System and method for processing messages being composed by a user
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mobile device comprising a microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor is configured to:
- identify a message recipient for a message, during composition of the message;
request certificate data from a certificate store, wherein the certificate data corresponds to the message recipient;
detect when the certificate data has been retrieved to the mobile device;
retrieve certificate status data, wherein the certificate status data is used to verify the status of a certificate upon detecting that the certificate data has been retrieved to the mobile device; and
receive a user direction to send the message;
wherein the processor is configured to initiate requesting the certificate data, detecting when the certificate data has been retrieved to the mobile device and retrieving the certificate status data before the user direction is received.

Abstract
A system and method for processing messages being composed by a user of a computing device (e.g. a mobile device). Embodiments are described in which the performance of certain tasks is initiated before a direction is received from a user to send a message being composed by the user. This may involve, for example, “pre-fetching” security-related data that will be required in order to send a message that is in the process of being composed by the user securely. Such data may include security policy data, certificate data, and/or certificate status data, for example.

8. A mobile device comprising a microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor is configured to:
-
identify a message recipient for a message, during composition of the message; request certificate data from a certificate store, wherein the certificate data corresponds to the message recipient;
detect when the certificate data has been retrieved to the mobile device;determine that updated certificate status data is to be retrieved upon detecting after the certificate data has been retrieved to the mobile device; retrieve certificate status data upon determining that updated certificate status data is to be retrieved; and receive a user direction to send the message;
wherein the processor is configured to initiate requesting the certificate data;detecting when the certificate data has been retrieved to the mobile device and retrieving the certificate status data before the user direction is received. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
