| 20090210702 | SECURE APPLICATION SIGNING - A system and method for facilitating approval of an application and for making the application available for download by mobile computing devices has a first module configured to receive a user input received from a software development environment, a second module configured to initiate an application approval process based on the user input, and a third module configured to make the application available for download by mobile computing devices based on the approval process. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20090307284 | DATA BACKUP FOR A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE - A system and method of backing up a data file from a mobile computing device is disclosed. The method can include receiving a data file from the mobile computing device at a server computer and storing the data file on a storage device. The method can include receiving data indicative of changes made to the data file on the mobile computing device. The method can further include changing the data file stored on the storage device based on the data indicative of changes made to the data file on the mobile computing device. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090307333 | RESTORING OF DATA TO MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE - A mobile computing device comprises a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a remote server, a memory; and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured in a restore operation to receive first data from the remote server, to receive a source indicator for second data from the remote server, wherein the first data and second data represent data previously stored in the memory of the mobile computing device or in a memory of another mobile computing device, and to send a request for the second data based on the source indicator using the wireless transceiver. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090313264 | DEVICE-SIDE DATA DE-DUPING - A client-side device is capable of wirelessly receiving user data for the device. The device is capable of removing duplicative user data items among data wirelessly received and data already existing on the device. The duplicative data may be “de-duped” even though duplicative data items may arise as a result of synchronization operations using different synchronization engines used to synchronize different sets of data types. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100003967 | PROCESSING MESSAGES FROM A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSIS OR SERVICE SELECTION - Selecting a service for a mobile computing device includes receiving a message from the mobile computing device via a wireless network, storing data from the message, querying the data to identify a characteristic, selecting a service from a plurality of services based on the identified characteristic, and sending the selected service to the mobile computing device | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100122324 | OVER THE AIR SERVICES FOR MOBILE DEVICES - A client device may be managed in the event of, for example, device loss or mislocation. In such a case, a user can effectively cause a restriction command to be generated, where the restriction command is wirelessly transmitted to the client device. The restriction command can be specified to either lock user data on the client device or erase user data on the client device. | 05-13-2010 |
| 20100145861 | PAYMENT TRANSACTION PROCESSING FOR MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICES - A server computer system comprises a memory and a processing circuit. The memory is configured to store supplier identifiers for a plurality of product suppliers. The processing circuit is configured to receive a request to make a payment from a mobile computing device via a wireless communication, to select a supplier identifier from the memory based on the request, to generate a message comprising the supplier identifier, transaction amount, and a user identifier identifying a user of the mobile computing device, and to transmit the transaction message to a server associated with an entity which processes a transaction based on the transaction message. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100287261 | CONTENT-BASED NAVIGATION AND LAUNCHING ON MOBILE DEVICES - Techniques are disclosed for a content-based navigation and launching for portable computing devices such as PDAs and smart phones. A content navigator and launcher allows a user to personalize content groupings. The techniques can run on top of any OS file system that has a mechanism to associate files with their creating applications. Personalization of the content-based navigation and launching scheme can be set-up on the user's work station, and then transmitted and synchronized with a target mobile device. A central server can be used to carry out content harvesting and/or configuring the personalization scheme. The content and/or personalization scheme can then be pushed on to the mobile device (e.g., via a GSM network or other suitable communication link). APIs can be used by application vendors to register the content types of their own choice. A preferences utility allows users to manage the content types and associations. | 11-11-2010 |
