Abstract

An information repository system comprises a wireless device configured to receive a first version of information from a server. The first version of information has a first unique identifier associated therewith. The information repository is configured to store the first version of information having the first unique identifier and is configured to store a second version of the information having the first unique identifier. The second version of information overwrites the first version of information.

Claims

receiving, at the wireless device, the first information element from the enterprise application running on a remote server, the first information element comprising a unique identifier associated therewith;

replacing, at the wireless device, within an information repository, a second information element with the first information element upon determination that the unique identifier associated with the first information element is the same as a unique identifier associated with the second information element; and

making the first information element in the information repository available to a user of the wireless device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the second information element comprises an application and the first information element comprises an updated version of the application.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the second information element comprises an application with scripting and the first information element comprises an updated version of the application with scripting.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the resending of the notification is triggered when the wireless device comes back into coverage.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the second information element comprises an application with scripting and the first information element comprises an updated version of the application with scripting.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the resending of the notification is triggered when the wireless device is turned back on.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the resending of the notification is triggered when a new message arrives at the push server associated with the enterprise application.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the push server comprises a push management module in communication with the enterprise application.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first information element is a document.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first information element is an alert.

11. The method of claim 10, wherein receiving of the alert causes a notification to be displayed on a screen of the wireless device.

12. The method of claim 1, wherein the first information element is a page.

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the first information element is a request.

14. The method of claim 1, wherein the first information element is a response.

15. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing, at the wireless device, within the information repository, a third information element created on the wireless device by the user of the wireless device, the third information element being associated with the enterprise application and comprising a unique identifier associated therewith; and

transmitting, from the wireless device to the server, the third information element.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein:

the first information element comprises a request associated with the enterprise application,

the third information element comprises a user response to the request associated with the enterprise application, and

the second information element comprises a response associated with the enterprise application to the user response.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein one or more of the unique identifier associated with the first information element, the unique identifier associated with the second information element, or the unique identifier associated with the third information element is a global unique identifier.

18. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor in a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method of managing data on a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving, at the wireless device, a notification pushed to the wireless device from a push server associated with an enterprise application, wherein the notification is associated with a first information element and is configured to notify a user of the wireless device of availability of the first information element from the enterprise application running on a remote server;

receiving, at the wireless device, a resending of the notification from the push server associated with the enterprise application, wherein the resending of the notification is in response to a determination of not receiving a request for the first information element from the wireless device;

sending, at the wireless device, a request for the first information element from the wireless device to the push server associated with the enterprise application in response to receiving the resending of the notification;

receiving, at the wireless device, the first information element from the enterprise application running on a remote server, the first information element comprising a unique identifier associated therewith;

replacing, at the wireless device, within an information repository, a second information element with the first information element upon determination that the unique identifier associated with the first information element is the same as a unique identifier associated with the second information element; and

making the first information element in the information repository available to a user of the wireless device.

19. A method for managing applications on a wireless device, the method comprising:

receiving, at the wireless device, a notification pushed to the wireless device from a push server associated with an enterprise application, wherein the notification is associated with an information element and is configured to notify a user of the wireless device of availability of the information element from the enterprise application running on a remote server;

receiving, at the wireless device, a resending of the notification from the push server associated with the enterprise application, wherein the resending of the notification is in response to a determination of not receiving a request for the information element from the wireless device;

sending, at the wireless device, a request for the information element from the wireless device to the push server associated with the enterprise application in response to receiving the resending of the notification;

receiving, at the wireless device, the information element from the remote server, the information element comprising a first application and a unique identifier associated with the first application;

replacing, at the wireless device, within an information repository, a second application with the first application upon determination that the unique identifier associated with the first application is the same as a unique identifier associated with the second application; and

making the first application in the information repository available to a user of the wireless device.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the resending of the notification is triggered when the wireless device comes back into coverage.

21. The method of claim 19, wherein the resending of the notification is triggered when the wireless device is turned back on.

22. The method of claim 19, wherein the first application is an updated version of the second application.
