System and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile communication device

摘要

A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is disclosed. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect certain user-selected data items from the host system to the user's mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect a particular user-defined event, and then to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device.

1. A method of replicating data items to a mobile data communication device of a user, the method comprising:
receiving an automatically generated notification at a redirector host system that is disposed in a local area network and coupled to a message server associated with the user, wherein the automatically generated notification is indicative of arrival of a data item in a mailbox of the user at the message server; and responsive to receipt of the automatically generated notification, processing the data item by the redirector host system to create a processed data item and causing to push the processed data item to the mobile data communication device of the user over a wide area data network coupled to a wireless gateway, wherein the data item is wrapped in an email that corresponds to an address of the mobile data communication device.
