Patent number: 8694650Abstract: A system and method for distributing information from a host service in communication with a computer network to a mobile station in communication with a wireless network is provided. A data item associated with the mobile station is received at the host service. The host service then determines whether a network resource of the wireless network is currently associated with the mobile station. If the network resource of the wireless network is not currently associated with the mobile station, then the host service transmits a resource request message to the mobile station to instruct the mobile station to acquire the network resource. Subsequently to acquiring the network resource, the host service is then able to transmit the data item to the mobile station using the network resource.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2012Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: Blackberry LimitedInventors: Gary Phillip Mousseau, Barry J.

Patent number: 8583729Abstract: A client for a text-based messaging application for a dual-mode mobile communication device may initiate an audio conference based on a text-based message. Contents of fields of the text-based message may be extracted and utilized to construct an audio conference request message that is subsequently transmitted to an audio conference gateway. Where the text-based messaging application is an instant messaging (IM) client application, it may be configured to recognize a voice connection as being related to an ongoing Data Mode IM conversation. As a consequence of the recognition, the IM client application may maintain the user interface for facilitating participation in the Voice Mode IM conversation. Updates related to the status of the Voice Mode IM conversation may be received at the dual-mode mobile communication device over the voice connection and reflected in changes to the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Gary Phillip Mousseau, Eric Ng

Publication number: 20120113854Abstract: Techniques for use in delivering data from a host service to a mobile device operative in a wireless network are disclosed. The host service is configured to maintain in a host memory an availability status indicative of the availability of the mobile device in the wireless network. A router receives an indication signal from the mobile device within a predetermined interval. The indication signal indicates one or more functional states or parameter levels of the mobile device. When the one or more functional states or parameter levels of the indication signal are indicative of availability, and a cached availability status in cache memory of the router equals to unavailable, the router changes the cached availability status from unavailable to available and transmits the changed availability status from the router to the host service for setting the availability status at the host service.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2012Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Allan David Lewis, Gary Phillip Mousseau
