    Inventors: William H. Dudley, Derek Hung Kit Tam, James C. Farrow, Brian Jeffery Beggerly, Kirk Tsai, William Chu, Robert C. Lovell, Jr.
  • System and method for providing configurable, dynamic multimedia message service pre-transcoding
    Patent number: 8037206
    Abstract: 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.
