The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method comprising:
dynamically assigning a port to an application on the basis of a persona at a communication device, the application enabled to receive notifications from a given provider;
registering the port with a server to receive the notifications; and,
opening the port to receive notifications associated with the persona for the application from the server.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the port is opened when the persona is active at the communication device.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the port is dynamically assigned when the application is first processed at the communication device under the persona, and the port is static thereafter with regards to the persona.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the same application is assigned a plurality of ports in a one-to-one relationship with each persona at the communication device under which the application is processed.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the persona is rendered active by receipt of one or more of: user credentials, log-in credentials, and one or more identifiers unique to the persona at the communication device.
6. The method of claim 1, further comprising when the persona is inactive, closing the port such that notifications associated with the persona are not received from the server.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein registering the port comprises transmitting an associated port identifier with a provider identifier to the server.
8. The method of claim 1, further comprising registering the port with the provider to receive the notifications via the server.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the registering the port with the provider comprises transmitting a time-sensitive token to the provider comprising an encrypted associated port identifier.
10. The method of claim 9, further comprising exchanging decryption data for decrypting the encrypted associated port identifier with the server, such that the time-sensitive token can be transmitted by the provider to the server for decryption and verification, the server thereafter transmitting to the provider the encrypted associated port identifier, the provider thereafter transmitting the notifications to the server with the encrypted associated port identifier for delivery to the communication device.
11. A communication device comprising:
a processing unit interconnected with a communication interface, said processing unit enabled to:
dynamically assign a port to an application on the basis of a persona at the communication device, the application enabled to receive notifications from a given provider;
register the port with a server to receive the notifications; and,
open the port to receive notifications associated with the persona for the application from the server.
12. The communication device of claim 11, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to open the port when the persona is active at the communication device.
13. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to dynamically assign the port when the application is first processed at the communication device under the persona, and the port is static thereafter with regards to the persona.
14. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to assign a plurality of ports to the same application in a one-to-one relationship with each persona at the communication device under which the application is processed.
15. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to render the persona active by receipt of one or more of: user credentials, log-in credentials, and one or more identifiers unique to the persona at the communication device.
16. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to close the port when the persona is inactive such that notifications associated with the persona are not received from the server.
17. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to register the port by transmitting an associated port identifier with a provider identifier to the server.
18. The communication device of claim 1, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to register the port with the provider to receive the notifications via the server.
19. The communication device of claim 18, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to register the port with the provider by transmitting a time-sensitive token to the provider comprising an encrypted associated port identifier.
20. The communication device of claim 19, wherein the processing unit is further enabled to exchange decryption data for decrypting the encrypted associated port identifier with the server, such that the time-sensitive token can be transmitted by the provider to the server for decryption and verification, the server thereafter transmitting to the provider the encrypted associated port identifier, the provider thereafter transmitting the notifications to the server with the encrypted associated port identifier for delivery to the communication device.
