Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a mobile communication device, and method for controlling power saving features at the mobile device. A processor in the mobile device may be used to establish a network connection with a server in a first network. The mobile device may also include a transceiver that initiates transmission of a message to the server to determine if an incoming call request has been received via a second network. Advantageously, the transceiver is in a low power mode of operation for a selectable time interval when not communicating with the server.

19. A communications system comprising:
-
a server configured to store data for a mobile communications device;
a mobile communications device, in communication with the server, comprising;
a processor configured to operate the mobile communications device in at least a sleep mode for a predetermined duration and an active mode, and a transceiver, controlled by the processor, configured to transmit a message to the server upon expiration of the predetermined duration to indicate the mobile communications device is in the active mode; and
wherein the server, in response to receiving the message, is further configured to transmit the data to the mobile communications device. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
