  • Publication number: 20180041633
    Abstract: A system and method for handling mobile or text messages that include an original uniform resource locator (“URL”) replace the original uniform resource locator (“URL”) included in a body of the mobile message with a new replacement URL. Mobile messages may be sent to a mobile subscriber from a variety of sources, including other mobile subscribers both in and out of a carrier network, or from sources (e.g., a computer, etc.) outside of the carrier network. According to various implementations of the invention, when the mobile message is received by the carrier network (e.g., at a gateway to the carrier network or within the carrier network itself) the mobile message is scanned for a URL. If a URL is included in the mobile message, a replacement URL is generated and the original URL from the mobile message is replaced with the replacement URL. The original URL is stored and associated with the replacement URL for subsequent access and retrieval.

  • Publication number: 20140006517
    Abstract: The invention pertains to systems and method for social invitation to facilitate playing and interaction of a mobile application or mobile game on a mobile device without logging into a 3rd party social networking site. A social invitation system is provided for one or more mobile devices in communication with a remote Application Growth Engine (AGE) server, via a communication network. The AGE server is provided with an AGE algorithm to create social graph associations based on address book contacts captured from an address book resident on the mobile device, and in response to a request for social invitations from the mobile device, to generate a list of recommended invitations of target users based on user social graph associations so that a user at the mobile device can invite friends, family, and colleagues from the address book to download the mobile app/game in order to facilitate playing and interaction of the mobile application or mobile game on the user's mobile device.

  • Publication number: 20110035386
    Abstract: Various implementations of the disclosure relate to social dynamic ratings for contacts stored at a mobile device. For example, a mobile device may be configured to communicate to a server rating information for the contacts. The rating information may include a frequency of access of a contact by the user at the mobile device and/or explicit ratings provided by the user. The server may use the rating information to generate a social dynamic rating for an entity associated with the contact. The server may communicate the social dynamic rating to the mobile device. The mobile device may display the social dynamic rating whenever the contact is displayed at the mobile device or whenever the user accesses a user interface remote from the mobile device configured to display the contact and/or an entity associated with the contact.
