Method and system for coordinating device setting between a communications client and its host device
First Claim
1. A system for propagating device settings to a data communications client from a host on a mobile device, said system comprising:
- at least one host application adapted to operate on the mobile device host and further adapted to change device settings on the mobile device;
a notification means adapted to notify the data communications client of device settings changes on the mobile device;
a mode setting at the data communications client, said mode setting adapted to indicate whether client applications on the data communications client should use device settings from said host; and
a client settings application adapted to receive a notification from the notification means and change device settings for said client applications if said mode setting indicates said client applications should use device settings from said host.

Abstract
A system and method for propagating device settings to a data communications client from a host on a mobile device, the system having at least one host application adapted to operate on the mobile device host and further adapted to change device settings on the mobile device; a notification means adapted to notify the data communications client of device settings changes on the mobile device; a mode setting at the data communications client, the mode setting adapted to indicate whether client applications on the data communications client should use device settings from the host; and a client settings application adapted to receive a notification from the notification means and change device settings for the client applications if the mode setting indicates the client applications should use device settings from the host.

12. A method for propagating device settings to a data communications client from a host on a mobile device, said method comprising the steps of:
-
changing device settings on the mobile device using at least one host application;
notifying the data communications client of device settings changes on the mobile device;
checking a mode setting at the data communications client to determine whether device settings changed at the host should be propagated to the data communications client; and
if the checking step determines changes should be propagated, changing device settings for said data communications client. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
