Patent number: 11019196Abstract: A system and method for integrating voice and data operations into a single mobile device capable of simultaneously performing data and voice actions. The mobile device working in a network capable of exchanging both cell phone calls and data items to the mobile device. By wearing an earphone or an ear-bud device the user is capable of dealing with voice conversations while working with data centric information related to the current caller. By providing a data-centric device with voice capabilities there is a new range of features that allow incoming data events to trigger outgoing voice events.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2019Date of Patent: May 25, 2021Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Gary Phillip Mousseau, David Paul Yach, Mihal Lazaridis, Harry Richmond Major, Raymond Paul Vander Veen, Atul Asthana

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: 8295817Abstract: In one illustrative example, a technique in a server to facilitate a re-establishing of communication over a data connection between an application server and a wireless communication device which communicates via a base station of a wireless communication network is described. In response to a communication loss between the wireless device and the wireless network which causes the data connection to be terminated, the server receives from the application server a plurality of connection requests which are intended for receipt by the wireless device for re-establishing the data connection. The server operates to limit the number or a rate of the connection requests allowed to pass from the server to the base station of the wireless network during the communication loss between the wireless device and the wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2010Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Nicholas Patrick Alfano, Noushad Naqvi, Sarmad K.
