摘要:
To determine the operational status of a wireless communication device capable of executing server-side applications, a message is sent to the device requesting operational status of the device. The message may be may be triggered by a system administrator at a middleware server. The wireless communication device may receive the message, compose a response message indicative of the operational status of the device, and send the response message back to the middleware server. The messages may be extensible markup language (XML) messages. Composition of the response message may entail verifying that a textual operational status description forming part of the response message omits illegal XML characters, e.g., by passing the description through an XML formatter for removal of any illegal XML characters.

摘要:
To facilitate wireless communication device awareness of the availability of new or updated server-side applications, in response to either of a new application being made available at a server or an updated version of an application being made available at a server, a message is transmitted over a wireless connection to a set of wireless communications devices indicating that the new or updated application is available. The notification may be displayed on each of the mobile devices in the set. A device user may choose to register for the new or updated application on the basis of the notification. Notification may be performed when an application has been added to a group of applications to which access is provided as a whole. Notification at a particular wireless communications device may be conditional upon a grant of access by the device to said group of applications.
摘要:
A remote wireless device receives a compressed message including an application definition file. The application definition file is associated with an application executing at a computing device and contains definitions for: a user interface format; a format for network messages; and a format for storing data. Using these definitions, the wireless device may receive data generated by the application and formatted in accordance with the definitions. The wireless device may then present a user interface for the application. Preferably, the application definition file is an XML file. Similarly, application-specific network messages provided to the device are also formed using XML. Data generated by the application may be presented at the mobile device under control of a virtual machine that uses the application definition file. For efficiency, the network messages received at, and transmitted by, the wireless device may be compressed.

摘要:
Responsive to the sensing of an occurrence of an event, an action may be executed according to which a message is generated. The message may be generated with a format that is based on an application definition document. According to the application definition document, a label may be generated for associating with the message. The message and label may then be stored in a queue in a manner that allows the label to be associated with the message. Subsequent to the message having been stored, a representation of the queue may be displayed for review by a user interested in the status of the message, or the queue in general. The label associated with the message is displayed in the representation rather than the actual code of the message, thereby allowing the viewer of the display to make an informed decision regarding further activity to carried out on the message.
摘要:
A markup language document (e.g. an XML document) may contain a first instance of a markup language element having an attribute with a first, platform-independent value, a second instance of the element having the attribute with a second, platform-specific value, and an indicator that the second value overrides the first. Executable code may replace both of the first and second instances with a single instance having the attribute with the second value. Alternatively the markup language document may contain a first instance of a markup language element having a first, platform-independent attribute, a second instance of the element having a second, platform-specific attribute different from the first attribute, and an indicator that the second instance extends the first. In this case executable code may replace both instances of the markup language element with a single instance having the first attribute and the second attribute.
摘要:
An outgoing message may be generated, at a mobile communication device, based on a received application definition document, which indicates a lifespan for the message. In conjunction with generating a message in accordance with a format provided in the application definition document, a message expiry time may be generated. The message may be stored in a queue for transmission. Additionally, an indication of the expiry time may be stored in the queue in association with the message. The expiry time of the message may periodically be compared to the current time to determine whether the message has expired. Upon expiry, a user of the mobile communication device may be presented with the option to cancel transmission of the message or re-attempt transmission.
