Embodiment Construction

[0013] Short Message Service (SMS) messages are used to convey information. SMS is often used to communicate between cell phones. Typically, the sender of the message composes the message and directs the message to the recipient's phone number. Transmit the message to the recipient's phone. The SMS software on the recipient's phone notifies the recipient that a message is available and displays the message.

[0014] Information can be transferred between devices in many ways, and SMS is only one of those ways. Many wireless phones function as fully Internet-capable devices. Such devices may also receive messages in ways other than SMS. For example, a smartphone can receive emails, push notifications, or requests for an Internet connection. By coupling push notifications with the ability to download arbitrary Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) content via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), it is possible for Internet-capable phones to message each other while completely byp...

Abstract

Messages containing structured entities may be sent between devices in a way that leverages the existing Short Message Service (SMS) protocol. On the message sender's device, the sender may author a message indicating specific entities such as people, places, dates, or times. When the message is to be sent, an SMS representation of the message is sent to the recipient, and a full representation of the message, including the included entities, is sent to a server. If the SMS message is received at a device that is equipped with software that can retrieve and render the rich representation, then the device queries the server to determine whether there is a rich message that corresponds to the SMS message. If such a message exists, then the message is communicated to the recipient's device and is rendered in place of the SMS message.

Description

Background technique [0001] People often communicate with each other through messages—eg, via the Short Message Service (SMS) commonly associated with telephones, or via various Instant Messaging (IM) systems. In the past, SMS was virtually the only way to send text messages from a cell phone. Typically, SMS messages are sent between devices that have phone numbers. These messages are subject to strict size limits, and the sending of such messages is charged by the telephone carrier at SMS-specific rates. However, many modern cellular telephones have Internet connectivity and the ability to participate in a wide variety of communication protocols, such as Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). HTTP has the ability to send and transmit content with a variety of characteristics (eg, links, photos, audio, etc.) and arbitrary length. Additionally, HTTP messages can be sent between any device addressable on the Internet. Such messages are sent using the device's normal Internet se...
