A method of sending alerts from servers to client devices is provided. The alert can be generated with a server application and may include customer information. The alert may then be sent to a message router. The message router receives a station ID of the client device based on the customer information. A communication type of the client device can be determined based on the station ID and one or more of a plurality of protocol gateways can be selected based on the communication type. The alert can be forwarded to the selected one or more of the plurality of protocol gateways where it may be formatted for the selected client device. The formatted alert may then be forwarded via the network to the selected client device.

System and method for servers to send alerts to connectionless devices

A method and system for deploying content to devices is provided. The method and system can be used to deploy markup content to web browser applications on wireless devices. The wireless devices may included, for example, WAP phones, HDML phones, Palm VII, Palm V, etc. The method and system can also be used in conjunction with wired systems. A translator receives data, in a variety of formats, from the wireless devices. The translator then translates the data into a standardized format. A content provider interface receives the data in the standardized format and provides content data, also in the standardized format. The content data in the standardized format is provided to a transformer. The transformer transforms the content data into the pre-selected format for the particular wireless device. The content data can then be utilized and manipulated by the wireless device.

Method and system for deploying content to wireless devices

An intelligent messaging network provides multiple software development kits (SDKs) to assist, e.g., engineers in developing client and server applications. The SDKs can contain a consistent set of application program interfaces (APIs) and a set of platform specific libraries for all intelligent messaging network supported platforms and networks. In addition to the SDKs, the intelligent messaging network can provide developers a resource kit including a set of tools to assist the developers when designing, implementing, and testing their client and server applications. The intelligent messaging network can provide a mobile client and server SDK environment to assist engineers developing client applications and servers. The SDKs can provide an easy to use APIs and a set of platform specific libraries to perform, e.g., compression, network management services, server-to-server communication, server registration/de-registration, and reliable message transport services.

System and method for developing applications in wireless and wireline environments

A method of sending alerts from servers to client devices is provided. The alert can be generated with a server application and may include customer information. The alert may then be sent to a message router. The message router retrieves a station ID of the client device based on the customer information. A communication type of the client device can be determined based on the station ID and one or more of a plurality of protocol gateways can be selected based on the communication type. The alert can be forwarded to the selected one or more of the plurality of protocol gateways where is may be formatted for the selected client device. The formatted alert may then be forwarded via the network to the selected client device.

Intelligent messaging network server interconnection

A messaging system, method, and computer program product is disclosed, including a client device having stored therein a client application, which is adapted to be executed by the client device, a server having stored therein a server application, which is adapted to be executed by the server, a plurality of wireless networks, each of which is adapted to communicate messages between the client device and the server, and support one or more wireless network protocols, a protocol gateway encapsulating a fundamental network protocol, which underlies each of the one or more wireless network protocols, means for communicating a message between the client application and the server application, over a selected wireless network protocol through the protocol gateway, independent of the selected wireless network protocol, and a message router for routing the message between the protocol gateway and the server, the message router including means for authenticating an origin of the message, wherein the authenticating means authenticates the origin before the message is routed by the message router, and a database, which is accessible by the message router and adapted to store information relating to routing and authentication of the message. Moreover, the present invention features methods of communicating such messages over wireless networks efficiently, without requiring significant bandwidth, a valuable resource in wireless networks.

Routing messages in a client server environment over multiple networks

A messaging system, method, and computer program product includes a client device having stored therein a client application, which is adapted to be executed by the client device, a server having stored therein a server application, which is adapted to be executed by the server, a plurality of wireless networks, each of which is adapted to: communicate messages between the client device and the server; and support one or more wireless network protocols, and a protocol gateway encapsulating a fundamental network protocol. The fundamental network protocol underlies each of the one or more wireless network protocols and includes a protocol stack that corresponds substantially to an Open System Interconnection (OSI) model and incorporates a simple network transport layer (SNTL). In such a manner, the invention further includes means for communicating a message between the client application and the server application, over a selected wireless network protocol through the protocol gateway, independent of the selected wireless network protocol. Moreover, the present invention features methods of communicating such messages over wireless networks efficiently, without requiring significant bandwidth, a valuable resource in wireless networks.

Open system interconnection (OSI) messaging

A system, method, and computer program product for providing discovery services for servers during a startup sequence can include powering on a server in a domain; creating a listener socket for the server to accept coupling requests from other servers; registering server information for the server with a database; searching the database for other registered servers in the domain; establishing a couple to each of the other registered servers in the domain; and verifying validity of the couple to each of the other registered servers including performing a handshake. The server information registered with the database can include an IP address; a listener port; a domain; a version number; or a server type. Establishing can include: sending a couple message from a coupling server of the other registered servers; receiving the couple message by another server of the other registered servers; verifying a version number of the couple message; verifying that the couple message sent and received is a valid couple message; replying with a reply message to the couple message; or verifying that the reply message contains a valid version number and server type. Alternatively, establishing can further include closing the couple if the version numbers are not valid; closing the couple if the server type is not valid; or closing the couple if the reply message is not received within a predetermined amount of time. The method can also include registering a server identifier (ID), a service type, or a message type supported by the server. The server can be a back end server (BES); a proxy gateway (PG); a message router (MR); or an HTTP Proxy BES.
