  • Method and system for providing live real-time communication via text between mobile user devices
    Patent number: 10257130
    Abstract: A method and system for providing real-time communication via text between multiple mobile devices is provided. A conversation request is received from a first mobile device. The conversation request is based upon a selection of a second mobile device from a contact list that is stored on the first mobile device. The conversation request is sent from the application server to a push server, receiving a conversation session ID from the second mobile device. The conversation session ID is sent from the application server to the push server if the conversation request is accepted by the second mobile device. A first datagram message is received from the first mobile device. The first datagram message is sent from the application server to the second mobile device. A second datagram message is received from the second mobile device, and the second datagram message is sent from the application server to the first mobile device.
