Abstract

A user, after accessing (41) the communication system (10), selects (42) a paged email service option. In response, the communication system (10) dispatches (43) a service logic block to a service node proxy (110) of an email system (101-105). The service logic block is deposited (44) in a site-specific service logic block repository (112) of the email system (101-105). An email monitor is established (45) for the email system (101-105). Once established, the email system sends (46) an acknowledgment to the communication system (10). The user is then notified (47) of receipt of the acknowledgment.

Claims

1. For use in providing services to a user of a wireless communication system, a method of establishing an email monitor external to the wireless communication system comprising:

accessing the wireless communication system;

selecting an email service option;

dispatching a service logic block from the wireless communication system to an email system external to the wireless communication system;

depositing said service logic block in a site-specific service logic block repository of said email system, said service logic block monitoring for predetermined parameters;

establishing said email monitor for said email system; and

sending an acknowledgement of the establishment of said email monitor to said communication system; and

notifying a user of receipt of the acknowledgment;

in response to said service logic block detecting said predetermined parameters, said email monitor notifying the wireless communication system when an email message arrives at said email system.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein said wireless communication system is one of an analog cellular communication system, a time division multiple access cellular communication system, a code division multiple access cellular communication system, and a wireless data communication system.
