20090249069 | CREDENTIAL GENERATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES AND DEVICE MANAGEMENT SERVERS - Systems and methods are described for establishing credentials at a device and at a device management server for the purpose of exchanging secure credentials in order to mutually authenticate the device and the server. A credential generation algorithm is described which uses a plurality of seeds, including the hardware identity of the device, the server identity, and a shared private key, to generate two sets of credentials, one to be used by the device and the other to be used by the device management server. The credentials are exchanged between the device and the server during any session, thereby assuring mutual authentication. | 10-01-2009 |
20090286543 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PROVIDE DYNAMIC BEARER SELECTION FOR DATA TRANSFERS IN MULTI-BEARER WIRELESS DATA TERMINALS - A technique to automatically select a bearer from among a plurality of bearers available on a wireless device bases the selection of the bearer on which a data transfer takes place on a cost function that is used both by the server and the wireless device. A method for communicating data with a mobile device capable of communicating using a plurality of communication bearers comprises selecting a communication bearer to opportunistically initiate a data transfer between a server and the mobile device using a cost function and a policy table to select the communication bearer, from among the plurality of communication bearers, and when the selected communication bearer is or becomes available, initiating the transfer between the server and the mobile device using the selected communication bearer. | 11-19-2009 |
20090287582 | DEPLOYING SOFTWARE ITEMS FROM SOFTWARE SHOPPING CARTS ONTO MOBILE WIRELESS DEVICES - Software/content for a mobile device may be selected by means of the web using a device other than the mobile device, and the software/content is downloaded onto the mobile device. This provides the capability to interact with an e-commerce site using some other terminal, such as desktop or laptop computer, and to install the software/content over the air to a given mobile device. This provides improved convenience in the selection and purchase of software/content, as desktop and laptop computer systems typically have which have larger screens and higher speed connectivity than smaller mobile devices. | 11-19-2009 |
20090325547 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING CALL-THROUGH EVENTS FOR ADVERTISING IMPRESSIONS SENT TO MOBILE WIRELESS DEVICES - An arrangement is described for capturing and reporting call-through events in connection with phone numbers embedded in advertising impressions sent to mobile wireless devices. A call-through event is said to occur when a phone number embedded within an advertising impression is called from the mobile device. The system includes a call-through detector on the device that captures data related to a call-through event and communicates the captured data for one or more phone numbers over the network to a server. The server collects the captured data from various mobile devices and can correlate those with the advertisements sent to the mobile devices. A call detail information record sent from a device may contain detailed information about the context in which the call was made from the mobile device, including, for example, time of day or device location. | 12-31-2009 |
20100069040 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY ALTERING DEVICE FUNCTIONALITY - A system and method for automatically altering device functionality based on the occurrence of certain predetermined conditions. A link may be established between a device and a trusted server to provide an association between various conditions that may be detected at the device and actions that are to be taken on the device. In particular, software traps can be set up and linked to device functionality such that execution of the trap may automatically disable or enable certain device capabilities. Some aspects of the invention are directed to a system and method for remotely setting software traps for detecting software viruses and, upon execution of the traps, several methods for establishing a quarantine on infected devices. | 03-18-2010 |
20100080128 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING LEAST-COST ROUTING OF VOICE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN HOME AND FOREIGN NETWORKS USING VOICE-OVER-IP INFRASTRUCTURE - A system and method are described for providing least-cost call routing for mobile wireless devices having access to voice-over-IP (VoIP) infrastructure, such as may be operated by an enterprise having global presence. Using a local wireless connection, such as a wireless local area network (WLAN), a software agent on the mobile wireless device registers with a common, enterprise-wide registrar, which, in turn, informs a VoIP gateway in the device's home region of the device's new location. The home region VoIP gateway will then re-route incoming calls for the device to a VoIP gateway serving the region in which the device is currently located. The local VoIP gateway will then route the call to the device via the WLAN. Seamless routing occurs even when the wireless device obtains a local phone number in a foreign network. Outgoing calls from the device can be routed via the VoIP infrastructure or the foreign network based on availability of service and/or cost. | 04-01-2010 |
20100190481 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RETRIEVING THE DYNAMIC STATE OF A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A system and method for retrieving the dynamic state of mobile communication devices is disclosed. The key state indicators from mobile communication devices are retrieved to target user requested contents or advertising contents for users of the communication devices. The method for delivering the contents to mobile communication devices includes determining key state indicators (KSI) of mobile communication devices sending the determined values to a server, and orienting the values to send the content to users of said mobile communication devices, on request. The key state indicators of mobile communication devices comprises of device state, link state, network state, behavior state and dynamic state of the device. The values of key state indicators are calculated and stored in said mobile communication device in a Mobile Advertising Record (MAR) format. | 07-29-2010 |

20120226740 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PROVIDE REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT FOR MOBILE VIRTUALIZED PLATFORMS - A virtualization aware device management (VADM) server manages mobile devices, including mobile devices that have been virtualized. Each virtualized mobile device supports multiple virtual devices. Each virtual device can be managed independently by the VADM server, in similar manner to non-virtualized devices. The VADM server interacts with one or more device management clients (DMCs) running on a virtualized mobile device to manage the virtual devices installed thereon. In a mobile virtualized device, a DMC can run exclusively within the virtual machine monitor (VMM) for remote management of some or all of the virtual devices on the mobile virtualized device; within each virtual device for remote management of the respective virtual device; or a combination thereof, with a DMC in the VMM acting as a bridge for DMCs within the virtual devices. | 09-06-2012 |
