Mobile device power management in data synchronization over a mobile network with or without a trigger notification

A method for transferring data between a mobile device and a client, comprising:

• sending transactions between the mobile device and the client over a connection between the client and a management system and a mobile connection between the mobile device and the management system;
• determining that new data for the mobile device is available at the client;
• sending a trigger to notify the mobile device of the new content when the new content meets criteria defined by a filter which identifies types of events for which a trigger is to be sent;
• forwarding a synchronization request sent from the mobile device to the client responsive to the trigger;
• and
• sending transactions between the mobile device and the local network over the new mobile connection and the previously established primary connection.

A mobile device located in a mobile network, comprising:

• a processor configured to exchange transactions with a client through a connection provided through a server coupled to the client;
• the processor to send synchronization requests from the mobile device to the local network;
• wherein, a frequency of the synchronization requests is sent according to remaining battery power on the mobile device;
• the processor to exchange synchronization communications with the client over the connection after sending the synchronization request.
