An apparatus and a method for context-sensitive multimedia message service (MMS) response. The provision of a response to a MMS UA originated MMS message (e.g. requesting to send a multimedia message (MM)) that is context-sensitive allows the network operator/service provider to provide value-added and potentially revenue generating content in the response. The content of the response can be context-sensitive based on one or more context parameters. The context parameters can be based on any of the information elements in the MMS UA originated MMS message, on fields in an associated MM, inputs provided by other external systems (e.g., accounting, presence and location information) and combinations thereof.

Context-sensitive multimedia message service response

A system and method for measuring media distribution and impact in a mobile communication network wherein media content is associated with messages being forwarded in the network. Media content distribution data can be measured and collected by tagging the media content at or near its point of origin and by tracking the tagged media at various points in the network during specific message related events. The collected data is stored and analyzed to determine the effectiveness and impact of media distribution in the mobile communication network.

Measuring media distribution and impact in a mobile communication network

An apparatus and a method for routing a multimedia message sent by a user agent to one of a plurality of multimedia message service centers, the user agent applying a pre-determined determined destination address to the multimedia message. The multimedia message is received at the pre-determined destination address, a target multimedia message service center is selected and the multimedia message is forwarded to the target multimedia message service center. Routing is based on address information contained in the multimedia message, session identification information associated with the multimedia message, load-balancing and fault-tolerance information associated with each one of the plurality of multimedia message service centers, service identifying information contained in the multimedia message and combinations thereof.

Apparatus and method for routing multimedia messages between a user agent and multiple multimedia message service centers

A system for a network operator to manage a message-based application, provided to a subscriber, and an application provider, providing said application, in a communications network connected to a message gateway for relaying and translating messages between the application and the subscriber. The system comprising: a subscription management module for managing publication of the application and subscription to the application by the subscriber; an application management module for managing the availability of the application based on authorization by the network operator and the application provider; and a message handler module for managing relaying, translating and enhancing, with value-added information, of the messages via the message gateway based on information from the subscription management module and the application management module.
