System and method for remotely controlling mobile communication devices
First Claim
1. A system for redirecting data items from a host system to a mobile data communication device and remotely controlling the operation of the mobile data communication device, comprising a redirection system that detects a triggering event at the host system and in response to the triggering event continuously redirects data items from the host system to a wireless network;
- a mobile data communication device that receives data items from the wireless network and that executes a plurality of device operations; and
a remote control system that receives control information from a user interface and that transmits the control information through the redirection system to the wireless network, wherein the control information is received and executed by the mobile data communication device to remotely control one or more of the device operations.

Abstract
A system for remotely controlling mobile communication devices includes a redirection system, a remote control system and a mobile data communication device. The redirection system detects a triggering event at a host system and in response to the triggering event continuously redirects data items from the host system to a wireless network. The mobile data communication device receives data items from the wireless network and executes a plurality of device operations. The remote control system receives control information from a user interface and transmits the control information through the redirection system to the wireless network. The control information is received and executed by the mobile data communication device to remotely control one or more of the device operations. Methods of controlling the operation of mobile data communication devices are also disclosed.

17. A method for controlling the operation of a mobile data communication device in a communication system, wherein the communication system includes a redirection system that detects a triggering event at the host system and in response to the triggering event continuously redirects data items from the host system over a wireless network to the mobile data communication device, comprising the steps of:
-
configuring the mobile communication device to perform a plurality of operations;
receiving an administrative command that identifies at least one operation of the mobile communication device;
generating a control message corresponding to the administrative command;
transmitting the control message through the redirection system to the wireless network;
receiving the control message with the mobile data communication device; and
in response to the control message, automatically executing the administrative command on the mobile data communication device to cause the mobile data communication device to perform the identified operation.
