Abstract
A method for pushing data in an internet protocol (IP) network environment is provided that includes assigning a network identifier to an end user of a mobile station. A relationship is determined between the network identifier and an IP address element, the relationship being stored in a database. A query is received for the network identifier of the end user and, in response to the query, the IP address element is provided such that a querying entity may push data to the mobile station.
Claims59
A method for pushing data in an internet protocol (IP) network environment, comprising:
- assigning a network identifier to an end user of a mobile station;
- determining a relationship between the network identifier and an IP address element;
- storing the relationship in a database;
- receiving a query for the network identifier for the end user;
- and
- in response to the query, providing the IP address element such that a querying entity may push data to the mobile station.
A method for pushing data in an Internet Protocol (IP) network environment, comprising:
- querying a database for a network identifier, the network identifier being associated with an IP address element of an end user of a mobile station;
- receiving the IP address element from the database;
- and
- pushing data associated with the IP address element to the end user of the mobile station.
A system for pushing data in an Internet Protocol (IP) network environment, comprising:
- means for assigning a network identifier to an end user of a mobile station;
- means for determining a relationship between the network identifier and an IP address element;
- means for storing the relationship in a database;
- means for receiving a query for the network identifier for the end user;
- and
- in response to the query, means for providing the IP address element such that a querying entity may push data to the mobile station.
A system for pushing data in an Internet Protocol (IP) network environment, comprising:
- means for querying a database for a network identifier, the network identifier being associated with an IP address element of an end user of a mobile station;
- means for receiving the IP address element from the database;
- and
- means for pushing data associated with the IP address element to the end user of the mobile station.
Software embodied in a computer readable media and operable to:
- assign a network identifier to an end user of a mobile station;
- determine a relationship between the network identifier and an Internet Protocol (IP) address element;
- store the relationship in a database;
- receive a query for the network identifier for the end user;
- and
- in response to the query, provide the IP address element such that a querying entity may push data to the mobile station.
Software embodied in a computer readable media and operable to:
- query a database for a network identifier, the network identifier being associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) address element of an end user of a mobile station;
- receive the IP address element from the database;
- and
- push data associated with the IP address element to the end user of the mobile station.
An apparatus for pushing data in a network environment, comprising:
- a network database element operable to assign a network identifier to an end user of a mobile station and to determine a relationship between the network identifier and an Internet Protocol (IP) address element, the relationship being stored in the network database element, wherein the network database element receives a query for the network identifier for the end user and in response to the query, provides the IP address element to a querying entity such that data may be pushed to the mobile station.
An apparatus for pushing data in a network environment, comprising:
- an application server operable to query a database for a network identifier, the network identifier being associated with an Internet Protocol (IP) address element of an end user of a mobile station, wherein the application server receives the IP address element from the database and pushes data associated with the IP address element to the end user of the mobile station.
