Method And System For Coordinating Device Setting Between a Communications Client And Its Host Device
First Claim
1. A mobile device certified for operation in a wireless network, the mobile device comprising:
- a host having at least one host application configured to change device settings of the mobile device;
a data communications client comprising a virtual machine executing a number of client applications using a client operating system, the data communications client communicating with one or more of the at least one host application,a notifier configured to notify the data communications client of device settings changes on the host device in order to propagate device settings to the data communications client;
a mode setting at the data communications client, said mode setting configured to indicate whether client applications on the data communications client should use device settings from said host device; and
a client settings application in the data communications client configured 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 device.

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.
