System and method for pushing encrypted information between a host system and a mobile data communication device
First Claim
1. A method of redirecting data items from a messaging host system to a user'"'"'s mobile device, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a new data item for the user at the messaging host system;
forwarding a copy of the new data item to a redirector host system;
determining whether the new data item should be redirected from the redirector host system to the user'"'"'s mobile device; and
if the new data item should be redirected, then encrypting the new data item to form an encrypted new data item; and
packaging the encrypted new data item into an electronic envelope and transmitting the electronic envelope to the user'"'"'s mobile device.

Abstract
A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is disclosed. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect certain user-selected data items from the host system to the user'"'"'s mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event-generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect a particular user-defined event, and then to encrypt and repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device.

51. A method of redirecting E-mail messages from a messaging host system to a user'"'"'s wireless mobile device, comprising the steps of:
-
detecting an E-mail message for the user at the messaging host system;
forwarding a copy of the E-mail message from the messaging host system to a wireless redirector host system;
receiving the forwarded E-mail message at the wireless redirector host system and applying a set of user-defined filtering rules that determine whether or not to redirect the E-mail to the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device via a wireless network coupled to the wireless redirector host system; and
if the filtering rules determine that the E-mail message is of the type that should be redirected, then encrypting the E-mail message to form an encrypted E-mail message and redirecting the encrypted E-mail message to the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device by packaging the encrypted E-mail message in an electronic envelope that includes a wireless network address of the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59)

60. A system for redirecting data items from a network to a user'"'"'s wireless mobile device, comprising:
-
a messaging host system coupled to the network for receiving data items associated with a particular user and for forwarding the received data items to a predetermined address on the network; and
a redirector host system associated with the predetermined address for receiving the forwarded data items from the messaging host system and for encrypting and redirecting the forwarded data items to the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80)

81. A method of operating a host system configured to redirect E-mail messages from the Internet to a user'"'"'s wireless mobile device, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving an E-mail message from the Internet for a particular user;
accessing a user profile database to determine whether the particular user is an authorized user of the host system;
if the user is an authorized user of the host system, then accessing a filter rules database to apply a set of user-defined filtering rules to the E-mail message that determine whether the E-mail message is the type of message that the user wants to have redirected to its wireless mobile device; and
if the filtering rules determine that the E-mail message should be redirected, then encrypting the E-mail message and repackaging the encrypted E-mail message into an electronic envelope including the address of the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device and forwarding the electronic envelope to a wireless gateway system for transmission onto a wireless data network associated with the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device.

82. A method for redirecting messages between an Internet Service Provider (ISP) host system and a plurality of mobile devices, the method comprising the steps of:
-
configuring redirection settings for one or more mobile device users at the ISP host system;
receiving incoming messages directed to a first address at the ISP host system from a plurality of message senders;
in response to the redirection settings, continuously encrypting and redirecting the incoming messages from the ISP host system to the mobile device via a redirector host system;
receiving encrypted outgoing messages generated and encrypted at the mobile communications device at the redirector host system;
decrypting the received encrypted outgoing messages to recover the outgoing messages;
configuring address information of the outgoing messages so that the first address is used as an originating address of the outgoing messages; and
,transmitting the configured outgoing messages to message recipients.

83. A method of redirecting electronic data items from a host system associated with a user to the user'"'"'s mobile data communication device, comprising the steps of:
-
configuring an external redirection event at the host system, wherein the external redirection event is the host system sensing whether the user is in the physical vicinity of the host system;
receiving electronic data items at the host system; and
if the host system senses that the user is not in the physical vicinity of the host system, then continuously encrypting the electronic data items and redirecting the encrypted data items to the user'"'"'s mobile data communication device until the host system senses that the user is in the vicinity of the host system. - View Dependent Claims (84, 85, 86)
