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 repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device. The system includes attachment processing components for identifying one or more attachment displayers in the vicinity of the mobile data communication device and then routing an attachment from the host system directly to a selected attachment displayer.

25. A system for redirecting a datagram having an attachment, comprising:
-
a host system for receiving the datagram and for separating the datagram into a message element and an attachment element, the host system including;
a redirector component for redirecting the message element to a mobile data communication device; and
an attachment component for redirecting the attachment to an attachment displayer located nearby the mobile data communication device;
wherein the mobile data communication device is configured to locate nearby attachment displayers using a short-range wireless transceiver.

43. A method of redirecting datagrams, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a datagram having at least one attachment;
determining the type of attachment;
locating an attachment displayer that is capable of processing the type of attachment using a short-range wireless communication; and
redirecting the attachment to the located attachment displayer.

44. A method of redirecting datagrams with at least one attachment between a host system, at least one mobile device, and at least one attachment displayer, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a datagram with at least one attachment at the host system;
detecting the at least one attachment at the host system;
determining the type of attachment at the host system;
determining the geographical location of the mobile device;
selecting an attachment displayer in the geographical proximity of the mobile device that is capable of processing the type of attachment; and
redirecting the attachment from the host system to the selected attachment displayer. - View Dependent Claims (46)

45. A method of redirecting a message, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a message at a host system, the message having a first attachment in a first format;
converting at least a portion of the first attachment from the first format into a second format, thereby creating a second attachment;
redirecting the message with the second attachment from the host system to a mobile device;
displaying the message; and
, displaying the second attachment.
