6908 results about "Text messaging" patented technology

Text messaging, or texting, is the act of composing and sending electronic messages, typically consisting of alphabetic and numeric characters, between two or more users of mobile devices, desktops/laptops, or other type of compatible computer. Text messages may be sent over a cellular network, or may also be sent via an Internet connection.

Mobile originated interactive menus via short messaging services

A method and apparatus for providing 2-way interactive short message system menus to a mobile device using text-based short messaging rather than WAP techniques. This provides the ability to provide WAP like services at a fraction of the cost of CSD. Mobile Originated Interactive Menus are implemented as a feature of a Short Message Service Center (SMSC). Each option guides either to the next menu level, or to a final action to be executed according to the path followed by the subscriber. Importantly, the mobile originated interactive menus use SMS communications instead of circuit switched data (CSD) (e.g., instead of WAP communications), thus leaving traffic channels available for voice calls. Interactive SMS menus allow service providers to offer their subscribers personalized messaging menus with multiple options for quick and easy access to Web-based content. Users may define the content and frequency they want, whether it is a scheduled delivery or on-demand. The interactive SMS menu options offer customers a simple-to-use technique and apparatus for checking, e.g., stock quotes, local weather, and / or other Web-based news and information when they want it. The interactive nature of the service allows the wireless network to poll the user for their next response, with multiple menued options offered, making it highly intuitive. Replacement of messages in TDMA and GSM mobile devices allow for heavy usage without filling up the user's phone buffer, i.e., prior messages may be overwritten, to assure that only the latest information is all that is being displayed and read. The flexibility of Interactive SMS Menus can allow service providers to define their own base offering of menus, depending upon their targeted customer segments.

Wireless data system

A system and method for enabling a user to request and receive product information, participate in voting or polling activities, reprint an article or other publication, request and authorize a purchase of a magazine subscription, music sound clip, or other product, and/or share personal information with other users. The service request and information delivery may provided over a mobile phone. The user dials a series of digits into their phone and enters them into the disclosed system, for example by pressing the send key on a mobile phone. The digits entered by the user include a prefix or routing code, and a data code. The dialed digits are transferred to a call switching system, which determines, based on the prefix code, a processing system to which a message is sent including the originally dialed digits as well as identification of the user or phone that placed the call. The processing system may then determine, based on the identification of the mobile phone that placed the call, a user account. The processing system further determines, based on the data code of the dialed digits, the product information or other service such as entry of a polling response, vote, or product purchase, that is to be provided. The user account information may then be used to determine a delivery technique, such as electronic mail using an electronic mail address associated with the phone that made the call, SMS/MMS/EMS Text messaging, or WAP push, through which the product information associated with the data code may be forwarded to the requesting user.

InactiveUS20070198744A1Easily and efficiently share both contentEasily and efficiently and editorial inputMultiple digital computer combinationsElectric digital data processingCommunications systemClient-side
A system, method, computer program product, and propagated signal for a real-time concurrent multi-user multi-way collaboration system that is able to incorporate one or more electronic devices including one or more portable devices that permits distributed users to easily and efficiently share both content and editorial input on such content (of course, text messaging is not limited to editorial input on the content). Specifically, a real-time concurrent multi-user multi-way collaboration system, method, and computer program capable of operation providing two or more users to be able to unambiguously collaborate in the rendering of a media resource, such that any user at any time may set a rendering of the media resource to a desired reference on all participating clients. The system for transmitting a media resource and one or more collaboration messages over a communications network includes a plurality of real-time messaging clients coupled to the communications network, with each client of the plurality of clients including: a communications system for receiving the media resource and for receiving the one or more collaboration messages; and a renderizer system for producing a rendering of the media resource in substantial synchronization with other ones of the real-time messaging clients; wherein a particular one of the one or more collaboration messages are transmitted by one of the messaging clients, the one or more collaboration messages including a desired reference of the rendering and each other of the messaging clients substantially synchronizing the rendering of the media resource at the desired reference using the particular one collaboration message.
