Patent number: 9473450Abstract: A technique and apparatus to provide status tracking of presence and/or location of wireless devices to requesting entities inside and/or outside a particular wireless system. Presence and/or location information is provided to entities outside a particular servicing wireless network via mechanisms of call processing components of a mobile network and standard mechanisms available to any appropriately conforming MSC element. In one embodiment, a wireless chat automatic status tracking system utilizes a change in mobile registration status to automatically forward or copy a registration notification (REGNOT) message to an external IP application, to notify a chat group system outside the wireless network of current status information activity regarding a relevant device. Change in mobile registration is communicated via a suitable signaling link between a HLR and the chat group system.Type: GrantFiled: November 4, 2013Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: Telecommunication Systems, Inc.Inventors: Dara Ung, Mark Titus, Johanna Wilson

Publication number: 20140256368Abstract: A mobile device-to-HTTP protocol gateway (MHG, or “MO Gateway”) which translates between Wireless Mobile Originated commands from an SMSC, and an application server on the Internet (i.e., a “web IP Server”). A wireless Internet gateway establishes communications with one or more relevant SMSCs using standard format SMPP commands, and the MHG utilizes HTTP protocol POST messages to post short messages originated at the mobile device to a particular URL. Return results are received by the MHG via HTTP protocol messages, translated to SMPP messages, and forwarded back to the SMSC for delivery to the mobile device. The wireless Internet Gateway communicates with the MHG using RMI protocol commands. An MHG in accordance with the principles of the present invention enables a developer to create mobile applications using standard web development tools, e.g., Java Servlets.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2014Publication date: September 11, 2014Applicant: Patent Monetization Associates, L.P.Inventors: Richard A.

Publication number: 20100029312Abstract: Internet Relay Chat is provided for mobile devices utilizing a mobile chat proxy server. The server exchanges message objects with a wireless Internet gateway using an IRC protocol. The server maintains a real-time proxy connection to a conventional IRC server for each mobile device. The proxy server interprets messages and determines whether to forward them to the conventional IRC server. The proxy server utilizes an RMI interface between the mobile chat proxy server and the wireless Internet gateway for sending messages to chat group participants. The proxy server also provides such enhancements as notification and/or summons commands, and allows mobile users to chat simultaneously. An SMSC forwards messages to the mobile chat proxy server and proxy server configures and validates users. After validating a mobile user, the mobile chat proxy server forwards IRC traffic from the mobile device to the conventional IRC server.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2009Publication date: February 4, 2010Inventors: Richard A.
