Patents by Inventor Michael Dewey

Michael Dewey has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20150087344
    Abstract: A message distribution center (MDC) and Intelligent Delivery Agent in a wireless Internet gateway interposed between content providers and a wireless carrier to subjectively examine and direct messages via simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) based on desired rules using standard SMTP Gateway and other known protocols. The MDC includes an individual queue for each subscriber, and the provider is informed through conventional SMTP messages that the short message has been accepted. If the carrier has specifically disallowed service for a particular mobile identification number (MIN), then the content provider is informed that the recipient is invalid. An MDC provides a single mechanism for interacting with subscribers of multiple carriers, regardless of each carrier's underlying infrastructure. An MDC protects networks by intelligently throttling messages and configuring message delivery parameters. An MDC receives presence information.

  • Publication number: 20140348151
    Abstract: A message distribution center (MDC) and Intelligent Delivery Agent are implemented in a wireless Internet gateway interposed between content providers and a wireless carrier to subjectively examine and direct messages via SMTP based on desired rules (e.g., non-peak hours, paying subscribers only, etc.) using standard SMTP Gateway and other well-known protocols. The MDC includes an individual queue for each subscriber, and the provider is informed through conventional SMTP protocol messages that the short message has been accepted. If the carrier has specifically disallowed service for a particular MIN (e.g., in the case of churning), then the content provider is informed through an SMTP interchange that the recipient is invalid. An MDC provides a single mechanism for interacting with subscribers of multiple carriers, regardless of each carrier's underlying infrastructure.

  • Publication number: 20130035123
    Abstract: A message distribution center (MDC) interposed between content providers and a wireless carrier to examine and direct messages via SMTP based on desired rules (e.g., non-peak hours, etc.) using standard SMTP Gateway and other well-known protocols. The MDC includes a queue for each subscriber, and the provider is informed through conventional SMTP protocol messages when a short message is accepted. If the carrier disallows service for an MIN, the content provider is informed the recipient is invalid through an SMTP interchange. An MDC provides a single mechanism for interacting with subscribers of multiple carriers, regardless of underlying infrastructure. An MDC can protect a carrier's SS7 network by throttling messages and configuring message delivery parameters to be more network friendly. An MDC can receive outside a relevant wireless network recipient. A content provider communicates with the MDC using SMTP protocol messages, and the MDC communicates with wireless carriers using RMI/SMPP techniques.
