System and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device
First Claim
1. A method of pushing data items from a host system to a mobile data communication device comprising the steps of:
- detecting an event trigger at the host system; and
in response to detecting the event, continuously redirecting the data items from the host system to the mobile data communication 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 repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device.

27. A method of replicating data between a first system and a second system comprising:
-
establishing a first set of data elements at the first system as subject to replication with a corresponding set of data elements at the second system;
detecting an event trigger has occurred at the first system;
providing an indication of the data element in the first set of data that has changed to the second system by placing information in an electronic wrapper delivered to the second system as part of a data transfer transaction;
initiating the data transfer transaction thereby transferring the electronic wrapper to the second system;
receiving the electronic wrapper at the second system;
processing the electronic wrapper; and
updating each element in the corresponding set of data elements that requires updating as a result of the change in the data element in the first set of data elements.

38. A method of remotely controlling a host system from a personal communications device comprising the steps of:
-
establishing at the host system a set of commands that can be invoked to require the host system to act in response to invocation of any such command;
sending from the personal communications device a direction to the host system to invoke a command from the set of commands;
invoking the command at the host system; and
processing the command so that the host responds to the command.

44. A system for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device, comprising:
-
a communications network over which the host system and the mobile data communications device can communicate;
a redirector program comprising;
software instruction means for prompting a user to select certain data items of information to be pushed to the mobile device;
software instruction means for defining one or more events that will trigger the system to begin pushing the selected information; and
software instruction means for detecting the occurrence of the one or more events and for pushing the selected data items of information from the host system to the mobile data communication device via the network; and
a software program operating at the mobile data communications device for receiving the data items of information from the host system. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
