Patent number: 10257671Abstract: A system and method for sending text messages and, more particularly, a system and method for forcing SMS capable devices to communicate via SMS using, for example, SS7 protocol. A method includes providing a tag forcing a return text message to be sent via SS7 protocol. In use, the system and method is configured to force the use of SMS messages via the SS7 protocol. The system and method can be implemented over any network, for example, and any existing mobile device and related infrastructure can be modified to take advantage of the benefits and functionality of the system and method of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mark D. Dennard, John R. Dingler, Eythan C. Holladay, Jessica E. Marceau, Matthew B. Trevathan

Patent number: 8176129Abstract: A system and method for sending compressed html messages and, more particularly, a system and method for sending compressed html messages over a telephony protocol, the method comprises compressing an html message and sending the compressed html message via a telephony protocol. The compressed html message is sent as an SMS message and the telephony protocol is SS7 protocol, bypassing TCP/IP. The compressed html message can be coded with a return number, forcing a return message to be sent via a text message over SS7 protocol. The system and method includes a computer infrastructure operable to compress an html message and send the compressed html message such as and SMS message via a telephony protocol. A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having readable program code embodied in the medium for performing the processes is also contemplated.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2007Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Mark D.
