Patent number: 9253272Abstract: There are provided methods, systems, devices and computer program products for reliable delivery of content packages to a client device. Push delivery of content packages is combined with pull delivery when a push delivery fails. When a client device participates in a push delivery but fails to complete, a recommendation for corrective action may be notified and, following such corrective action, the client device pulls delivery. Respective content listings are maintained by server and client device for reconciliation to prompt pull delivery by the client device.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Jacob Samuel O'Reilly, Michael LeBlanc
