METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
First Claim
1. A method of conducting communications using a mobile device, the method comprising:
- configuring a mobile device having a mobile operating system to communicate with a computer;
operating the mobile device so that the mobile device enters into communication with at least one of a cellular-based network and a non-cellular-based network;
receiving communication signals at the mobile device, arriving from the at least one of a cellular-based network and a non-cellular-based network;
monitoring the received communication signals for updated data from a content provider website during a period when the computer is in a reduced function mode; and
sending a wake-up command for receipt by the computer when the updated data is detected.

11. A method of maintaining communication between a content provider website and a computer by way of an intermediate mobile device, the method comprising:
-
obtaining first information from the content provider website, via a cellular-based communications network, at the mobile device; processing the first information at the mobile device so as to provide processed first information, wherein the processed first information is indicative of a difference between the first information and earlier information previously received from the website; determining whether the processed first information is of a high importance level; and transmitting the processed first information from the mobile device for receipt by the computer upon determining that the at least some of the processed first information is of the high importance level. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A mobile device comprising:
-
a wireless transceiver capable of conducting communications with a cellular-based network; at least one memory device; at least one processing device coupled at least indirectly to the wireless transceiver and to the at least one memory device; and means for conducting communications between the mobile device and a computer device, the means for conducting communications also being coupled at least indirectly to the at least one processing device, wherein the mobile device further includes a mobile operating system and a plurality of applications resident thereon, and wherein the mobile device, upon receiving information from the cellular-based network originating from at least one content provider website, determines whether the information is high-importance information and, if so, sends the information for receipt by the computer device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
