1. A method for allowing a user to respond efficiently to an alert, the method comprising:
- receiving at a communication device an alert including a pointer to a sequence of at least one operation to be performed at a first server;
responding to the alert by sending the pointer from the device to the first server;
retrieving, at the first server, based on the pointer, the sequence of at least one operation; and
executing at the first server the sequence of at least one operation on behalf of the device.

Abstract
A method for allowing a user to respond efficiently to an alert. The method includes receiving at a communication device an alert including a pointer to a sequence of at least one operation to be performed at a first server, and responding to the alert by sending the pointer to the first server. The method then includes retrieving based on the pointer the sequence of at least one operation, and executing the sequence of at least one operation on behalf of the device.

9. A method for providing an alert, wherein the alert includes a command for responding to the alert, the method comprising:
-
determining whether a condition has been satisfied;
generating an alert including a command for responding to the alert;
sending the alert to a device;
wherein the command is a request from the device to the server to execute the sequence of at least one operation; and
wherein the request includes a pointer to a sequence of at least one operation to be executed by a server on behalf of the device. - View Dependent Claims (10)

11. A method for allowing a user to respond efficiently to an alert using a communications device, the method comprising:
-
receiving from the device at a server a command including a pointer to a sequence of at least one operation;
wherein the command is part of an alert sent to the device;
executing the command by retrieving based on the pointer the sequence of at least one operation;
executing the sequence of at least one operation on behalf of the device; and
sending a result of executing the sequence to the device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19)

16. A server for generating an alert, the server comprising:
-
control logic that is to compose an alert including a command and a pointer to a sequence of at least one operation; and
a server interface that is to send the alert to a device.

20. A server that allows a user of a device to efficiently respond to an alert, the server comprising:
-
a device interface that is to receive from a device a command including a pointer to a sequence of at least one operation;
control logic that is to execute the command by retrieving the sequence and executing the sequence to produce a result for each operation in the sequence; and
wherein the control logic is to execute the sequence instead of having a device engage in an operation with the server for each operation in the sequence of at least one operation. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
