Patent number: 8275098Abstract: Architecture and methods to provide an intermediary model for inter-carrier Multi-Media Messaging (MMS) services so that numerous wireless operators can transmit MMS messages between them. The architecture also provides for delivery, at least of notification messages, to those wireless operators who are not part of the overall inter-carrier MMS infrastructure.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2008Date of Patent: September 25, 2012Assignee: Sybase 365, Inc.Inventors: William H.

Patent number: 8126980Abstract: A method for detecting an undesirable condition within a messaging network. A message is received and a source of the message is identified. If an entry in a database for the source has not been created, an entry is created. A source counter for the source is then set to one and a timestamp is created for the source. If an entry in the database for the source has been previously created, the source counter is incremented by one and the timestamp is updated. The source counter is then compared to a source threshold, and if the source counter exceeds the source threshold over the course of predetermined amount of time, a source alarm is triggered. A sliding with respect to the predetermined amount of time may also be implemented to account for total counts that may fall across or be split by set periods of time. The invention is particularly useful for detecting “spam” events and undesirable routing loops.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2010Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Sybase 365, Inc.Inventors: Thilo Rusche, Derek Hung Kit Tam, Robert C. Lovell, Jr.

Patent number: 8037206Abstract: System and methods for providing multimedia message service (MMS) interoperability between an initiating carrier and a destination carrier. A transcoding facility receives an MMS message from an initiating carrier and accesses a number portability database to determine an identity of a destination carrier to which the MMS message is intended to be sent and a carrier profile repository to obtain a carrier profile for the destination carrier, the carrier profile including information regarding an MMS format acceptable to the destination carrier.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2009Date of Patent: October 11, 2011Assignee: Sybase 365, Inc.Inventors: Derek Hung Kit Tam, James C.

Patent number: 7656885Abstract: A system for enabling exchange of content over a communications network is disclosed having a first category of users comprising wireless carriers and a second category of users comprising content providers. A content gateway platform is provided having a database for storage of content. The content providers supply content to the database for use by the wireless carriers and the content is ultimately offered to end-user customers of the wireless carriers.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2004Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: Sybase 365, Inc.Inventors: Derek Hung Kit Tam, Thilo Rusche, Connor C.

Patent number: 7640211Abstract: System and method for providing augmented billing services. Where a billing system cannot keep pace with new services being marketed and the specialized pricing associated with such new services, a system and method are provided that generate a billing augmentation messages that are sent to the billing entity and that cause an incremental increase of a bill for the handling of a particular message type. The incremental increase is equivalent to a charge that the billing system is already configured to bill. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the message is an electronic message such as an SMS message and the billing augmentation messages are generated by and sent from an intercarrier vendor.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2004Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Sybase 365, Inc.Inventors: Derek Hung Kit Tam, Robert C.

Patent number: 7483707Abstract: A method and system for providing a universal voting card (UVC) is disclosed. Generic votes stored in association with a UVC may be used at any time in any combination against voting campaigns that span, e.g., wireless carrier networks, television networks and television shows. A generic vote is issued by a UVC holder through the dispatch of an SMS message to a destination address (USC, toll-free TN, etc.). Each time that a generic vote is issued by a UVC holder the ‘number of votes remaining’ on the UVC is decremented; when the ‘number of votes remaining’ on the UVC reaches zero then the UVC is no longer usable.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2004Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Sybase 365, Inc.Inventors: Derek Hung Kit Tam, Mark R.

Publication number: 20060123322Abstract: Write check bits are generated in a predictive manner for partial-word write transactions in a memory system implementing error code correction. A read data word and associated read check bits are read from an address of the memory. If an error exists in a byte of the read data word, this byte is identified. At the same time, one or more bytes of the uncorrected read data word are merged with one or more bytes of a write data word, thereby creating a merged data word. Write check bits are generated in response to the merged data word. If the merged data word includes a byte of the read data word, which contains an error, the write check bits are modified to reflect this error. The merged data word and the modified (or unmodified) write check bits are then written to the address of the memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2004Publication date: June 8, 2006Applicant: Monolithic System Technology, Inc.Inventors: Wingyu Leung, Kit Tam
