Abstract

A scheme for pushing user data items from a messaging host system in real-time delivery to a wireless mobile data device that is associated with a computer connected over a network to the messaging host system. In one embodiment, a method comprises one or more of the following: automatically detecting arrival of a user data item at the messaging host system, wherein the user data item is addressed to a recipient'"'"'s address that is viewable via the computer; processing at least a portion of an instance of the user data item to add address information associated with the recipient'"'"'s wireless mobile data device to result in a processed data item; and sending the processed data item to the wireless mobile data device over a wireless network, whereby the at least a portion of the instance is pushed to the wireless mobile data device in real-time delivery.

Claims

1. A method of pushing user data items from a messaging host system in real-time delivery to a wireless mobile data device that is associated with a computer connected over a network to the messaging host system, the method comprising:

automatically detecting arrival of a user data item at the messaging host system, wherein the user data item is addressed to a recipient'"'"'s address that is viewable via the computer;

processing at least a portion of an instance of the user data item to add address information associated with the recipient'"'"'s wireless mobile data device to result in a processed data item; and

sending the processed data item to the wireless mobile data device over a wireless network, whereby the at least a portion of the instance is pushed to the wireless mobile data device in real-time delivery.

2. A system for pushing user data items from a messaging host system in real-time delivery to a wireless mobile data device that is associated with a computer connected over a network to the messaging host system, the system comprising:

means for automatically detecting arrival of a user data item at the messaging host system, wherein the user data item is addressed to a recipient'"'"'s address that is viewable via the computer;

means for processing at least a portion of an instance of the user data item to add address information associated with the recipient'"'"'s wireless mobile data device to result in a processed data item; and

means for sending the processed data item to the wireless mobile data device over a wireless network, whereby the at least a portion of the instance is pushed to the wireless mobile data device in real-time delivery.
