Abstract:
1. A system for accessing services of an information processor with a mobile communication device, comprising: a messaging server comprising a redirector program and an attachment handling component stored on a computer-readable medium of the messaging server, wherein the messaging server receives messages having attachments and redirects the messages and information about the attachments to the mobile communication device; a firewall coupling the messaging server to a wide area network, wherein the firewall provides security for the messaging server; a relay system coupling the wide area network to a wireless network; wherein the messaging server encrypts the messages, and redirects the encrypted messages to the mobile communication device through the firewall, the wide area network, the relay system, and the wireless network, the messages remaining encrypted until received at the mobile communication device, which decrypts the encrypted messages; a service information provider located remotely from the information processor and the mobile communication device, wherein the service information provider includes service information comprising one or more service addresses associated with the information processor and information regarding the information processing capabilities of the information processor; and an interface between the service information provider and the mobile communication device for transferring the service information associated with the information processor to the mobile communication device; wherein the mobile communication device obtains the service information associated with the information processor via the interface and wherein each service address enables the mobile communication device to access a particular service of the information processor; wherein the mobile communication device determines, based on the information about the attachment and the service information, whether the information processor can process the attachment.
