摘要:
An intermediary infrastructure that facilitates the interconnection of multiple IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) networks. The interconnections may span one or more of the IMS logical planes Services Plane, Control Plane, and Network or Transport Plane. The intermediary offers among other things a process, routing, and switching complex that is able to among other things process incoming messages including using a comprehensive routing repository to complete message routing operations.

A service that augments a key element of Unified Messaging and Unified Communications initiatives—i.e., Mobile Subscriber Location Awareness—to enhance substantially the value, usefulness, etc. of the presence awareness, place shifting, etc. components of such initiatives. The service may optionally leverage the capabilities of a centrally-located, full-featured Messaging Inter-Carrier Vendor.

As Mobile Subscribers increasingly employ their Wireless Devices to perform an ever expanding array activities an element that may reside in various portions of a messaging infrastructure and which efficiently and flexibly supports enhanced message address resolution capabilities.
摘要:
As Mobile Subscribers increasingly employ their Wireless Devices to access an ever expanding universe of content—anything including but not limited to for example WWW pages, JavaScript, ActiveX, static images, audio, video, streaming audio/video, data, software applications, etc.—an infrastructure that supports seamless access to content by addressing a range of challenges that arise during such interactions including, for example, the proper identification of content, the timely retrieval of content from a variety of sources, the processing and persistence of content, the delivery of content, etc. The infrastructure may optionally leverage the capabilities of a centrally-located Messaging Inter-Carrier Vendor.

System and method for providing augmented billing services. Where a billing system cannot keep pace with new services being marketed and the specialized pricing associated with such new services, a system and method are provided that generate a billing augmentation messages that are sent to the billing entity and that cause an incremental increase of a bill for the handling of a particular message type. The incremental increase is equivalent to a charge that the billing system is already configured to bill. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the message is an electronic message such as an SMS message and the billing augmentation messages are generated by and sent from an intercarrier vendor.

System and methods for providing multimedia message service (MMS) interoperability between an initiating carrier and a destination carrier. A transcoding facility receives an MMS message from an initiating carrier and accesses a number portability database to determine an identity of a destination carrier to which the MMS message is intended to be sent and a carrier profile repository to obtain a carrier profile for the destination carrier, the carrier profile including information regarding an MMS format acceptable to the destination carrier. The transcoding facility determines, based on the carrier profile and a format of the MMS message received from the initiating carrier, whether the format of the MMS message received from the initiating carrier must be modified to be effectively received by the destination carrier and, if so, transcodes the MMS message in accordance with the carrier profile to generate a transcoded MMS message, and thereafter sends one of (i) the MMS message received from the initiating carrier and (ii) the transcoded MMS message to the destination carrier.

The invention concerns a remote electronic payment system comprising an authentication device (300) with an authenticating server in a remote payment system, the authentication being performed prior to a transaction carried out by a user. The device (300) is characterised in that it comprises: means (310) for receiving a first authentication request, from the authenticating server; means (330) for verifying the validity of the authentication request; means (350) for validation, by the user, of the transaction; means (370) for controlling said user's identity; and means (380) for sending a return message of authentication, to the authenticating server (900).
摘要:
As individuals increasingly engage in different types of transactions they face a growing threat from, possibly among other things, identity theft, financial fraud, information misuse, etc. and the serious consequences or repercussions of same. Leveraging the ubiquitous nature of wireless devices and the popularity of (SMS, MMS, etc.) messaging, an infrastructure that enhances the security of the different types of transactions within which a wireless device user may participate. The infrastructure may optionally leverage the capabilities of a centrally-located Messaging Inter-Carrier Vendor.
