mobile device; and in response to receiving the request to backup data on the mobile device: obtaining, at the host computer, first data from the mobile device; and storing the first data.

Method, system and devices for communicating between an internet browser and an electronic device

A method, apparatus and system for managing communications between a client machine and a mobile computing device. The mobile computing device comprising: a storage configured to maintain a host application; a processor configured to execute the host application; an interface configured to connect to the client machine, the interface further configured to carry a web request from the client machine to the processor, the host application configured to respond to the web request.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for electronic device recovery are disclosed. An example method includes determining that a software request received from a computing device includes an indication of a repair mode of an electronic device, determining a characteristic of the electronic device, determining software to be provided to the electronic device based on the characteristic, and in response to determining that the software request includes the indication of the repair mode, transmitting location information for the software to the computing device.

Methods, apparatus, and systems for electronic device recovery

A method, device and system for enablement of desktop software functionality based on IT policy comprising determining if IT policy settings are associated with a mobile device connected to the desktop software and restricting functionality of the desktop software based on the IT policy settings for the connected mobile device.

System and method for enablement of desktop software functionality based on IT policy

A system and method are provided for pre-processing encrypted and/or signed messages at a host system before the message is transmitted to a wireless mobile communication device. The message is received at the host system from a message sender. There is a determination as to whether any of the message receivers has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device. For each message receiver that has a corresponding wireless mobile communication device: the message is processed so as to modify the message with respect to encryption and/or authentication aspect. The processed message is transmitted to a wireless mobile communication device that corresponds to the first message receiver. The system and method may include post-processing messages sent from a wireless mobile communications device to a remote system. Authentication and/or encryption message processing is performed upon the message. The processed message may then be sent through the remote system to one or more receivers.

System and method for compressing secure E-mail for exchange with a mobile data communication device

A method of customizing the branding of utility software associated with a customized computer peripheral device. The customized peripheral device includes brand data stored in memory. The utility software includes a branding module that reads the brand data from the peripheral device during installation upon a computer and customizes the utility software based upon the brand data. The brand data may include the custom branding information or may provide a brand identifier that permits the branding module to obtain the correct custom branding information from a remote server.

A method and system for establishing a service relationship between a mobile communication device and a mobile data server for connecting to a wireless network are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, an Internet browser receives a request to establish a service relationship between a mobile communication device and a mobile data server. A device identifier and device capability data is received from the mobile communication device. Service data for the mobile communication device is received from a mobile data administration server in accordance with the device identifier and device capability data, which is then stored in a memory of the mobile communication device.

Method and system for establishing a service relationship between a mobile communication device and a mobile data server for connecting to a wireless network

A method for performing a software upgrade on an electronic device connected to a computer includes displaying a web page including a scripting language within an Internet browser on the computer, the Internet browser including a scripting engine for executing the scripting language; providing a scripting-language capable device controller for interfacing communications between the scripting engine and the electronic device; receiving by the Internet browser of a request to install device software onto the electronic device via a user interface element of the web page; receiving by the device controller of device attribute information from the electronic device in response to the request; sending the device attribute information from the device controller to the scripting engine; sending the device attribute information from the Internet browser; when an upgrade is available, receiving upgrade software for the electronic device, and upgrading device software on the electronic device using the upgrade software.
