Remotely creating mobile device contact lists
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a server, user input indicating a plurality of instant messaging contacts;
identifying, by the server, profile information associated with each instant messaging contact in the plurality of instant messaging contacts;
generating, by the server, an executable address loading program that, when executed causes a client device to generate an instant messaging contact list, add the profile information associated with each instant messaging contact in the plurality of instant messaging contacts to the generated instant messaging contact list, and store the generated instant messaging contact list; and
sending, by the server, the executable address loading program to a mobile device, the executable address loading program, when executed by the mobile device, being operable to cause the mobile device to generate the instant messaging contact list, add the profile information associated with each instant messaging contact in the plurality of instant messaging contacts to the generated instant messaging contact list, and store the generated instant messaging contact list in memory on the mobile device.

Abstract
A method, system and computer program product for instant message communication in a wireless and non-wireless environment. A message is sent from a mobile unit device over a wireless communication network. The message includes a destination address, information associated with the mobile unit device'"'"'s user, message content and message address. If, according to information previously stored for the mobile unit device'"'"'s user at the instant message system, the destination address is associated with an instant message function, the associated instant message function is executed at the instant message system using the information contained in the message content, if required as determined by the associated instant message function. If, according to information previously stored for the mobile unit device'"'"'s user at the instant message system, the destination address is associated with an instant message name, an instant message is created according to the message content and is sent to the user with the associated instant message name. For instant messages sent or received by a mobile unit device with known buddies, the instant message is optimized by tagging the instant message with a routing phone number that is unique to the mobile unit device and buddy combination, whose identity is stored both in the mobile unit device address book and in the instant message routing server.
