Communication with a mobile device
First Claim
1. A synchronizer for a mobile device, comprising:
- memory for containing identification data and message data;
said synchronizer operative at least part of the time when the mobile device is inactive to establish communication with a base station, to provide from said memory identification data enabling said base station to establish communication between said synchronizer and a server, and where message data is waiting to be transferred between said server and said mobile device to enable transfer of message data waiting to be transferred; and
said synchronizer operative when the mobile device is active to transfer message data between said mobile device and said memory of said synchronizer.

Abstract
An embodiment of a synchronizer for a mobile device comprises memory for containing identification data and message data. The synchronizer is operative at least part of the time when the mobile device is inactive to establish communication with a base station, to provide from memory identification data enabling the base station to establish communication between the synchronizer and a server and, where message data is waiting to be transferred between the server and the mobile device, to enable transfer of message data waiting to be transferred. The synchronizer is operative when the mobile device is active to transfer message data between the mobile device and the memory of the synchronizer.

18. A system for synchronizing a mobile device with a server, comprising:
-
a base station capable of communicating with the server;
a synchronizer attached to the mobile device and operative while the mobile device is inactive to connect with the base station;
said synchronizer comprising memory for identification data and message data; and
a processor on said base station or on said synchronizer arranged to establish communication through the base station between the server and the synchronizer using said identification data, to determine from information stored in at least one of said server and said synchronizer whether messages from said mobile device are waiting to be uploaded to said server or messages are waiting on said server to be downloaded to said mobile device and to cause uploading or downloading of said waiting messages. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
