Patent Images
1. A method for synchronizing World Wide Web content between a plurality of mobile devices in a network comprising a plurality of proxies, the method comprising the steps of:
- initiating, through the plurality of proxies, a synchronized session between the plurality of mobile devices;
a first mobile device of the plurality of mobile devices retrieving content from a World Wide Web server through a first proxy of the plurality of proxies;
pushing a location of the content on the World Wide Web in substantially real time to the plurality of mobile devices other than the first mobile device; and
each of the plurality of devices other than the first mobile device retrieving the content from the World Wide Web through at least one of the plurality of proxies to synchronize the content among the plurality of mobile devices such that the content on each of the mobile devices is substantially similar.

Abstract
Wireless access protocol-capable wireless devices are able to synchronize displayed Web content. A first WAP device requests a synchronized session through the sync Proxy of the network. The sync Proxy, through a WAP Push Proxy, sets up the synchronized session. One or both wireless devices may then request content from a Web site. This content is transmitted from the Web site to the first device, and through a WAP proxy to the second device.

11. A method for synchronizing Web content session between a first mobile device and at least a second mobile device of a plurality of mobile devices in a network comprising a Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) Proxy and a Push Proxy Gateway, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, at the first mobile device, a Push Service Indication signal from the Push Proxy Gateway;
transmitting, from the first mobile device, a synchronization accept signal to the WAP proxy;
receiving, at the first mobile device, a Push Service Loading signal from the Push Proxy Gateway, the Push Service Loading signal comprising a Universal Resource Locator representing Web content received by the second mobile device;
transmitting, from the first mobile device, a Get signal to the WAP proxy, the Get signal comprising the Universal Resource Locator;
receiving, at the first mobile device, a Get response signal from the second WAP proxy; and
receiving, at the first mobile device, Web content corresponding to the Universal Resource Locator. - View Dependent Claims (12)

14. A method for synchronizing Web content session between a first wireless device and at least a second wireless device of a plurality of wireless devices in a network comprising a Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) Proxy, a Sync Proxy, and a WAP Push Proxy Gateway, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, at the first wireless device, a Push Service Indication signal from the WAP Push Proxy Gateway;
transmitting, from the first wireless device, a synchronization accept signal to the Sync Proxy;
receiving, at the first wireless device, a signal comprising a Universal Resource Locator from the Sync Proxy, the Universal Resource Locator representing Web content received by the second wireless device;
transmitting, from the first wireless device, a Get signal to a World Wide Web server, the Get signal comprising the Universal Resource Locator and a first profile associated with the first mobile device; and
receiving, at the first wireless device, Web content associated with the Universal Resource Locator, the Web content tailored in response to the first profile. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)

17. A method for operating a network comprising a Wirless Access Protocol (WAP) Proxy, a Sync Proxy, and a WAP Proxy Gateway to synchronize Web content between at least a first wireless device and a second wireless device of a plurality of wireless devices, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving, at the WAP Push Proxy Gateway, a synchronization initiation signal from the first wireless device;
transmitting, from the WAP Push Proxy Gateway, a Push Service Indication Signal to the second wireless device;
receiving, at the Sync Proxy, a synchronization accept signal from the second wireless device;
transmitting, from the Sync Proxy, the synchronization accept signal to the first wireless device;
receiving, at the Sync Proxy, a Get signal from the first wireless device comprising a Universal Resource Locator;
transmitting, from the Sync Proxy, the Get signal to a World Wide Web server;
receiving, at the Sync Proxy, Web content associated with the Get signal;
transmitting, from the Sync Proxy, the Web content associated with the Get signal to the first wireless device;
transmitting, from the Sync Proxy, a signal comprising the Universal Resource Locator to the second wireless device;
