Abstract

A wireless communications system (30) may include a plurality of mobile wireless communications devices (31a,..., 31n) each having a subscriber account associated therewith including a respective personal identification number (PIN) and a device identification (ID). Each device ID may have associated therewith a device capability set from among a plurality of device capability sets. The system (30) may further include at least one electronic mail (email) server (33) including a database of subscriber accounts (35) and for sending emails to and receiving emails from the mobile wireless communications devices based upon the PINs and device IDs. The at least one email server (33) may compare a given PIN and device ID, based upon a communication from a given mobile wireless device, with a corresponding PIN
and device ID for the corresponding subscriber account in the database (35), and update a corresponding device capability set for the corresponding subscriber account based upon a discrepancy.

Claims

THAT WHICH IS CLAIMED IS:

1. A wireless communications system (80) comprising a plurality of mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31n) each having a subscriber account associated therewith including a respective personal identification number (PIN) and a device identification (10), each device ID having associated therewith a device capability set from among a plurality of device capability sets and at least one electronic mail (email) server (33) comprising a database (36) of the subscriber accounts and for sending emails to and receiving emails from said mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31n) via wireless communications links based upon the PINs and device IDs, characterized in that;
said at least one email server (33) is arranged to compare a given PIN and device ID, based upon a communication from a given mobile wireless communications device, with a corresponding PIN and device ID for the corresponding subscriber account in said database (35), and is arranged to update a corresponding device capability set for the corresponding subscriber account based upon a discrepancy.

2. The wireless communications system (30) of Claim 1 wherein the device capability sets comprise at least one of an image display capability, a file attachment handling capability, and a communications interface capability.

3. The wireless communications system (30) of Claim 1 wherein the discrepancy comprises a difference between the device ID associated with the communication from said given mobile wireless device and the device ID in the corresponding subscriber account.

4. The wireless communications system (30) of Claim 1 wherein said at least one email server (33) is arranged to prompt said given mobile wireless communications device to provide the communication.

5. The wireless communications system (30) of Claim 1 wherein the device IDs comprise International Mobile Station Equipment Identities (IMEIs).

6. The wireless communications system (30) of Claim 1 wherein said at least one email server (33) interfaces with said given wireless communications device via a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) interface.

7. The wireless communications system (30) of Claim 1 wherein said at least one email server (33) interfaces with said given wireless communications device via a Wireless Markup Language (WML) interface.

8, The wireless communications system (30) of Claim 1 further comprising at least one wireless communications network (32) for establishing wireless communications links with said mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31n); and wherein said at least one email server (33) sends emails to and receives emails from said mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31n) via said at least one wireless communications network (32).

9. An email server (33) for sending emails to and receiving emails from a plurality of mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31n), each having a subscriber account associated therewith including a respective personal identification number (PIN) and a device identification (ID), based upon the PINs and device IDs, each device ID having associated therewith a device capability set from among a plurality of device capability sets, the email server (33) comprising a database (35) of the subscriber accounts, characterized in that the email server further comprises;
a controller (34) arranged to cooperate with said database (35) for comparing a given PIN and device 1D, based upon a communication from a given mobile wireless communications device, with a corresponding PIN and device ID
for the corresponding subscriber account in said database (35), and is arranged to update a corresponding device capability set for the corresponding subscriber account based upon a discrepancy.

1O.The email server (33) of Claim 9 wherein the device capability sets comprise at least one of an image display capability, a file attachment handling capability, and a communications interface capability.

11. The email server (33) of Claim 9 wherein the discrepancy comprises a difference between the device ID associated with the communication from the given mobile wireless device and the device ID in, the corresponding subscriber account.

12. The email server (33) of Claim 9 wherein said controller (34) is arranged to prompt the given mobile wireless communications device to provide the communication.

13. The email server (33) of Claim 9 wherein the device IDs comprise International Mobile Station Equipment Identities (IMEIs).

14. The email server (33) of Claim 9 wherein said controller (34) interfaces with the given wireless communications device via a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) interface.

15. The email server (33) of Claim 9 wherein said controller (34) interfaces with the given wireless communications device via a Wireless Markup Language (WML) interface.

16. A wireless communications method comprising establishing respective subscriber accounts for a plurality of mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31 n), each subscriber account including a respective personal identification number (PIN) and a device identification (ID), and each device ID

having associated therewith a device capability set from among a plurality of device capability sets, and sending emails to and receiving emails from the mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31n) via wireless communications links based upon the PINs and device IDs, characterized in that the method further comprises;
comparing a given PIN and device ID, based upon communication from a given mobile wireless communications device, with a corresponding PIN
and device ID for the corresponding subscriber account, and updating a corresponding device capability set for the corresponding subscriber account based upon a discrepancy.

17. The method of Claim 16 wherein the device capability sets comprise at least one of an image display capability, a file attachment handling capability, and a communications interface capability.

18. The method of Claim 16 wherein the discrepancy comprises a difference between the device ID associated with the communication from the given mobile wireless device and the device ID in the corresponding subscriber account.

19. The method of Claim 16 wherein the device IDs comprise International Mobile Station Equipment identities (IMEIs).

20.The method of Claim 16 further comprising establishing wireless communications links with the mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31n); and wherein sending emails to and receiving emails from the mobile wireless communications devices (37a-31n) comprises sending emails to and receiving emails from the mobile wireless communications devices (31a-31n) via the wireless communications links.
