Registering a mobile application with a server
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method performed by a mobile device application, comprising:
- sending a test request from the mobile device application operating on a mobile device to a server configured to provide data to the mobile device application, the sending including sending a request that includes information in a property list provided by a user associated with the mobile device application;
receiving, at the mobile device application, a response to the test request from the server;
analyzing, at the mobile device application, the response to the test request to identify a pattern in the response indicative of a communication sent via a particular communication path, the pattern indicating that the test request passed through a first node between the mobile device and the server;
identifying, at the mobile device application, an available communication path between the mobile device application and the server corresponding to the pattern;
generating the identified communication path by creating a first communications path between the mobile device and the server, the first communications path including the first node; and
registering the mobile device application with the server via the first communication path.

Abstract
In an example embodiment, a test request is sent to a server configured to provide data to the mobile device application. Then a response to the test request is received from the server. The response is analyzed to identify a pattern in the response indicative of a communication sent via a particular communication path. An available communication path between the mobile device application and the server corresponding to the pattern is identified. Then, a mobile device application is registered with the server via the identified communication path.

10. A logon manager operating on a mobile device and comprising:
-
a test request module executable by a processor and configured to send a test request to a server configured to provide data to a mobile device application the sending including sending a request that includes information in a property list provided by a user associated with the mobile device application; a server response module configured to receive a response to the test request from the server; a path identification module configured to analyze the response to the test request to identify a pattern in the response indicative of a communication sent via a particular communication path, the pattern indicating that the test request passed through a first node between the mobile device and the server, and identify an available communication path between the mobile device application and the server corresponding to the pattern; and a registration module configured to generate the identified communication path by creating a first communications path between the mobile device and the server, the first communications path including the first node and to register the mobile device application with the server via the first communication path. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
