System and method for providing remote data access for a mobile communication device
First Claim
1. A system for providing information content received from an information source over a network via a gateway to a wireless mobile device, comprising:
- a processor-implemented transcoding system configured within a private network and behind a security firewall, the transcoding system having a plurality of transcoders on storage media, each transcoder operable to transcode information content; and
a processor-implemented connection handler system also configured within the private network and behind the security firewall, the connection handler system having a plurality of connection handlers, each of said connection handlers being specific for a different communication protocol, the connection handler system being operable to receive a connection request from the wireless mobile device via a network server that is also within the private network and behind the security firewall and that decrypts communications from the wireless mobile device, the connection handler system further being operable to select a corresponding connection handler based on the connection request, the selected connection handler being operable to retrieve information content from the information source and to determine if the retrieved information content requires transcoding, the selected connection handler further being operable to select one or more transcoders from the plurality of transcoders to transcode the retrieved information content if transcoding is needed and to send transcoded information content to the network server for encryption and transmission to the wireless mobile device.

Abstract
In one exemplary embodiment, a system for providing data access between an information source and a mobile communication device includes a transcoding system and a first network device. The transcoding system includes a plurality of transcoders, and each transcoder is operable to transcode information content from a respective first content type into a respective second content type. The first network device is in communication with the transcoding system and includes a connection handler system. The connection handler system is operable to receive connection data for a connection between the information source and the mobile communication device and to select a corresponding connection handler. The connection handler is operable to select one or more transcoders from the plurality of transcoders to transcode the information content.

11. A method for providing information content received from an information source over a network via a gateway to a wireless mobile device, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving in a private network behind a security firewall a connection request from a wireless mobile device, wherein the connection request is decrypted by a network server in the private network behind the security firewall; selecting a particular connection handler from a plurality of connection handlers to establish a connection with the wireless mobile device and to retrieve information content from an information source, each of said connection handlers being specific for a different communication protocol; determining using the selected connection handler that the retrieved information content requires transcoding and selecting using the selected connection handler one or more transcoders from a plurality of transcoders to transcode the received information content; and sending via the connection handler system the transcoded information content to the network server for encrypting and forwarding to the wireless mobile device via the gateway. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
