20090054034Maintaining Mobile Terminal Information for Secure E-Mail Communications - Methods and systems for maintaining mobile terminal information for secure email communications are provided. Information concerning multiple mobile terminals are maintained. Such information may include encryption information and an identifier for each mobile terminal. A service activation code that includes encryption information and an identifier from an authenticated user of the mobile terminal is received. The encryption information may be provided to a connectivity function for use in establishing an encrypted data channel. The established encrypted data channel may then be used to convey e-mail communications to and from the mobile terminal.02-26-2009
20090063647Messaging centre for forwarding e-mail - Methods and systems for forwarding an e-mail message from an e-mail server to a mobile terminal are provided. A messaging centre may store a permanent terminal identifier of the mobile terminal and an associated temporary identifier of the mobile terminal. The messaging center, upon receiving an e-mail message, may identify the mobile terminal based on an indication of the permanent terminal identifier included in the message and the stored association information. The e-mail message may then be transmitted to the mobile terminal using the temporary identifier associated with the permanent identifier of the mobile terminal.03-05-2009
20090075683Connectivity function for forwarding e-mail - Methods and systems of connectivity for forwarding an e-mail message from an e-mail server to a mobile terminal having an e-mail address under the e-mail server are provided. An e-mail address may be associated with a permanent identifier and encryption information of the mobile terminal. After receipt of an e-mail message addressed using the e-mail address from the e-mail server, the e-mail message may be encrypted using the stored encryption information. The mobile terminal may be identified using the association between the e-mail address and the permanent identifier of the mobile terminal. The e-mail message may then be provided to a messaging centre for forwarding to the identified mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can decrypt and/or unpack the message using the encryption information.03-19-2009
20110047232NETWORK-INITIATED DATA TRANSFER IN A MOBILE NETWORK - A method for IP [=Internet Protocol] communication to/from a mobile terminal via a network element in a mobile network. The mobile terminal uses an in-band trigger for establishing an IP connection. The network element uses an out-band trigger (02-24-2011
20110051610MAINTAINING AN IP CONNECTION IN A MOBILE NETWORK - A method for IP [=Internet Protocol] communication between a mobile terminal and its correspondent node in a mobile radio network. The method comprises establishing (03-03-2011

20090149203Electronic-mail filtering for mobile devices - Systems and methods for dynamic electronic-mail filtering for mobile devices are provided. Incoming e-mail messages are received and provided to an e-mail inbox associated with the intended recipient. Those e-mail messages are evaluated to determine whether they may be desirable to the recipient. Desirability of an e-mail may be determined by such factors as the e-mail address of origin or key words in subject line. E-mail messages determined to be desirable are provided to a mobile device associated with the recipient. The recipient may then be notified concerning the desirable messages.06-11-2009
20090318171Application Discovery on Mobile Devices - Methods and systems for application discovery on mobile devices are provided. A subscriber identity module (SIM) card associated with a mobile device sends information to a network server, which determines an identifier (e.g., a phone number) associated with the SIM card. Using the identifier, the network server provides application information to the mobile device. The application information, which may include the application itself, is then used to install the application on the mobile device.12-24-2009
20090325565Provisioning applications for a mobile device - Methods and systems for provisioning an application for a mobile device are provided. A user may request an application. A request concerning the application is sent to a provisioning device. The request includes information concerning the mobile device and/or the user of the mobile device. The information is used to determine the requirements for operating the requested application on the mobile device. A hyperlink for downloading the requirements information is sent to the user of the mobile device via text messaging and/or email. The requirements information may be provided directly to the mobile device, to a personal computing device associated with the user of the mobile device, or a combination.12-31-2009
