System and method for pushing information from a host system to 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 packaging the 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 repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device.

34. 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 redirecting the E-mail to the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device by packaging the E-mail message in an electronic envelope that includes the wireless network address of the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)

43. 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 redirecting those data items to the user'"'"'s wireless mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)

54. 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, then accessing a filter rules database to apply a set of user-defined filtering rules to the E-mail message that dictate 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 E-mail message clears the filtering rules, then repackaging the 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.
