Patent number: 10848573Abstract: A system is for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect user-selected data items from the host system to the user's mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect particular user-defined events, and to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2012Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Atul Asthana, Gary P. Mousseau, Mihal Lazaridis

Patent number: 9374435Abstract: A system and method of redirecting messages between a mail system and a mobile communications device, upon determining an occurrence of a trigger event that is configured to initiate redirection of messages at the mail system with respect to the user, the system sets a redirection flag associated with the user. Upon detecting arrival of a new message at the mail system for the user, the system determines whether the redirection flag associated with the user is set and if the redirection flag is set, causes an instance of the new message to be packaged for transmission to the mobile communications device associated with the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2007Date of Patent: June 21, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Mihal Lazaridis, Gary P.

Patent number: 9088878Abstract: A technique for use in communicating data messages to a mobile device with use of a host service in a communication system is described. The host service connects with a service node for establishing and maintaining an IP connection between the host service and the service node. The host service receives a data message for the mobile device, and determines whether the mobile device is logged on. In response to determining that the mobile device is logged on, the host service sends the data message to the mobile device without aid of the service node. Otherwise, the host service creates an enable message which identifies the mobile device and includes a subset of the data message, and sends it to the service node over the IP connection for subsequent forwarding to the mobile device in a wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Blackberry LimitedInventors: David P. Yach, Gary P. Mousseau, David Clark, Ronald Scotte Zinn, Michael Thomas Hardy, Nataliya Martsyna

Patent number: 8516055Abstract: A system and method for redirecting data from a host system (or messaging server) to one or more mobile data communication devices via a wireless packet data network is provided in which the wireless packet data network dynamically assigns addresses to the one or more mobile data communication devices on an as-needed basis. A redirector application operating at the host system is configured by each user to continuously redirect certain data to the wireless packet data network, as the data is received (or otherwise altered) at the host system. Two methods are provided for communicating the redirected data from the network to the mobile device. In a first method, the mobile device is configured to periodically contact a store-and-forward server within the wireless network, which, when contacted, assigns a network address to the mobile device and then transmits the stored, redirected data to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2001Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Hugh Hind, Michael Knowles, Noushad Naqvi, David Bajar, Ian M.
