Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A method of processing information to alter a field of a record of a dataset, the dataset being stored in memory on a mobile device and having a plurality of similarly structured records, the method comprising: receiving an object from a wireless receiver, the object having an object header comprising a first portion designating an identifier of a dataset from a plurality of datasets and a second portion designating an action to perform, the object further including object information, wherein the object information comprises a format having a first portion designating a field identifier of a field from a plurality of fields; and processing the object to ascertain the action to perform to alter data in a field of one of the records as a function of the identifier and the field identifier.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
A method of processing information to alter a field of a record of a dataset, the dataset being stored in memory on a mobile device and having a plurality of similarly structured records, the method comprising: receiving an object from a wireless receiver, the object having an object header comprising a first portion designating an identifier of a dataset from a plurality of datasets and a second portion designating an action to perform, the object further including object information, wherein the object information comprises a format having a first portion designating a field identifier of a field from a plurality of fields; and processing the object to ascertain the action to perform to alter data in a field of one of the records as a function of the identifier and the field identifier.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 and further comprising: reporting if an error occurs during the step of processing.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the action includes at least one of adding, changing and deleting data in the field of one of the records.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the format further comprises a second portion designating field data.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
