Abstract
A system and method for managing mobile device communication in an enterprise includes a device management agent and a synchronization agent in the mobile device. Information about the status of the mobile device is collected by the device management agent and the synchronization agent communicates the status information to the enterprise with which the mobile device is associated. A synchronization server at the enterprise collects device information and updates records at the enterprise. Information such as device telephone number is propagated to the enterprise directory and potentially to a PBX to ensure connectivity with the mobile device.
Claims19
A method implemented at a first communication device, the method comprising:
- receiving time zone information for a second communication device;
- storing said time zone information for the second communication device;
- detecting, at the first communication device, initiation of communication with the second communication device;
- in response to said initiation, issuing a notification at the first communication device based on said stored time zone information.
A communication device, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- enable receipt of time zone information for another communication device;
- store said time zone information for the other communication device in a data store;
- detect, at the first communication device, initiation of communication with the other communication device;
- in response to said initiation, issue a notification at the communication device based on said stored time zone information.
A communication device program product comprising a non-transitory communication device readable medium bearing code which, when executed by a processor of a communication device, causes said device to:
- enable receipt of time zone information for an other communication device;
- store said time zone information for the other communication device in a data store;
- detect, at the communication device, initiation of communication with the other communication device;
- in response to said initiation, issue a notification at the communication device based on said stored time zone information.
