摘要: A prepaid messaging solution using open networking standards (e.g., TCP/IP) to support pre-payment of Internet messaging services. The disclosed prepaid architectures/methods determine if a subscriber has sufficient account balance to deliver a short message, prior to message delivery. A message may be prevented from being delivered (at the source end or destination end) if a subscriber account has insufficient funds. A prepaid tariff engine supports remote interaction with the SMSC and web chat servers to apply real-time billing for each message. A service provider may define subscriber rates and/or tariffing plans to apply real-time billing for sending/receiving messages. Message billing may be based upon, e.g., rate per message, message count, character count, Time of Day, Day of Week, message type, and/or mobile location. The prepaid short messaging service preferably supports internet access to subscriber's account balances and status maintained in the prepaid short messaging database of the prepaid messaging server.
摘要翻译: 一种使用开放网络标准(例如TCP / IP)来支持互联网消息传递服务的预付费的预付费消息解决方案。 所披露的预付费架构/方法确定在消息传送之前订户是否具有足够的帐户余额来递送短消息。 如果订户帐户资金不足,可能会阻止一个消息的传递(源端或目的地端)。 预付费率引擎支持与SMSC和Web聊天服务器的远程交互,以对每个消息应用实时计费。 服务提供商可以定义用户速率和/或费率计划以对发送/接收消息应用实时计费。 消息计费可以基于例如每个消息的速率,消息计数,字符数,时间,星期几,消息类型和/或移动位置。 预付费短消息服务优选地支持对预付费消息服务器的预付费短消息数据库中维护的用户帐户余额和状态的因特网访问。

摘要: Two-way interactive short message system with personalized messaging menus that provide WAP like services at less cost than CSD. Mobile Originated Interactive Menus are implemented as a feature of a Short Message Service Center (SMSC). Each option guides either to the next menu level, or to a final action to be executed according to the path followed by the subscriber. Importantly, the mobile originated interactive menus use SMS communications instead of circuit switched data (CSD) (e.g., instead of WAP communications), thus leaving traffic channels available for voice calls. Users may define the content and frequency they want. Replacement of messages in TDMA and GSM mobile devices allow for heavy usage without filling up the user's phone buffer, i.e., prior messages may be overwritten, to assure that only the latest information is all that is being displayed and read.
摘要翻译: 双向交互式短信系统,具有个性化消息菜单,可以以比CSD低的成本提供像WAP一样的服务。 移动发起的交互式菜单被实现为短消息服务中心(SMSC)的功能。 每个选项可以指导下一个菜单级别,或者根据用户所遵循的路径执行最终的操作。 重要的是,移动发起的交互式菜单使用SMS通信而不是电路交换数据(CSD)(例如,而不是WAP通信),从而使业务信道可用于语音呼叫。 用户可以定义他们想要的内容和频率。 TDMA和GSM移动设备中的消息的替换允许大量使用而不填充用户的电话缓冲器,即可以覆盖先前的消息,以确保只有最新信息全部被显示和读取。

摘要: A vehicle includes a telematics controller and a single short range, low power interior transmitter focused substantially only on a vehicle's driver's seat only. Synergistic interaction is provided between a vehicle's telematics controller and a wireless device used by the driver (e.g. a cell phone, smart phone, PDA, wireless laptop, etc.) to parametrically control at least one wireless service or other operation of a wireless device presumed operated by the driver of the vehicle. Example wireless services blocked or forced into a safe mode (such as hands-free operation) include SMS, Email, and Voice services.

摘要: A prepaid messaging solution which uses open networking standards (e.g., TCP/IP) and which supports pre-payment of enhanced Internet messaging services. The disclosed prepaid architectures and methods accurately determine if a subscriber has sufficient account balance to deliver a complete short message, prior to delivery of the message. The short message may be prevented from being delivered (either at the source end or at the destination end) if insufficient funds are in the subscriber's account. A prepaid tariff engine is preferably extensible over a TCP/IP network, and supports remote interaction with the SMSC and web chat servers for the purpose of applying a real-time billing charge for each message. A service provider may create subscriber classes of service that define and uniquely identify subscriber rate and/or tariffing plans used to apply real-time billing charges for sending or receiving of messages. The prepaid short message tariff engine determines the appropriate message billing based upon, e.g., flat rate per message, message count (e.g., 10 messages @ $5.00), character count (e.g., $0.01/char.), Time of Day, Day of Week (i.e., peak & non-peak hours), type of message, and/or mobile location (i.e., network point code). The prepaid short messaging service preferably supports Internet web page access to subscriber's relating to their short messaging account balances and status maintained in the prepaid short messaging database of the prepaid messaging server.

