Patent number: 11310219Abstract: A system for controlling configuration settings for mobile data communication devices and services includes a redirection server and a policy generation system. The redirection server detects a triggering event in a host system and in response to the triggering event continuously redirects data items from the host system to a wireless network. Each mobile data communication device receives data items from the wireless network and includes a device configuration stored in a memory location on the mobile data communication device. The device configuration of each mobile data communication device controls one or more functions of the mobile data communication device. The policy generation system receives a policy setting from a user interface and stores the policy setting in a user information record associated with a mobile data communication device.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2019Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: James Andrew Godfrey, Wen Gao, Denny K. Chiu

Publication number: 20120233211Abstract: A device is in communication with a server over a wireless network. Items are stored locally in the device. The device receives, from a user of the device, a request to search for items matching a search parameter. The device finds items among the locally-stored items that match the parameter. The device sends a request to the server for the server to search among items stored remotely on the server for items matching the parameter. The device receives, from the server, a list of the remotely-stored items that match the parameter without receiving the items themselves. The device displays, to the user, a composite list of both the locally-stored items and remotely-stored items matching the parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2012Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Ahmed E.
