SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UPDATING DATASET VERSIONS RESIDENT ON WIRELESS DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently update applications and data on a wireless device.SOLUTION: A wireless device has a resident dataset version summary file that identifies the version of each resident dataset. Upon the wireless device attempting (80) to communicate with a download server, the wireless device compares the version of each specific resident dataset listed in the resident dataset version summary file with the version of downloadable datasets resident on the download server to thereby determine (90) if the version of a wireless device resident dataset is different from the version of a download set resident dataset. If the download server resident dataset is more recent, the wireless device downloads (92) it to overwrite the wireless device resident dataset.
