Problems solved by technology
However, the WAP usage model for Web browsing is problematic.
The problems include the fact that WAP is a synchronous protocol, that Web browsing inherently involves serial navigation, and that the Internet and wireless networks tend to have very high latencies.
This fact, combined with high network latencies and the requirement of serialize navigation, means that users have to wait repeatedly when Web browsing or accessing applications from their mobile devices, making these processes long and laborious.
It will be recognized that the foregoing is a time-consuming and tedious process, which discourages users from using the Web browsing capability of their mobile devices.
A more in-depth browsing session would require a correspondingly longer and more tedious process.
So, while WAP provides an effective way to publish content (e.g., web pages), it has serious disadvantages in terms of usability when accessing content.
WAP also has disadvantages from the standpoint of content availability.
The WAP model, in addition to the above-noted shortcomings, is not well adapted to providing wireless carriers with efficient monetization opportunities.
This billing structure, combined with low volume of use due to the above-noted problems, translates into relatively low profit margins for wireless carriers.

Overview
[0034]The solution described herein provides a powerful way for wireless subscribers to publish and access many types of content and to access applications from their mobile devices, in a manner which is user friendly so as to encourage use, and which provides wireless carriers with an efficient way to generate revenue from its use. The solution provides ease of publishing content, while also using an asynchronous person-to-person communication model and providing efficient monetization.
[0035]As described further below, the described solution includes a system that enables end users to use multimedia messaging system (MMS) messages to publish and access content, and to invoke applications, from their mobile devices. MMS is a 2.5 G / 3 G messaging system for asynchronous person-to-person messaging, which is based on the SMS standard, but which enables communication over wireless networks of messages containing “rich media” content, i.e., content of types that tend to be much mo...

An MMS publishing system comprises a management tool, an authoring tool, a storage facility, a message router, and a rendering server. The management tool authenticates a first user by using a telephone number of the first user as a user ID. The authoring tool allows the first user to associate rich media content with his telephone number. The content is then stored in the storage facility in association with his telephone number. Subsequently, the message router intercepts an MMS message sent from a mobile device over a wireless network when the MMS message includes a predetermined indicator and indicates the telephone number of the first user as a destination. The rendering server then accesses the stored content associated with the telephone number and sends the content to the mobile device, for output to a user of the mobile device.
Description
[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional patent application No. 60 / 424,733, filed on Nov. 8, 2002, and entitled, “MMS Based Application Server and Content Publishing System”, which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]At least one embodiment of the present invention pertains to computer / communications network, and more particularly, to techniques for publishing and accessing content and accessing application services over a network using mobile devices.BACKGROUND[0003]Personal mobile communication / computing devices, such as cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and two-way pagers, have become commonplace in many countries. These devices can be collectively referred to as “mobile devices”. Many of the latest generation of mobile devices provide their users with the ability to access resources on the Internet via wireless telecommunications networks (or simply, “wireless networks”). For example, some of these mobile dev...
