Abstract

In one embodiment, a system is disclosed. The system includes a wireless data processing device, a messaging service to maintain data objects on behalf of a user, and a data center, coupled to the wireless device and the messaging service. The data center establishes a plurality of routing connections between the wireless device and the messaging service. Each of the plurality of connections corresponds to a data service level authorized by the data center.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving identification (ID) information from a messaging service at a data center to initiate a wireless data service between the messaging service and a wireless device; and

the data center establishing one or more routing connections between the wireless device and the messaging service, wherein each of the one or more routing connections correspond to a data service component authorized by the data center.

2. The method of claim 1 further comprising receiving a request from the wireless device at the data center to connect with the messaging service once the wireless device is initially powered up.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the data center receives the ID information from the wireless device with the request to connect with the messaging service.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the data center compares the ID information received from the wireless device to the ID information received from the messaging service to determine if the wireless device is authorized to connect with the messaging service.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the ID information comprises serial number of the wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein each of the one or more routing connections are permanent.

7. The method of claim 6 wherein each of the one or more routing connections are private.

8. A system comprising:

a wireless data processing device;

a messaging service to maintain data objects on behalf of a user; and

a data center, coupled to the wireless device and the messaging service, to establish a plurality of routing connections between the wireless device and the messaging service, each of plurality of connections corresponding to a data service level authorized by the data center.

9. The system of claim 8 wherein the connections represent routing information that is in service at the data center.

10. The system of claim 8 wherein each of the plurality of routing connections are permanent.

11. The system of claim 10 wherein each of the one or more routing connections are private.

12. The system of claim 8 wherein a first routing connection represents an electronic mail (e-mail) service.

13. The system of claim 12 wherein a second routing connection represents a provisioning service, a third routing connection represents a calendar service and a fourth routing connection represents an address book service.

14. The system of claim 12 wherein a second routing connection represents a second e-mail service, and a third routing connection represents a third e-mail service.

15. The system of claim 14 wherein the first, second and third e-mail services each have a different address.

16. A method comprising:

receiving service adjustment data at a data center to adjust a wireless data service between a messaging service and a wireless device; and

the data center modifying routing connections between the wireless device and the messaging service, wherein the routing connections correspond to data service components authorized by the data center.

17. The method of claim 16 further comprising transmitting a message to the wireless device indicating that the wireless data service has been modified.

18. The method of claim 17 further comprising:

the data center receiving an access request from the wireless device to ascertain the data service adjustments; and

the data center transmitting service adjustment data to the wireless device indicating the service adjustment.

19. The method of claim 16 wherein the service adjustment data is received at the data center from the messaging service.

20. A system comprising:

a wireless data processing device;

a messaging service to maintain data objects on behalf of a user; and

a data center, coupled to the wireless device and the messaging service, to adapt one or more routing connections between the wireless device and the messaging service upon receiving adjustment data indicating that a wireless data service has been modified, each of the one or more connections corresponding to a data service level authorized by the data center.

21. The system of claim 20 wherein the data center transmits a message to the wireless device indicating that the wireless data service has been modified.

22. The system of claim 21 wherein the data center receives an access request from the wireless device to ascertain the data service modification and transmits service adjustment data to the wireless device indicating the service modification.

23. The method of claim 20 wherein the service modification data is received at the data center from the messaging service.
