Definitions

  • the present invention relates to software-based alerting and interactive messaging involving portable computing devices.
  • the two messaging devices that have become the most popular in recent years are the pager and the wireless telephone. Both of these devices can do one thing that portable computing devices cannot do: push data without a request originating from the device. For example, a telephone receives a call and rings without involvement from the receiver of the call, and a paper receives a page without involvement from the receiver of the call.
  • Desktop computers have the ability also, with additional software, to have messages and alerts pushed over the Internet to the end user (e.g., e-mail).
  • end user e.g., e-mail
  • a problem with using the desktop as the messaging interface is that you can never assume a desktop system is on, or that a user is present to receive a message or alert. People cannot clip their desktop or laptop computer onto their belt and carry it around.
  • a messaging repository receives from a source content that is intended for a recipient.
  • the repository assigns an Internet address to the content, stores the content on a server at that address, and sends the Internet address to the recipient's portable computing device (PCD).
  • the PCD receives the Internet address via its communication device, which checks to see if the PCD is in a reduced-power mode. If so, the communication device initiates a wake-up sequence, and then launches third party application software to connect to the Internet and resolve the address. Once the address has been resolved, the recipient is alerted to the received content, with which the recipient may at that time interact. This interaction is well suited for, e.g., online; auctions, group-buying, sales force management, surveys, and voting.
  • the repository receives only the Internet address, which it then forwards to the recipient in the same manner.

  • Pager 700 includes a device with all of the normal attributes of a pager, except that the result of a page is not a beep or vibration of PCD 100, but rather an execution of the instructions stored in firmware 720.
  • Wireless modem 710 includes a device with all of the normal attributes of a modem that uses a wireless mechanism to connect to other modems.
  • FIG. 8 is a flowchart of steps illustrating the operation of a portable computer device in accordance with the embodiment of FIG. 7. To begin (step 800), PCD 100 receives an incoming page including an Internet address and content type via pager 700.
  • Firmware 720 receives the page, and determines if PCD 100 is in a reduced-power mode (step 820).
  • Firmware 720 determines the power status of PCD 100 by communicating through its API (Application Program Interface). If PCD 100 indicates that it is in reduced-power mode via the API, then firmware 720 initiates awake-up procedure, which causes PCD 100 to power- up to full operating capacity, through an operating system call (step 830). For the particular embodiment of the Handspring VISOR (TM), firmware 720 can manually assert and release the RESET* signal after the module has been inserted by setting the hsCardAttrReset attribute ofHsCardAttrSetO. This functionality is documented in the Development Kit for Handspring Handheld Computers, Release 1.0, available from HandSpring, Inc., and herein expressly incorporated by reference.

  • Application software 150 accesses the default Web server via wireless modem 710 and an auto-dialer, and resolves the Internet address received through pager 700 (step 850).
  • firmware 720 initiates an alert so that recipient 2609 becomes aware of the arrival of the pushed content (step 860).
  • This alert can be in the form of, among other things, an audible indication or a pop-up display covering only a portion of input device 120 (e.g., display screen). This terminates the process (step 870).

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système permettant de transférer tous types de contenus à un dispositif informatique portatif, sans aucune obligation d'abonnement à un service ou un programme Internet particulier. Un dépôt de messagerie reçoit d'une source donnée un contenu destiné à un destinataire. Le dépôt affecte alors une adresse Internet au contenu, stocke le contenu sur un serveur à cette adresse, puis envoie l'adresse Internet au dispositif informatique portatif (PCD) du destinataire. Le dispositif PCD reçoit l'adresse Internet via son dispositif de communication qui vérifie si le dispositif PDC est en mode de faible consommation d'énergie. Dans ce cas, le dispositif de communication déclenche une séquence d'activation, puis lance un logiciel d'application tiers pour se connecter à Internet et résoudre l'adresse. Une fois l'adresse résolue, le destinataire est prévenu quant au contenu reçu, contenu avec lequel il peut alors interagir. Cette interaction convient particulièrement pour les enchères en ligne, les achats groupés, la gestion du personnel de vente, les enquêtes, et le vote. Dans une variante, le dépôt ne reçoit que l'adresse Internet, laquelle est ensuite transmise de la même façon au destinataire.
