Abstract

A system, method and computer readable medium for mediating communication between a mobile device and a data source over a network is described. The system includes an asynchronous message receiver that is configured to receive an asynchronous request message from the device. The asynchronous request message includes an identifier field for identifying the asynchronous request message and a message field. The system also includes a synchronous message transceiver communicatively coupled to the asynchronous message receiver and configured to synchronously communicate with the data source by sending a synchronous request message to the data source and receiving a synchronous response message from the data source in return. The synchronous request message includes the message field of the asynchronous request message. A rules processor also forms part of the system, and is communicatively coupled to the synchronous message transceiver. The rules processor is configured to apply a set of rules to combine the identifier field and the message field of the asynchronous request message with a message field of the synchronous response message to form an asynchronous response message that is…
