Patent number: 8856288Abstract: Embodiments of methods and apparatuses for distributing configuration data to one or more mobile terminals. An embodiment of one method of the invention includes receiving from the host application a request from a client to transmit a configuration data value to a mobile terminal. The configuration data value can include a designation of a new precedence level for a mobile terminal corresponding to a new operating characteristic of the mobile terminal. The method can include the step of transmitting from the NMC a configuration data value including the new precedence level to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can include a mobile application defining a previous precedence level such that the mobile terminal loads the configuration data in response to the new precedence level different from the previous precedence level.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: October 7, 2014Assignee: Omnitracs, LLCInventors: Sapna Mehta, Lawrence Aldredge, Daphna Zeilingold, Daniel A. Deninger, Philippe Bergman

Publication number: 20070268057Abstract: Methods and apparatus for applying changes to a group of objects. A method is provided for applying one or more changes to a group of objects. The method includes communicating the one or more changes to the group of objects at one or more communication times, and receiving one or more acknowledgement signals. The method also includes determining a sync time indicator associated with a selected object, wherein the sync time indicator indicates a time when a selected acknowledgement signal has been received from the selected object for each change communicated prior to the sync time indicator, and comparing the sync time indicator with a last communication time to determine whether the one or more changes have been applied to the selected object.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 20, 2006Publication date: November 22, 2007Inventors: Vandana Gopal, Mohanraj Umapathy, Philippe Bergman, William Stone
