A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile
data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is disclosed. A
redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to
continuously redirect user-selected data items from the host system to
the user's mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or
more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program
operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging
systems at the host system to configure and detect particular
user-defined events, and then to repackage the user-selected data items
in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile
device. The system includes information processing components for
identifying one or more information processors in the vicinity of the
mobile device and then routing an attachment or information from the host
system, the device or an external information source to a selected
information processor.
