  • Really simple mail transport protocol
    Patent number: 7103635
    Abstract: A new mail transport protocol is proposed for use over a reliable byte-stream transport. This protocol is faster, simpler and more streaming than prior methods, and handles binary and unicode data more efficiently. The protocol requires fewer communication round trips between servers per message transferred than existing methods. It transmits and receives byte data as is without requiring further per-byte processing on advanced operating systems such as UNIX, and requires only new-line processing in text on legacy operating systems.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method for storing and executing network queries used in interactive voice response systems
    Patent number: 6389398
    Abstract: An IVR system for an information network and method for storing and executing user queries stored on the network so that such queries do not have to be re-entered each time a user wants to access information from or execute a transaction on the network. The system can also be programmed to automatically execute the query at a predetermined time or times, and deliver information retrieved from the network and/or confirmation of the execution of a transaction on the network to the user in a format specified by the user.

  • System for storing message in a wide area network storage controlled by a sender and notifying intended recipients of the availability and the WAN address thereof
    Patent number: 5941946
    Abstract: A method for electronic communication using wide area network (WAN) storage and signalling capabilities. The method and apparatus provides for deposit of a message in message stores in the WAN, storage of the message such that the message is uniformly accessible throughout the WAN and notifying the recipient of the message of the availability and address of the message in the message stores in the WAN so that he can access the message.
