Abstract
Systems, methods, and programs for processing extra data when a triggering event occurs. In one embodiment, an application, triggering event data, and extra data is stored on a wireless device. The wireless device monitors a triggering event parameter associated with an application, such as the expiration of the application. When the triggering event occurs, the wireless device processes the extra data in addition to processing associated with the triggering event data. The extra data may include URLs, scripts or other instructions that involve processing locally to the wireless device or requiring connection to a wireless network for remote processing on other devices.
Claims15
A method for processing a triggering event associated with information, comprising:
- receiving the triggering event parameter associated with the information;
- receiving extra data capable of being processed;
- monitoring the triggering event parameter;
- and
- in the event the triggering event occurs based on analysis of the triggering event parameter, processing the extra data.
A method of expiration processing for an application, comprising:
- receiving the expiration parameter, a URL containing a script and an application at a wireless device;
- monitoring the wireless device to determine if the expiration parameter indicates the application has expired;
- processing the URL;
- and
- processing the expiration of the application.
A wireless device for processing a triggering event associated with information and extra data, comprising:
- the wireless device containing monitoring logic to monitor a triggering event parameter, wherein the wireless device also selectively processes a triggering event and processes extra data upon occurrence of a triggering event.
A computer readable medium containing computer instructions that when executed perform a method for processing a triggering event associated with information, comprising the steps of:
- receiving the triggering event parameter associated with the information;
- receiving extra data capable of being processed;
- monitoring the triggering event parameter;
- and
- in the event the triggering event occurs based on analysis of the triggering event parameter, processing the extra data.
An apparatus used to process a triggering event associated with information, comprising:
- means for receiving the triggering event parameter associated with the information;
- means for receiving extra data capable of being processed;
- means for monitoring the triggering event parameter;
- and
- in the event the triggering event occurs based on analysis of the triggering event parameter, means for processing the extra data.
