  • Patent number: 7965682
    Abstract: A system provides push services and information to mobile stations via broadcast messages. The broadcast messages are made on predetermined cell broadcast channels, which are associated with an inbox on the mobile stations. Contained within the messages are Uniform Resource Locators (URL) that, when accessed, provide multimedia and other rich content to the mobile station. The system allows wireless carriers to provide features such as Wireless Access Protocol (WAP) push operations via cell broadcast to many mobile stations in a geographic area without the need to individually address messages to the mobile stations.

  • Publication number: 20090047932
    Abstract: A system for authorizing information services that are provided via broadcast messages to mobile stations. The broadcast messages are encrypted prior to being communicated to devices within a geographic area. The mobile stations are provided with a client application that retrieves cryptographic keys associated with the information services to which a customer is subscribed. When the mobile station receives encrypted broadcast messages, the client application determines if it has the cryptographic key to decrypt the message. If so, the information contained in the message is displayed. If not, then the message is ignored by the mobile station.

  • Patent number: 7444133
    Abstract: A system for providing information services via broadcast messages to mobile stations and other devices. The broadcast messages are encrypted prior to being communicated to devices within a geographic area. A client application retrieves cryptographic keys associated with the information services to which a customer is subscribed. When the mobile station or device receives encrypted broadcast messages, the client application determines if it has the cryptographic key to decrypt the message. If so, the information contained in the message is displayed. If not, then the message is ignored by the mobile station. The information may be used to provide or retrieve near real time information from devices to provide such services as traffic alters, fleet management, etc.
