METHOD, SOFTWARE AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING ACTIONS ON A WIRELESS DEVICE USING ACTION LISTS AND VERSIONING
First Claim
1. A method for updating a dataset resident on a wireless device, comprising:
- comparing a version of the dataset listed in a summary file of the wireless device to a version of the dataset listed in a summary file of a server;
determining whether or not the version of the dataset listed in the summary file of the server is more recent than the version of the dataset listed in the summary file of the wireless device; and
downloading the dataset when the version of the dataset listed in the summary file of the server is more recent than the version of the dataset listed in the summary file of the wireless device.

Abstract
A system and method for performing actions on a wireless device using action lists and versioning. The system includes receiving, over a network, a remote action list version number, the remote action list version number associated with a remote action list containing an instruction for the wireless device. The system further includes determining whether the remote action list version number is different from a local action list version number. The system also includes sending, over a network, a request for the remote action list in response to determining the remote action list version number is different from the local action list version number. Also, the system includes receiving, over a network, the remote action list.
