Patent number: 7890084Abstract: A disclosed enterprise instant messaging (IM) service aggregator enables validation of mobile stations and/or users for enterprise IM service through a wireless communication network; and in the examples, the enterprise IM service provides a secure messaging environment that allows IM traffic to/from wireless mobile stations. The security offered may be unique to and controlled by each enterprise, for example, by enabling each enterprise to generate its own encryption key for distribution through the aggregator and by allowing mobile stations to generate their own keys for distribution back through the aggregator to the enterprise IM servers. As disclosed, the login credentials are encrypted from the mobile station to the enterprise IM server. The use of standard encryption methods within the call flows allows a simple method of ensuring that only authorized users can access the enterprise servers and that the messages will be encrypted by the strongest possible means.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2006Date of Patent: February 15, 2011Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Thaddeus Jude Dudziak, Biren Patel, Jerry Kupsh

Patent number: 7353035Abstract: A method and system for selectively displaying an origination address of a mobile message, e.g., an SMS message, includes the steps of: (1) determining that a mobile message includes an origination address that should not be displayed on a recipient device; and (2) including data in the mobile message to cause the origination address not to be displayed on the recipient device. The origination address which is selectively prevented from being displayed is one which is not provided by the prime, i.e., true originating sender of the mobile message. A call-back number may be similarly selectively displayed. The system and method provide a way to address recipient confusion that may arise from the display of origination information that is meaningless or otherwise incomprehensible to message recipients.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2002Date of Patent: April 1, 2008Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Jerry Kupsh, Syed Haider

Patent number: 7149537Abstract: A system and method for providing a user-accessible Internet-based mobile messaging log that records messages communicated between an Internet-based sending device and an SMS-capable mobile device. An SMS messaging log is created for each Internet-based user that sends messages to SMS-capable mobile devices. The mobile user is then able to access their SMS messaging log via the Internet and view the SMS messages sent to the SMS-capable device. The message log also records and displays replies sent by the SMS-based user in response to the sent message. The system and method utilize a unique tracking identification number to match original messages to replies in the mobile messaging log.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2002Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Jerry Kupsh, Kevin Lim

Publication number: 20050239442Abstract: A method and system for handling wireless messaging errors is provided. When an error occurs during the attempted retrieval of a message, it is classified as temporal or permanent. In the event of a permanent error the message is abandoned. In the event of a temporal error, the message is placed in a waiting state. A first retry is attempted after a first waiting period has elapsed. If the first retry is unsuccessful, subsequent retries are attempted thereafter, wherein each retry attempt is attempted after a corresponding period of time has passed since the previous retry attempt. If at any time a message is successfully sent or received, an opportunity retry is attempted for each pending message without waiting the required waiting period, provided that the mobile phone is available.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2004Publication date: October 27, 2005Applicant: Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon WirelessInventors: Xuming Chen, Jerry Kupsh, David D'Englere
