Patent number: 11930012Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for customization of a mobile communications device's data session retry mechanism in a wireless packet data service network. The mobile communication device requests activation of a data session with a node via the wireless network and receives a reject message via the wireless network in response to the request for activation of the data session, the reject message including a cause code. If the cause code corresponds to a no-retry behavior of the data session retry mechanism of the mobile communication device, the mobile communications device no longer requesting activation of a data session with the node.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2022Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Jean-Philippe Paul Cormier, Thomas Leonard Trevor Plestid, Ian Simpson, Arun Munje

Publication number: 20230353809Abstract: An example system includes an in-vehicle content-delivery system (CDS) on a vehicle storing a library of content, and a content server including a content portal. The content portal may receive a request for a customized content manifest from the CDS, identify the vehicle, identify a customized content manifest, and provide the customized content manifest to the CDS. The customized content manifest may include a list of content customized for an itinerary and/or the vehicle, and wherein the customized content manifest differs from another content manifest customized for a different itinerary and/or a different vehicle. The CDS may remove first content from the library of content when the first content is not included in the list of content, and load second content to the library of content when the second content is included in the list of content and not already present in the library of content.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2023Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Christopher M. Rippe, Ian Simpson, Grant Burton

Patent number: 8515391Abstract: In one embodiment, a scheme is provided for customization of a mobile communications device's data session retry mechanism in a wireless packet data service network. Upon detecting that a cause code has been returned by a node disposed in a wireless packet data service network, a structure is interrogated to determine if the cause code is mapped to a flag relating to the device's data session retry mechanism. Responsive to determining that the received cause code is mapped as a critical cause code, the data session retry mechanism of the mobile communications device is disabled so that further signaling messages towards the network are prevented.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2009Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Jean-Philippe Cormier, Thomas Leonard Trevor Plestid, Ian Simpson, Arun Munje
