Patent ID: 7444141

Claim:
A method for providing internally stored rules of operation to a mobile communications device, the method comprising: comprising one or more absolute rules wherein: the absolute rules are composed of one or more operand sentences; each operand sentence includes a sequence of one or more operands; each operand is separated from the next sequential operand by an implicit boolean AND operator; each operand sentence is terminated by a delimiter operand, the delimiter operand corresponding to a result; each of the operand sentences is sequentially evaluated, the evaluation being either true or false; an operand sentence evaluation of false causes the next sequential operand sentence to be evaluated; an operand sentence evaluation of true halts further operand sentence evaluation, the delimiter value of said true operand sentence being the result dictated by the absolute rules; using a predefined rules development language to compose one or more rules of operation in a text format; converting the rules of operation from the text format into a compressed format; encoding the compressed rules of operation into a sequence of numbers; using a transport mechanism to transfer the number sequence to an internal memory area of the mobile communications unit; decoding the number sequence into compressed rules of operation; and storing the compressed rules of operation in predefined areas of nonvolatile random access memory of the mobile communications unit.
