    摘要: The present invention is a messaging system, and method of operation thereof, which provides message recipients with control over the delivery of message and charges the cost of a message to the sender of the message. A message is received at a messaging server from a sender system, the message including an indication of a recipient system. A notification message is transmitted to the recipient system, allowing the message recipient to determine whether they desire the message to be delivered. If so, an activation message is received from the recipient system and the message is transmitted to the recipient system. A charge for the message is assessed to the sender of the message. The message is stored in the messaging server until the activation message is received. At least a portion of the assessed charge may be credited or debited to the recipient of the message. The message may include any type of electronic information, such as text, graphics, video and audio information, and may be encrypted or unencrypted.

    摘要: A messaging system, and method of operation thereof, which supports combinations of directory and mailing list addressing mechanisms. Intended message recipients are specified as declarative addresses, which may include combinations of directory and mailing list information. The messaging system includes a messaging server and an address resolution module. The messaging server receives a message from a sender system and transmits the message to the recipient system. The address resolution module, which is coupled to the messaging server, receives a declarative address associated with the message, resolves the declarative address into at least one messaging address and transmits the at least one messaging address to the messaging server. In one embodiment, a database system may be coupled to the address resolution module to allow address resolution based on information stored in a database. The address resolution module generates a database query based on the declarative address and transmits the generated query to a database system. The database system receives a database query, retrieves at least one messaging address specified by the query and transmits the retrieved at least one messaging address to the address resolution module.

    摘要: A messaging system in which a core messaging infrastructure stores and manages messaging attributes, but applications external to the core infrastructure define and modify most attributes. Attribute types may be easily defined or modified, the manner in which attribute values are obtained may be easily defined or modified, and the entity types to which attributes are assigned may be easily defined or modified. The messaging system includes a plurality of messaging entities, such as messages, folders, and users, a plurality of attributes associated with the messaging entities, and a plurality of applications. Each application is operable to examine and modify at least some of the messaging entities and attributes. An application selection device is operable to examine at least some of the messaging entities and at least some of the attributes and to select an application to be invoked, from among the plurality of applications, based on values of the examined messaging entities and attributes. An application invocation device invokes the selected application. The applications may define and modify a type of an attribute and/or may define and modify an association of an attribute with a messaging entity.

    摘要: A method and system enhance communication capabilities between a message sender and a message recipient. The message sender generates a message notification that identifies to the recipient a recording/playback technique associated with message content. The recipient uses the information in the notification to load the playback technique. The information in the notification can be the code for the playback process or an indirect reference to the code, i.e., identification of the place from which the code can be retrieved.

    摘要: A system for frame peeking at a node of a data network includes a controller, a forwarding engine and an interface. The interface includes a subscribe/publish interface for allowing the controller to request (or subscribe) to receive a selected portion of a flow (a group of packets), and a facility access interface for allowing the controller to control each frame or packet. By providing only a selected portion of received packets to the controller rather than the entire packet, the controller can operate on the incoming data without significantly degrading the forwarding performance of the system. Frame peeking can also be used in an end-system to minimize packet processing.
