SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCESSING INFORMATION PROCESSOR SERVICES FROM A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of processing information with an information processor using a mobile communication device, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining at the mobile communication device, a unique identifier associated with the information processor;
receiving one or more messages at the mobile communication device;
querying a service information provider using the unique identifier to obtain service information, the service information including at least one service address associated with a service provided by the information processor; and
sending a communication signal that includes the one or more messages from the mobile communication device to the information processor using the at least one service address obtained from the service information provider, enabling the information processor to perform an information processing operation in response to the communication signal.

Abstract
A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is disclosed. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect user-selected data items from the host system to the user'"'"'s mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect particular user-defined events, and then to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device. The system includes information processing components for identifying one or more information processors in the vicinity of the mobile device and then routing an attachment or information from the host system, the device or an external information source to a selected information processor.
