System and method for managing data to be pushed to a wireless device when the device may be outside of a coverage range
First Claim
1. A push proxy server for pushing data to a wireless device having a coverage state of online or offline, the push proxy server comprising:
- a coverage state detector for determining the coverage state of the wireless device based on a delivery status of a push request, the coverage state determination further based on a wireless device heartbeat message to detect a device online to offline transition initiated due to a random network transport error, whenever the delivery status of the push request is indicated as undelivered;
memory for storing a coverage state indicator for indicating the coverage state of the wireless device;
a data store for storing the data to be pushed to the wireless device when the coverage state indicator indicates the wireless device is offline; and
a transceiver for transmitting the data to the wireless device when the coverage state indicator indicates the wireless device is online.

Abstract
A push proxy server for pushing data to a wireless device having a coverage state of online or offline. The push proxy server comprises a coverage state detector, memory, a data store, and a transceiver. The coverage state detector determines the coverage state of the wireless device. The memory stores a coverage state indicator for indicating the coverage state of the wireless device. The data store stores the data to be pushed to the wireless device when the coverage state indicator indicates the wireless device is offline. The transceiver transmits the data to the wireless device when the coverage state indicator indicates the wireless device is online. A method for implementing the push proxy server is also described.
