Abstract: A method and system is provided for evaluating an application manufacturer's credibility to produce or maintain a mobile device application. The method includes gathering information about an application manufacturer, wherein the information includes at least one of: (i) publicly available information about the manufacture; (ii) private information provided by the manufacturer; and (iii) source code information for the application developed by the manufacturer. With the computer system, the gathered information is stored in a manufacturer profile, which includes a plurality of attributes of the manufacturer. The computer system uses the manufacturer profile to calculate a score for the manufacturer, which is then used to calculate an application risk score associated with applications produced or maintained by the manufacturer. The risk score reflects, at least in part, the credibility of the manufacturer to produce or maintain the mobile device application.

Abstract: A system tracks and archives communications between a mobile device and a telephone (which could be another mobile device) or an enterprise application software module. A gateway receives communications from and sends communications to a mobile software application installed on a mobile device. Communications can include text, multimedia voice and/or video information. When the mobile software application or enterprise application software module directs a communication to the telephone, the gateway determines whether to send the communication to the telephone via a copy of the mobile software application on the telephone or via a PBX system or a virtual number. Furthermore, the gateway sends a copy of the communication to an archiving system. To process the communication for archiving, the gateway can reformat the communication, create metadata associated with it, associate tags with it, encrypt it, compress it and/or transmit it.

Abstract: A system for use by prospective real estate customers includes a mobile software module that has been downloaded to the user's mobile device via at least one of a mobile phone network and the Internet. A server module is associated with a website that includes one or more secure pages for receiving input from the user to perform entering, displaying, updating, requesting, filtering and sorting of information. The mobile software module receives updated information from the server module through the Internet and synchronizes the information with the mobile device. The mobile software module also enables the user to: request real estate information from the server module for properties in a neighborhood determined from a location based service, a zip code or an address; and receive from the server module real estate information in response to the request.

Abstract: A system and method having a first software module of a server recorded on a computer-readable medium programmed to receive a request for information from a user. The user sends a text message to a short code, where the information depends on a generic assigned identification associated with real estate information, automobile information, and/or personal property information. The server communicated with a third party server to obtain the real estate information, automobile information, and/or personal property information requested by the user. The server sends the real estate information, automobile information, and/or personal property information to a mobile phone of the user through a mobile phone network.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for tracking messages communicated using mobile devices. A message received at a server is originated at a first mobile device and is sent by the first mobile device to a virtual number associated with a software module configured to nm as an application on a second mobile device having a phone number. At the server, it is determined that the virtual number is associated with the software module on the second mobile device. With the server, the message is sent to the software module on the second mobile device, and at the server, the message is logged. The virtual number can comprise a long code. The message can be a short messaging service (SMS) message, a voice communication or an email.

Abstract: Information or items that otherwise might be carried in a person's wallet or purse may be managed and stored on a mobile phone. Embodiments include a software application loaded on a mobile phone and an Internet website through which certain information can be transmitted to the phone by the user, third parties, or both. A user may be alerted to certain information or changes in information that meet certain criteria. The website may provide secure storage for information, filter information, and send encrypted and compressed nuggets or fractions of information to the phone for storage based on topic. E-mails may be searched for information, information may be sent to different parties, and signals may be sent locally to exchange information. Personal information may include account information or travel information, for example.

Abstract: A system for establishing a registration for secure communication between a mobile device and a server includes a server configured to: determine the phone number of the mobile device from which the SMS or MMS message is originated; and verify the phone number of the mobile device originating the SMS or MMS message against a whitelist to authorize a registration between the mobile device and the server. The server can establish an encryption key between the mobile device and the server, which can used to provide or enhance encryption of a voice communication, such as a VoIP communication, made using the mobile device. The server can renew the encryption key based on one or more policies determined by an administrator. The server can be configured to verify a secure identification code that is input at the mobile device and which can be provided to a user of the mobile device before the mobile device is registered with the server.
