Mobile device with common secure wireless message service serving multiple applications
First Claim
1. A mobile end-user-area device comprising:
- a wireless wide-area network (WWAN) modem to exchange Internet data via a connection to a first WWAN, when configured for and connected to the first WWAN;
a device messaging agent to receive secure Internet data messages, on behalf of a plurality of software applications capable of execution on the device, and over a secure connection to a network message server reachable via the WWAN, wherein at least a subset of the secure Internet data messages contain an identifier for a corresponding one of the software applications and application data from a respective network application server corresponding to that application; and
a secure interprocess communication service, wherein the device messaging agent, for each message in the subset of the secure Internet data messages, maps the identifier to the corresponding one of the software applications in order to forward the application data on the secure interprocess communication service to a software process corresponding to the identified software application.

Abstract
A mobile end-user device contains a device messaging agent that securely communicates with a network message server over a wireless network. The network message server delivers messages to the device messaging agent on behalf of a plurality of network application servers. Each network application server supplies the network message server with application data and an indication of a device and an application on the device to which the application data should be delivered. The network message server securely passes the data and an application identifier to the device messaging agent on the appropriate mobile end-user device. The device messaging agent maps the application identifier to a software process corresponding to the application, and a secure interprocess communication service delivers the application data to that software process.
