Abstract

Methods and apparatus for sending a dynamically updated data object to a user of a communication device are disclosed. An exemplary method comprises receiving updated data from an external source at a first communication device and updating a stored data object with the updated data. Upon the occurrence of a trigger, the updated data object, which comprises the updated information, is transferred to a second communication device.

Claims (33)

1. A method for sending a data object to a user of a mobile communication device, comprising the steps of:

receiving updated data from an external source at a first communication device;

updating a stored data object associated with the first communication device using the updated data; and

transferring, upon the occurrence of a trigger, the updated data object to a second mobile communication device, wherein the updated data object comprises the updated data;

wherein the trigger comprises confirmation by a user of the first mobile communication device that the data object is to be shared.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the external source comprises a server.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising presenting the updated data object to the user of the of the second communication device.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein updating the stored data object comprises updating a data object stored on the first communication device.

5. A method for sending a data object to a user of a mobile communication device, comprising the steps of:

receiving updated data from an external source at a first mobile communication device;

updating a stored data object associated with the first mobile communication device using the updated data; and

transferring, upon the occurrence of a trigger, the updated object to a second mobile communication device, wherein the updated data object comprises the updated data;

wherein updating the stored data object comprises sending a request to a data object server to update the stored data object.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein transferring the updated data object to the second communication device comprises sending a request to a data object server to send the updated data object to the second communication device.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

storing the updated data object in addition to the data object; and

selecting, in response to one or more user commands, the updated data object or the data object for display.

8. A first mobile communication device comprising processing logic configured to:

receive updated data from an external source at the first mobile communication device;

update a stored object associated with the first mobile communication device using the updated data; and

transfer, upon the occurrence of a trigger, the updated object to a second mobile communication device, wherein the updated data object comprises the updated data;

wherein the trigger comprises confirmation by a user of the first communication device that the data object is to be shared.

9. The first communication device of claim 8 , wherein the processing logic is further configured to present the first data object to the user of the second communication device.

10. The first communication device of claim 8 , wherein the processing logic is configured to update a data object stored on the first communication device.

11. A first mobile communication device comprising processing logic configured to;

receive updated data from an external source at the first mobile communication device;

update a stored data object associated with the first mobile communication device using the updated data; and

transfer, upon the occurrence of a trigger, the updated data object to a second mobile communication device, wherein the updated data object comprises the updated data;

wherein the processing logic is configured to update the stored data object by sending a request to a data object server to update the stored data object.

12. The first communication device of claim 11 , wherein the processing logic is configured to transfer the updated data object to the second mobile communication device by sending a request to a data object server to send the updated data object to the second communication device.

13. The first communication device of claim 11 , wherein the processing logic is further configured to:

store the updated data object in addition to the data object; and

select, in response to one or more user commands, the updated data object or the data object for display.
