  • Publication number: 20160277912
    Abstract: Using wireless features, a public service agency is enabled to provide alert information to first responders. An automatic call back from the first responder triggers a voice call launching a location fix on the current location of the first responder. Preferably delivery confirmation that the responder has received the message is received. Once the location fix has been completed, then driving directions with map images are sent to the first responder based on their current location and desired destination for response.

  • Publication number: 20130061289
    Abstract: A secure messaging interface enables submission of messages to a messaging gateway via secure means over TLS. A destination mobile device(s) is notified of a pending secure message, and holds the secure message until it is retrieved by an authorized mobile device. The messaging gateway also provides push services for sending data to wireless devices. The secure messager enables sending devices to apply security to an individual message. Sending devices may include, e.g., an enterprise administration server; messages routed through an messaging gateway (MGW) portal; an user messaging application; or a user through a handset. The secured messages may include content as available today across any messaging protocol such as text, audio, video, binaries and images.

  • Publication number: 20120226757
    Abstract: A method enabling a mobile/non-mobile device to perform location-based message filtering against a proposed list of message recipients. Identifiers indicating location characteristics are embedded in the body of a message prior to transmission. Following message transmission, location characteristics are identified/extracted from a location filtered message by a location filtering engine. Location characteristics may indicate a geographic location (e.g. address, zip code, etc.), a POI, or a boundary centered at a geographic location/POI. The location filtering engine attains location information for each device referenced in a proposed distribution list. Attained location information for each device is compared against location characteristics extracted from a corresponding location filtered message. A formal distribution list is compiled, containing all devices in the proposed distribution list with location information matching location criteria embedded in the corresponding filtered message.

  • Patent number: 8032166
    Abstract: The present invention provides a ‘411xx’ value added service to wireless users. The disclosed ‘411xx’ service allows a mobile user who may be unfamiliar with their current geographic location to nevertheless obtain quick, accurate, and current information relating to the geographic area, e.g., different services in their current location, stores, libraries, gas stations, etc., via a mobile terminated (MT) short message system (SMS) message. In addition to the traditional ‘4-1-1’ dialed digits, a mobile user would also dial a number (or numbers) representing a feature code for a particular service, e.g., nearby ATMs, or traffic information. Upon receiving a 411xx call, the MSC generates an ORREQ/TCAP trigger based on a translation of the requested service represented by the extra ‘xx’ digits. The 411xx call is terminated on the MSC after an audible whisper notice plays to the caller, e.g., “thank you for calling, your requested information will be sent momentarily”.
