Patent number: 6928291Abstract: A proxy gateway is coupled to one or more wireless hand-held devices over a wireless network and to one or more origin servers over a wired network. The proxy gateway proxies requests and responses between the wireless devices and the origin servers. The proxy gateway determines when private information associated with a wireless device is needed or requested by another network entity, such as an origin server. In response to such determination, the proxy gateway communicates with the wireless device to enable the wireless device to present a user interface which allows a user of the wireless device to dynamically control release of the private information.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: August 9, 2005Assignee: Openwave Systems Inc.Inventors: Jennifer O. Yiu, Ramkumar Venketaramani, Suresh B. Bashyam, Seetharaman Ramasubramani

Publication number: 20040215711Abstract: A mobile services platform (MSP) enables mobile clients on a wireless network to access network servers on a wireline computer network. The MSP comprises applications for execution during transactions between mobile clients and network servers in response to requests from mobile clients, and services for automatic invocation during communications between mobile clients and network servers. The MSP also includes a network services management subsystem that includes a proxy to proxy requests and responses between network servers and mobile clients. The MSP also includes a subscriber and service management subsystem to manage mobile subscriber data and subscriptions and to manage the applications and services to which subscribers have access. The MSP further includes a developer services management subsystem to enable and control access by external entities to subscriber-related information in the mobile services platform, and an administration subsystem to enable administrative operations to be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2002Publication date: October 28, 2004Applicant: Openwave Systems Inc.Inventors: Bruce K.

Patent number: 6742127Abstract: A secure push server is disclosed. The push server is used for sending notifications to different wireless clients on different wireless networks. The push server allows information service providers to send notifications to the wireless clients. The information service providers initiate a request to the push server that includes updated information. The request also includes a certificate from the information service provider. The push server authenticates the request from the information service provider by verifying the certificate. The push server also determines if the certificate was issued from an acceptable certificate authority by examining an acceptable certificate authority list. Finally, the push server checks the content of the notification to be sure it does not interfere with other information service providers. After performing the security checks, the push server processes the notification request.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2002Date of Patent: May 25, 2004Assignee: Openwave Systems Inc.Inventors: Mark A. Fox, Peter F. King, Seetharaman Ramasubramani

Patent number: 6654786Abstract: A unified interface is disclosed for sending update notifications to different wireless clients on different wireless networks. The update notifications may be push notifications or pull notifications. Push notifications include a data payload with updated information. Pull notifications merely specify an address where update information is available. The updated information must be “pulled” using the supplied address. Several maintenance requests are provided for querying notification status, deleting individual notifications, and clearing all notifications addressed to a particular subscriber.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2000Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Openwave Systems Inc.Inventors: Mark A. Fox, Peter F. King, Seetharaman Ramasubramani, Bruce K. Martin, Jr., Stephen S. Boyle

Patent number: 6516316Abstract: The present invention discloses a centralized certificate management system for thin client devices in data networks and has particular applications to systems having a large number of the thin clients serviced by a proxy server through which the thin clients communicate with a plurality of secure server computers over a data network. According to one aspect, the present invention comprises a certificate management module that causes the server device to manage digital certificates for each of the thin client devices. To minimize the latency of obtaining certificates for each of the thin client devices, the certificate management module reserves a fixed number of free certificates signed by a certificate authority and their respective private keys in a certificate database and frequently updates the free certificate according to a certificate updating message.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2000Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Openwave Systems Inc.Inventors: Seetharaman Ramasubramani, Peter F.

Patent number: 6507589Abstract: Techniques for routing messages to addressable portions (e.g., processes) within an apparatus are disclosed. The techniques can be performed by a variety of apparatus including, for example, a gateway, a proxy server or a mobile device. After receiving the messages routed thereto, the addressable portions are able to process the messages and perhaps return a reply message. Often, the apparatus is a gateway or proxy server coupled between a network containing remote computers storing information and a wireless communication system including a plurality of mobile devices. The processing of the message will typically act to produce a message that forwards certain of the information from one or more of the remote computers on the network to a mobile device coupled to the wireless communication system.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1998Date of Patent: January 14, 2003Assignee: Openwave Systems Inc.Inventors: Seetharaman Ramasubramani, Stephen S.

Patent number: 6138158Abstract: The present invention has particular applications to the navigation of Internet web pages using two-way interactive communication devices, such as a mobile device, a mobile phone, a landline telephone, and an Internet capable remote controller. According to one aspect of the present invention, each of the two-way interactive communication devices is a node in a distributed network, thus the devices can access hypermedia or hierarchic layers of information stored in server devices on the network. When one or more pages of information are updated, rather than sending the entire updated information to users of the devices subscribing to the updated information through the network, the present invention sends a notification to a proxy server that forwards the notification to the users using a messaging system via a low cost narrowband channel. Upon receiving the notification, the users can fetch the updates, when needed, through a wideband channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 1998Date of Patent: October 24, 2000Assignee: Phone.Com, Inc.Inventors: Stephen S.
