Abstract: A system for executing an application on a mobile device may include a mobile device and a server in communication with the mobile device. The mobile device may include one or more widgets, a widget framework configured to receive a query from at least one of the widgets, and an encapsulator application configured to encapsulate the query. The computer-readable storage medium may include one or more programming instructions for performing one or more of the following: receiving the encapsulated query from the encapsulator application, extracting the query from the encapsulated query, and transmitting an update associated with the one or more widgets to the mobile device.

Abstract: A system for running an application on a mobile device may include a mobile device having an application associated with a service provider, a computing device in communication with the mobile device and a computer readable storage medium in communication with the computing device. The computer readable storage medium may have one or more programming instructions for determining an inactive time associated with the mobile device, determining whether the inactive time is equal to or greater than a threshold value and in response to the inactive time being equal to or greater than the threshold value, sending a message to the mobile device. The inactive time may represent a length of a period of inactivity associated with the mobile device, and the message may include one or more instructions to activate the application.

Abstract: A system of provisioning contact information associated with one or more contacts of a communication device user may include a first processing device associated with a first service provider, a first computer-readable storage medium in communication with the first processing device and a second processing device associated with a second service provider and in communication with the first processing device. The first computer-readable storage medium may include instructions for receiving a mobile device identifier corresponding to a mobile device associated with a user of a second service provider, sending a message having an authorization code to the mobile device associated with the user, and receiving the mobile device identifier and the authorization code, receiving contact information associated with one or more contacts of an address book associated with the user, updating the received contact information and updating contact information associated with the user in one or more second address books.

Abstract: A method of conserving client resources associated with a mobile device may include receiving a data message for an intended subscriber of a mobile solution provider, storing the data message in a computer readable storage medium, and, in response to receiving the data message, determining whether a TCP socket can be opened with a mobile device associated with the intended subscriber. If a TCP socket can be opened, the method may include opening a TCP socket with the mobile device and sending to the mobile device one or more instructions for activating the mobile device. A request for data transfer may be received from the mobile device, and the data message may be retrieved from the computer-readable storage medium. The data message may be sent to the mobile device over the TCP socket.
