Multiple data store authentication

A method of communicating by a system with one or more data stores, the method comprising:

• receiving, over an Internet Protocol connection between the system and a mobile device associated with a first user, a communication from the mobile device to receive new data from the one or more data stores,
• wherein the communication is based on input from the first user at the mobile device;
• transmitting data received from the one or more data stores to the mobile device over an Internet Protocol connection between the system and the mobile device associated with the first user based on authentication of the mobile device,
• wherein the authentication is based on a token comprising a unique string of data, the token having been previously assigned to the mobile device;
• receiving a first notification message of new data at the one or more data stores;
• sending a message of a first type to the mobile device to inform the mobile device of the new data at the one or more data stores,
• wherein the message of the first type is sent over an Internet Protocol connection between the system and the mobile device associated with the first user in response to receipt of the first notification message;
• and
• sending a message of a second type to the mobile device,
• wherein the message of the second type is a notification sent through a push operation over a connection that is different from an Internet Protocol connection between the system and the mobile device associated with the first user in response to receipt of the first notification message.

A system for communicating with one or more data stores, the system comprising:

• a communication interface;
• one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communication interface;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the memory contains instructions executable by the one or more processors whereby the system is configured to:
• receive, over Internet Protocol connections between the system and a mobile device associated with a first user, a communication from the mobile device to receive new data from the one or more data stores,
• wherein the communication is based on input from the first user at the mobile device;
• transmit data received from the one or more data stores to the mobile device over a subsequent Internet Protocol connection based on authentication of the mobile device,
• wherein the authentication is based on a token comprising a unique string of data, the token having been previously assigned to the mobile device;
• receive a first notification message of new data at the one or more data stores;
• send a message of a first type to the mobile device to inform the mobile device of the new data at the one or more data stores,
• wherein the message of the first type is sent over one of the Internet Protocol connections in response to receipt of the first notification message;
• and
• send a message of a second type to the mobile device,
• wherein the message of the second type is a notification sent through a push operation over a connection that is different from one of the Internet Protocol connections in response to receipt of the first notification message.
