  • Patent number: 9906487
    Abstract: A messaging proxy system is disclosed for the purpose of delivering data in the form of a portable message format from a producer running on a mobile or non-mobile computer, over any wireless network, by passing this data through an intermediary proxy computer program, to one or more recipients running on mobile or non-mobile computers. The system includes a message proxy computer program with at least one pluggable transport protocol adapter. The proxy contains a command subsystem for sending and receiving command- and message-tokens to and from the mobile clients. The system further includes a thin messaging middleware client to run on mobile devices. The thin messaging middleware client includes at least one pluggable protocol adapter. The client also comprises a command subsystem for sending and receiving command- and message-tokens to and from the proxy The proxy also contains a communication subsystem for sending and receiving messages via a state of the art message oriented middleware.

  • Patent number: 7739391
    Abstract: A method for operating a gateway for wireless mobile clients in a messaging system, the messaging system being configured to comprise a plurality of mobile wireless clients (1, 1?, 1?), a core messaging system (7) and at least one gateway process or gateway (5, 5?, 5?) acting as a proxy on behalf of the clients (1, 1?, 1?), the method comprising the step of the gateway (5, 5?, 5?) storing a session context (11), which session context (11) comprises the status of a session established between the core messaging system (7) and one of the clients (1, 1?, 1?), a state of the client connection associated with the session, and a session identifier which is unique to the session.

  • Patent number: 7489704
    Abstract: A messaging system is disclosed for the purpose of delivering data in the form of a portable message format from a producer of any kind, over any transport protocol, using any delivery guarantee, to one or more recipients of any kind. The method for running said message system includes a message broker with at least one pluggable protocol adapter. It may also comprises at least one pluggable message format adapter and at least one pluggable message content adapter, thus enabling to use a simple unified topic or queue abstraction between the involved communication parties. Specifically, the method includes protocol adapters, message format adapters and message content adapters to wireless networks and devices, as well as message adapters to convert the portable messages between the different formats used in different computer programming languages.
