Mobile communication device notifier
View Patent ↗The present invention provides for a system and method for communication between a mobile communication device and an auxiliary processing interface. Remote interfacing with an auxiliary processor enables the provision of services available to a mobile communication device through a more user friendly interface, for example, a larger display for visual ease, a full keyboard for quick and easy typing, or mouse for quick maneuvering. Furthermore, such a service affords the opportunity to remotely use the technology and services available on a mobile communication device remotely, for example in the event that it is misplaced, when traveling or at work.
1. A system, comprising:
a server including a processor for remotely accessing data of a mobile communication device, where the data is transmitted from the mobile communication device to the server during a synchronization; and
a client for accessing the data of the mobile communication device, where the data is transmitted from the server to the client during the synchronization;
wherein the synchronization occurs upon receipt of one or more of a short message service (SMS) message, a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message, and an email by the mobile communication device.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the client includes an auxiliary processing interface.
3. The system of claim 2 wherein the auxiliary processing interface includes a PC (personal computer), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a laptop computer, or a desktop computer.
4. The system of claim 2 wherein communication to the auxiliary processing interface is mediated by an internet connection.
5. The system of claim 2 wherein communication to the auxiliary processing interface is mediated by a synchronization client and a synchronization agent associated with the auxiliary processing interface.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is operable such that a notifying popup display is presented at the client in response to the server transmitting the data of the mobile communication device to the client, where the notifying popup display indicates to a user that the data has been received.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the notifying popup display includes a link for redirecting the user to a content interface where the received data is accessed.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the content interface includes a web browser.
9. A method, comprising:
rendering a mobile communication device accessible; and
providing remote access to data of the mobile communication device;
wherein providing the remote access comprises synchronizing data between the mobile communication device and a client, utilizing a server;
wherein the synchronization occurs upon receipt of one or more of a short message service (SMS) message, a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message, and an email by the mobile communication device.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the rendering the mobile communication device accessible comprises activating the mobile communication device.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the synchronization is implemented using SyncML (Synchronization Markup Language), ActiveSync or another proprietary synchronization protocol.
12. The method of claim 9 wherein the access to the data requires user authentication and identification.
13. A method, comprising:
rendering a mobile communication device accessible;
detecting a change to the mobile communication device, utilizing a server; and
notifying a client of the change by synchronizing data between the client and the mobile communication device, utilizing the server;
wherein the synchronization occurs upon receipt of one or more of a short message service (SMS) message, a multimedia messaging service (MMS) message, and an email by the mobile communication device.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the notification of the change is performed immediately after the detecting.
