Patent number: 7881735Abstract: An application on a server submits the message to a gateway (1) (which it sees as a service centre). The gateway performs interaction with external applications on servers such as charging and then instead of storing transaction related information associated with this message, it packages the transaction information along with the message as inter-working data. The gateway then forwards the message including the inter-working data to the service center, while requesting a delivery receipt. The service centre may generate a message-id for this transaction, but no data relating to the transaction now needs to be stored by the gateway. The gateway (1) then informs the application that it has successfully stored the message for delivery. When the message reaches a complete state in the service centre the service centre (25) sends the gateway (1) a delivery receipt including the service centre generated message-id and the inter-working data.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2005Date of Patent: February 1, 2011Assignee: Markport LimitedInventors: James Greenwood, Simon Dumbleton
