Wireless Device Synchronization via Data Center Mediator
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current wireless data processing devices and messaging systems lack complete synchronization with corporate e-mail databases, requiring manual redirection and proprietary cradles for functionality, limiting advanced e-mail management and requiring a corporate desktop for setup.
Innovation Solution
A method for establishing direct wireless synchronization between a data processing device and a messaging service, using a data center to initiate connections and manage service components, allowing for complete data synchronization and management without the need for a corporate desktop or proprietary software.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If e-mail redirection techniques are used with redirection events, then messaging capabilities are provided on wireless devices, but complete synchronization between the wireless device and corporate e-mail database cannot be achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a corporate desktop computer as an intermediary component that establishes a direct communication link between the wireless device and the corporate e-mail database. This intermediary enables complete synchronization by serving as a bridge that allows the wireless device to access and synchronize with the full e-mail database, rather than relying on conditional redirection events. The desktop computer runs software that maintains the synchronization connection, ensuring reliability while preserving messaging versatility.
2Productivity
If manual redirection commands or automated redirection events are used, then e-mail messages can be forwarded to wireless devices, but advanced e-mail management functions cannot be controlled at the wireless device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the e-mail system into distinct functional components: the wireless device handles messaging operations (sending, receiving, viewing), while the corporate desktop computer handles advanced management functions (configuring filters, signatures, security settings). This segmentation allows each device to operate independently in its optimized domain, with the desktop providing comprehensive e-mail management control and the wireless device providing mobile messaging access, thereby resolving the contradiction between forwarding capability and management control.
3Reliability
If proprietary cradles and desktop software are required for wireless device functionality, then complete synchronization can be achieved, but device complexity and setup requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs universal communication protocols and standards that allow the corporate desktop computer to perform multiple functions: it serves as a communication bridge for synchronization, a configuration terminal for setting up e-mail parameters, and a backup access point. By making the desktop computer multi-functional, the system reduces the need for specialized proprietary cradles and simplifies the overall setup, while maintaining complete synchronization capability through the desktop's versatile role in the architecture.
