Автор: Ron Hirson
Принадлежит: Boku Inc

In one aspect, a system includes an interchange with a data storage facility. The interchange includes a common format processor and a plurality of converters to interface with a plurality of different controllers of mobile communications. The converters are configured to communicate with the common format processor in a common format and to communicate with the controllers in different formats. The interchange is to receive a request identifying a source phone number and a destination phone number, use a first converter to communicate with a mobile phone at the source phone number to obtain a confirmation of the request, obtain an amount of funds from a funding source associated with the source phone number, and use a second converter to transmit a message to a mobile phone at the destination phone number to indicate the availability of the amount of funds.

Method and System for Efficiently Routing Messages

Номер: US20120015677A1
Автор: Bryan Keith Tarleton, William George Smitses
Принадлежит: Cellemetry LLC

Efficient routing of a message over a data network. A first communication device sends a message to a telemetry gateway or short message arbitrator. The telemetry gateway or short message arbitrator determines the communication protocol of the first communication device and the communication protocol of a second communication device. The telemetry gateway or short message arbitrator converts the message to a data format compatible with the second communication device, wherein the message is converted to one of at least three different communication protocols. The telemetry gateway or short message arbitrator then forwards the message for receipt by the second communication device. The telemetry gateway or short message arbitrator can convert and forward the message without completing a store and forward process.

An application service utilizes a single short code for messaging service through a mobile network, even though the one service is actually supported by multiple servers or the like, typically operated by different service providers. In the examples, a third party application service type platform is associated with the common short code of the application service. The third party platform performs intelligent routing/address changes to re-direct mobile station originated messages among the equipment of the service providers. The platform may also provide short code translations of source addresses, during processing of messages directed to mobile stations from the various application servers. 1. A method comprising steps of:receiving, in a gateway server of a wireless mobile communication network, a first mobile messaging service (MMS) message from a server of a first provider of an application service, wherein the application service is provided to a plurality of mobile devices from servers of a plurality of application service providers including the first provider, and wherein the first MMS message received from the server of the first provider includes in a source address field a first messaging service short code corresponding to the server of the first provider of the application service;forwarding the received first MMS message to an application server associated with the application service to cause the application server to replace the first messaging service short code in the source address field with a messaging service short code corresponding to the application service, wherein the application server is configured to replace in the source address field of MMS messages a messaging service short code corresponding to a server of any of the plurality of application service providers providing the application service with the messaging service short code corresponding to the application service; andupon receiving, from the application server in the gateway ...

Принадлежит: Kenneth J. Lovegreen

A method and a server for controlling valet parking services. When a guest arrives, a valet employee sends the server a guest arrival message containing a valet ticket number and an associated mobile phone number of the guest. The server sends a welcoming message to the guest with instructions for the guest to simply reply to the welcoming message to request retrieval of the guest's vehicle. Alternatively, the instructions may include a Shortcode number to which the reply text message is to be sent. When the server subsequently receives the reply message from the guest, the server matches the mobile phone number of the guest with the associated valet ticket number, and sends a retrieval message to the valet employee or supervisor instructing that the guest vehicle with the associated valet ticket number be retrieved. The server prevents employee fraud by ensuring ticket numbers are not used more than once.

An Optimized Streetlight Operation (OSLO) system that utilizes a cellular network overlay to broadcast control commands issued by a centralized Streetlight Operation Center (SOC) to RF control modules mounted on each streetlight pole. The cellular network may be a CDMA network utilizing Short Message Service-Broadcast (SMS-B) messaging. When a Mobile Telephone Exchange/Mobile Switching Center (MTX/MSC) receives a SOC control command from the SOC, the MTX/MSC causes a plurality of BSs to broadcast the SOC command in the network operating area a defined number of times. Each RF control module that successfully receives the broadcast SOC control command, performs actions to control operation of the module's associated streetlight, and transmits a confirmation message to the module's serving BS indicating the SOC command was received. The modules are configured to stagger transmission of the confirmation messages over a period of time to reduce a peak load imposed on the cellular network.
