1. Patent 6,738,766 recognizes InnoPath’s unique
method for providing personalized application search
results in a mobile device. This involves receiving
a search request from a user including at least one
search keyword and a user identifier. An application
registry database is searched for a first set of matching
applications based on the search keyword, followed
by a search of an application selection table for a
second set of matching applications based on the search
keyword and the user identifier. The combination yields
a highly accurate search result based on matching applications
that are ordered and sent to the user. |

2. Patent 6,816,944 recognizes InnoPath’s unique
method for managing information in a mobile device.
This involves downloading a set of files and determining
whether the local cache has enough space to store the
data. If there is insufficient space to store the files,
outdated records are removed and available local cache
space is checked again. This process is repeated until
all download files are loaded into the local cache. |

 |
3. Patent 6,836,657 recognizes InnoPath’s unique
method for ensuring 100 per cent accurate updates online
and over-the-air. This method allows wireless operators
to reliably update mobile devices over the air to new
firmware releases while maintaining the option to fall
back to the original firmware revision (prior to the
update) with 100 per cent reliability. |

4. Patent 6,925,467 recognizes InnoPath’s unique
method to produce the most compact and efficient change
files, applying a known file difference utility to
an old program and a new program normally results in
a relatively large amount of data, even if there are
only a small number of modifications. With InnoPath's
patented and highly innovative technology, only essential
changes appear in a delta file, typically
shrinking update packages by as much as 97 per cent. |

5. Patent 6,928,467 describes methods where object
stores are used as building blocks to construct a system
with variable complexity on a network. Typically, an
object store comprises information (e.g., data) stored
in object format, or objects. The objects and object
stores are managed by an object version management
mechanism that adapts to different object store types
and optimizes resource consumption by each object store.
Various data fields are used to indicate an object's
version within an object store. Version information
is used to compare the states among matching object
replicas in matching object stores. Utilizing both
the object store based system and the object version
management mechanism, a data synchronization protocol
is developed. The data synchronization protocol is
capable of adapting to different types of object stores
and the characteristics of network connection media
to optimize data synchronization. |

6. Patent 6,954,754 describes an exemplary method
for managing a cache on a mobile device. This involves
checking existing application or data file status to
determine if they are out-of-date or if a scheduled
update is overdue. If the files are out-of-date or
the scheduled update is overdue, updated files are
loaded. |
| |
 |
7. Patent 6,957,212 describes an exemplary method
for intelligently caching applications and data on
a gateway. This involves calculating a cache benefit
index for a set of files, to determine whether to cache
the set of files on a local file system. If so, the
files are cached on the local file system, and the
cache tables in the gateway database are updated. |
| |
|

|
8. Patent 6,959,436 describes a method for intelligently
providing application and data in a mobile device system.
This involves collecting at least one year of user
operation history and generating user and application
registration information. Application or data is then
selectively cached on a mobile device and a gateway
based on the user’s operation history. Other
gateways are then synchronized based on the user’s
operation history. |

9. Patent 7,003,534 recognizes a new method of generating
different files using module information of embedded
software components. The software component distributor
(SCD) generates a new map file, hex file and device
memory map (DMM). The SCD compares the new DMM and
the corresponding original DMM, after the comparison
is made the SCD inserts new data. Checking a module
by its name and version is more efficient since modules
can be many megabytes in size. |

|
10. Patent 7,006,512 recognizes an exemplary method
for managing requests in a mobile device system. This
involves assigning a priority to each queue in a set
of priority queues and inputting requests into the
queues based on a priority associated with each request.
Multiple requests in the set of priority queues are
merged and before being sent to a request queue for
a connection in a connection pool for a destination. |

11. Patent 7,007,049 recognizes InnoPath’s
unique method for supporting device memory management
during electronic file updating. This technology allows
the creation of larger contiguous blocks of free or
unused memory within the Flash ROM program or coding
area by moving existing blocks to create larger ‘free
memory’ areas that can be used for larger software
updates. This function is similar to defragging a hard
drive on a personal computer. |

|

|
12. Patent 7,031,972 recognizes InnoPath’s
unique method for a file differencing and update system.
The file differencing component, or file differencing
engine, generates a difference file from an old and
a new version of electronic files. This processing
includes processing to reduce the number of changes
introduced by code block swaps. During alignment operations,
the block movements are dynamically recorded at minimal
cost and encoded to support code recovery. |
| |
 |
13. Patent 7,089,270 recognizes InnoPath’s
unique method for processing software images for use
in generating difference files. Software/executable
changes between file versions include primary changes/logical
changes, which are defined to be the source code changes,
and secondary changes. The secondary changes include
address changes, pointer target address changes, and
changes in address offsets. The pre-processing systems
and methods provided use approximation rules between
file versions to remove/reduce the secondary changes
and encode information relating to the removal of these
changes in information of the corresponding difference
file. |

|

|
14. Patent 7,096,311 recognizes InnoPath’s
unique method for updating electronic files using byte-level
file differencing and updating algorithms. The
upgrade client employs multiple memory areas to apply
a difference file to the original memory image. Memory
is copied and updated in blocks by reading the original
memory image and processing it with the difference
file to generate and apply new updated memory blocks. |
| |
|

|
15. Patent 7,099,884 recognizes InnoPath’s
unique method for data compression and decompression. The
compression method identifies repetitive data of an
input file and writes meta-data representative of the
repetitive data to a first buffer. Non-repetitive
data is written to a second buffer. The compressor
concatenates the first and second buffers along with
information of the length of the input file and the
length of the first buffer to form a compressed file.
A corresponding decompression method parses the compressed
file and quickly computes the original file using a
pre-allocated memory area. |
| |
 |
16. Patent 7,313,577 recognizes InnoPath's unique
method for generating difference files using module
information of embedded software components. A software
component distributor constructs updates only on the
software components that have actually changed, identifying
inserted, deleted or changed components. Difference
information representative of these changed components
is constructed. |
| |
|
 |
17. Patent 7,320,010 recognizes InnoPath's unique
method for controlling updates of electronic files.
A portable communications device receives update files
that includes information to repair errors in the device's
software. The device automatically upgrades the software
components using information fromt he update file.
The device automatically recovers to an operational
state when an error is detected or if the update fails.
The update resumes after recovery from the failure. |

|
 |
18. Patent 7,350,205 recognizes InnoPath's unique
method for upgrading electronic files of a mobile device
upgrade client. A portable device
receives upgrade files that repair errors in software
components and/or that upgrade information controlling
functions of the device via a wireless coupling. An
upgrade client automatically updates the device components,
including support to update the compoents of the upgrade
client. |
