A method, apparatus, client and server are directed at providing a simplified scheme to deliver email messages that include text message body, and/or MIME attachments from desktop computing devices to messaging (such as SMS) and wireless internet capable phones. A web form is provided for users to compose messages and/or adding MIME attachments from their PC. Also provided in the form are input fields for users to enter device numbers for recipients. Upon submitting the form, message body and MIME attachments are uploaded and stored on the server. An email WAP page that contains the message body and the links to all the MIME attachments is created dynamically and stored on the server. The server then queries a service database and looks up a domain routing table to build the email like messaging addresses for recipients. The server sends a notification message with an embedded link to the email like messaging addresses. The link, such as a URL, a script, an executable, a program, and the like, pointing to the email WAP page, can be invoked from mobile devices. When the link is invoked on the mobile device, it sends a request to the server for the email WAP page. Upon receiving the request from the mobile device, the server collects the information about the mobile device; queries a device database for formats, display and capabilities; locates and loads the email WAP page; converts the MIME attachments to the formats supported by the mobile device; formats the email WAP page for display on the mobile device; delivers the formatted email WAP page to the mobile device. The email WAP page can be viewed, downloaded, and played on the mobile device. The scheme of the present invention supports a device number based authentication. The scheme of the present invention can also be implemented to deliver email messages to multiple mobile devices. The scheme of the present invention can expand the PC to SMS capabilities by enabling text messaging with arbitrary message length.

Other users of the system may view the media message and record reply media messages, which are similarly uploaded to the web provider. In some embodiments, the message and reply messages may be linked, providing an interactive media-based asynchronous dialogue.

A method, apparatus, client and server are directed at providing a simplified scheme to deliver rich content messages that include text, audio, video, and images from desktop computing devices to multimedia capable phones. A web form is provided for users to specify rich content elements such as text, audio, video, and images either from their local desktop computing device or from rich content store on a network. Also provided in the form are input fields for users to enter device numbers and the service providers for recipients. Upon submitting the form, rich content elements are uploaded and stored on the server. A WAP page that contains the links to all the rich content elements is generated dynamically and stored on the server. The server sends a notification message with an embedded link to the specified mobile devices. The link, such as a URL, a script, an executable, a program, and the like, pointing to the WAP page, can be invoked from mobile devices. When the link is invoked on the mobile device, it sends a request to the server for the rich content WAP page. Upon receiving the request from the mobile device, the server collects the information about the mobile device; locates and loads the rich content WAP page; converts the rich content elements to the formats supported by the mobile device; optimizes the WAP page for display on the mobile device; delivers the optimized rich content WAP page to the mobile device. The rich content WAP page can be viewed, downloaded, saved, and played on the mobile device. The scheme of the present invention can also be implemented to deliver rich content messages to multiple mobile devices.

The present invention is a method and system for using a mobile or desktop computing device, such as a cellular telephone or personal computer, to store an individual's health parameters. These health parameters may include blood work, urine tests, etc. and also standard personal factors such as weight, diet habits, medications, allergies, etc. The health parameters can be plotted on color coded graphs. The color-coded parameters will manifest themselves in the form of “trend lines”, which will identify the ‘direction’ the particular health parameters are moving. The invention will allow the health data to be plotted individually or correlated with other parameters to predict an individual's “state of health” (SOH). This correlated trending data provides an individual with a means to determine if some type of proactive health measure could be taken to stop a negative trend and prevent more drastic actions, such as medication or surgery.
