Problems solved by technology

When developing applications for multi-mode devices, application developers may wish to consider two issues that they would not consider when developing applications for single-mode devices: (i) application behavior may need to remain constant regardless of the radio mode of operation, and (ii) the possibility to customize application behavior based on the current mode of operation
It is suggested that the first problem can be solved by the lower level interface, so the problem is transparent to the application layer

Embodiment Construction

[0028] For convenience, in the drawings, like reference numerals in the specification refer to like structures. refer to figure 1 , the communication infrastructure is generally indicated by reference numeral 100 . The communication infrastructure 100 includes a mobile wireless communication device 102 (or simply mobile device 102), a plurality of wireless communication networks 101 and 103, a wireless device network infrastructure 104, an application gateway 106, an application development environment 107, and a plurality of backend servers 108 . For simplicity, the drawings and description refer to a single mobile wireless communication device 102, while those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that in reality there are typically multiple such devices in the infrastructure 100.

[0029] Particular mobile devices 102 may include various computing devices such as desktop computers, notebook or other portable computers, smart phones, personal digital assistants (PDA...

Abstract

Multi-mode communication devices capable of wLAN and WAN wireless network communication modes and / or wired modes can be configured to communicate for backend services (e.g. Web Services, database, events) via a network gateway to operate in response to available modes. For example, for some activities (e.g. notification messages), the devices may be configured to communication in any available mode (WAN or wLAN) while for other activities (e.g. high bandwidth communications), the devices may be restricted to one mode only (e.g. wLAN). Component applications for execution by the devices can specify message delivery properties to indicate the mode(s) to may used for a particular message. Runtime mode information may be provided and maintained automatically by a communications subsystem interface for determining mode availability. A programming tool and gateway are also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to devices capable of communicating in various modes of wireless and / or wired communication and applications thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to the rapid expansion of wireless networks, the number of wireless devices in use today continues to increase. These devices include mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) with wireless communication capabilities, two-way pagers, and the like. As wireless devices proliferated, so did the usefulness of the software applications running on those devices. For example, a wireless device might include an app that retrieves weather reports for a desired list of cities or that allows a user to shop for groceries. [0003] Often, in addition to providing voice communications, these software applications take advantage of the ability to communicate data over wireless networks to provide timely and useful services to users. However, developing software applic...
