Patent number: 8880735Abstract: A solution is provided wherein standard mail servers may be used to assist the synchronization of application data across multiple devices. This allows the synchronization of application data without requiring contemporaneous operation of the synchronization partner devices. This may be accomplished by generating a record for each change to a database on a first device. Upon synchronization of the first device with the mail server, the changes since the last synchronization may be uploaded to the mail server and stored in a mailbox for a user associated with the device. If a second device associated with the user then attempts to synchronize with the mail server, the records may be downloaded and the corresponding changes implemented in the database on the second device.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2003Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Peter Robert Tosey

Patent number: 8707406Abstract: An application processor is electrically and logically decoupled from a wireless data network module so that it may go to sleep independently. A security association may be established between the wireless data network module and a wireless data network. Then the application processor may be placed in a suspend state while maintaining the security association between the wireless data network module and the wireless data network. This allows email polling, for example, to occur without having to re-establish the security association by logging in again.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2002Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Peter Robert Tosey

Patent number: 8020114Abstract: The present invention utilizes input handling to provide enter-then-act capability for user inputs. User inputs are received, and a set of one or more secondary applications are executed using the input. A priority rating may then be calculated for each of the one or more secondary applications in the set, the priority rating indicating how pertinent the input was to a corresponding application.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2002Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Peter Robert Tosey

Patent number: 7958198Abstract: Redirecting a notification to a wireless user device includes registering for notification of incoming messages for an account on a message server, the incoming messages being directed to an account on the message server. The redirecting also includes receiving at least one notification and redirecting the at least one notification through a firewall to a wireless user device associated with the account. The remote message server is in communication with a network protected by the firewall. According to one aspect, a cradle is configured to perform the redirection. According to another aspect, the cradle is associated with a remote desktop computer in communication with the network.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 2010Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Peter Robert Tosey

Patent number: 7827604Abstract: The present invention provides a solution in which a script containing general security parameters and access policies in a file is placed on an appropriate internal server. The location of the script may then be stored on an external server. When an end-user within the organization decides to purchase a wireless network device, he may attach it to his existing computer. The computer then may retrieve the security file location from the external server, retrieve the security file from the internal server using the security file location, and program the security file into the wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2007Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventor: Joseph Peter Robert Tosey

Patent number: 7624147Abstract: A solution is provided that allows prompt notification of new e-mail arrival while minimizing the unnecessary loading of mail server and network resources. It provides a short time delay after arrival of new e-mail when the user needs it most, and minimizes the unnecessary loading of resources when the user does not require immediate notification. This is accomplished by establishing a session with the mail server once a predefined event, such as the sending of new e-mail, has occurred. This session may invoke server-initiated-notification of new-email for a limited period of time.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2003Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Peter Robert Tosey, Peter R.

Patent number: 7102620Abstract: An electronic device that has a lower portion that unfolds to reveal an extendable keyboard. When the keyboard is folded closed, a number pad is visible and the device looks similar to a traditional portable or cellular telephone. The device can be used as a personal digital assistant, a cellular telephone, a cordless telephone or as the handset of a traditional wire line telephone. The fold-out keyboard of the electronic device can be used for easy entry of text data while a communication channel is active. The device includes two way messaging and Internet browsing capabilities.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2002Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Sierra Wireless, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Stanely Guy Harries, Jon Theron Winebrenner, Joseph Peter Robert Tosey, Norman Roy Eldridge, Jamian Russell Cobbett, Mark H.

Publication number: 20040125153Abstract: The present invention provides multiple foci so that a user may enter input into multiple objects without having to switch between them. This may be accomplished by mapping certain types of input events to specific objects within the graphical user interface. Thus, when inputs of a certain type are received, one focus is utilized, wherein when inputs of another type are received, a different focus may be utilized.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2002Publication date: July 1, 2004Applicant: Sierra Wireless, Inc. a Canadian corp.Inventor: Joseph Peter Robert Tosey