摘要: A method and apparatus for providing 2-way interactive short message system menus to a mobile device using text-based short messaging rather than WAP techniques. This provides the ability to provide WAP like services at a fraction of the cost of CSD. Mobile Originated Interactive Menus are implemented as a feature of a Short Message Service Center (SMSC). Each option guides either to the next menu level, or to a final action to be executed according to the path followed by the subscriber. Importantly, the mobile originated interactive menus use SMS communications instead of circuit switched data (CSD) (e.g., instead of WAP communications), thus leaving traffic channels available for voice calls. Interactive SMS menus allow service providers to offer their subscribers personalized messaging menus with multiple options for quick and easy access to Web-based content. Users may define the content and frequency they want, whether it is a scheduled delivery or on-demand. The interactive SMS menu options offer customers a simple-to-use technique and apparatus for checking, e.g., stock quotes, local weather, and/or other Web-based news and information when they want it. The interactive nature of the service allows the wireless network to poll the user for their next response, with multiple menued options offered, making it highly intuitive. Replacement of messages in TDMA and GSM mobile devices allow for heavy usage without filling up the user's phone buffer, i.e., prior messages may be overwritten, to assure that only the latest information is all that is being displayed and read. The flexibility of Interactive SMS Menus can allow service providers to define their own base offering of menus, depending upon their targeted customer segments.

摘要: A prepaid messaging solution which uses open networking standards (e.g., TCP/IP) and which supports pre-payment of enhanced Internet messaging services. The disclosed prepaid architectures and methods accurately determine if a subscriber has sufficient account balance to deliver a complete short message, prior to delivery of the message. The short message may be prevented from being delivered (either at the source end or at the destination end) if insufficient funds are in the subscriber's account. A prepaid tariff engine is preferably extensible over a TCP/IP network, and supports remote interaction with the SMSC and web chat servers for the purpose of applying a real-time billing charge for each message. A service provider may create subscriber classes of service that define and uniquely identify subscriber rate and/or tariffing plans used to apply real-time billing charges for sending or receiving of messages. The prepaid short message tariff engine determines the appropriate message billing based upon, e.g., flat rate per message, message count (e.g., 10 messages @ $5.00), character count (e.g., $0.01/char.), Time of Day, Day of Week (i.e., peak & non-peak hours), type of message, and/or mobile location (i.e., network point code). The prepaid short messaging service preferably supports Internet web page access to subscriber's relating to their short messaging account balances and status maintained in the prepaid short messaging database of the prepaid messaging server.
摘要翻译: 一种使用开放网络标准(例如TCP / IP)并且支持增强型互联网消息传递服务的预付费的预付费消息解决方案。 所披露的预付费架构和方法在交付消息之前准确地确定订户是否具有足够的帐户余额来递送完整的短消息。 如果订户的帐户中没有足够的资金,则可以防止短消息被传送(源端或目的地端)。 预付费率引擎优选通过TCP / IP网络是可扩展的,并且支持与SMSC和网络聊天服务器的远程交互,以便为每个消息应用实时计费费用。 服务提供商可以创建用户等级的服务,其定义并唯一地标识用于应用实时计费费用以发送或接收消息的用户速率和/或费率计划。 预付短信费率引擎基于例如每消息的统一费率,消息计数(例如,10个消息@ $ 5.00),字符数(例如,0.01美元/个字符),一天中的一天,星期几来确定适当的消息计费 (即峰值和非高峰时段),消息类型和/或移动位置(即网络点代码)。 预付费短消息服务优选地支持对与短消息账户余额有关的用户的因特网网页访问以及在预付费消息服务器的预付费短消息数据库中维护的状态。
