Messaging system comprising an auxiliary device communicatively coupled with a client device

Abstract

A notification system to display notifications at a client device by performing operations that include: coupling, via a communication pathway, a client device with an auxiliary device, the auxiliary device comprising a receiver configured to receive data packets from a pager network; receiving, at the auxiliary device, a data packet that comprises a reference to a data object; and causing the auxiliary device to transmit the reference to the data object to the client device via the communication pathway.

1 . A system comprising:
 one or more processors; and   a memory storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor among the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:   coupling an auxiliary device with a client device, the auxiliary device comprising a receiver;   receiving, at the auxiliary device, a data packet that comprises a reference to a data object;   causing the auxiliary device to transmit the reference to the data object to the client device; and   causing the client device to access a memory location that includes at least the data object, based on the reference to the data object.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the data object includes a record within a database. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the database is a local database of the client device. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the database is a database of a server system, and the operations further comprise:
 causing the client device to establish a network connection with the server system; and   accessing the data object at the database of the server system based on the reference.   
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the reference includes a memory address. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the coupling the client device with the auxiliary device includes:
 establishing a communication pathway between the auxiliary device and the client.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the communication pathway includes a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         8 . A method comprising:
 coupling an auxiliary device with a client device, the auxiliary device comprising a receiver;   receiving, at the auxiliary device, a data packet that comprises a reference to a data object;   causing the auxiliary device to transmit the reference to the data object to the client device; and   causing the client device to access a memory location that includes at least the data object, based on the reference to the data object.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the data object includes a record within a database. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the database is a local database of the client device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the database is a database of a server system, and the method further comprises:
 causing the client device to establish a network connection with the server system; and   accessing the data object at the database of the server system based on the reference.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the reference includes a memory address. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the coupling the client device with the auxiliary device includes:
 establishing a communication pathway between the auxiliary device and the client.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the communication pathway includes a Bluetooth connection. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
 coupling an auxiliary device with a client device, the auxiliary device comprising a receiver;   receiving, at the auxiliary device, a data packet that comprises a reference to a data object;   causing the auxiliary device to transmit the reference to the data object to the client device; and   causing the client device to access a memory location that includes at least the data object, based on the reference to the data object.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the data object includes a record within a database. 
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 16 , wherein the database is a local database of the client device. 
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 16 , wherein the database is a database of a server system, and the operations further comprise:
 causing the client device to establish a network connection with the server system; and   accessing the data object at the database of the server system based on the reference.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 15 , wherein the coupling the client device with the auxiliary device includes:
 establishing a communication pathway between the auxiliary device and the client.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 19 , wherein the communication pathway includes a Bluetooth connection.
