Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for efficient peer-to-peer communication support in interconnect fabrics. Network interfaces associated with agents are implemented to facilitate peer-to-peer transactions between agents in a manner that ensures data accesses correspond to the most recent update for each agent. This is implemented, in part, via use of non-posted "dummy writes" that are sent from an agent when the destination between write transactions originating from the agent changes. The dummy writes ensure that data corresponding to previous writes reach their destination prior to subsequent write and read transactions, thus ordering the peer-to-peer transactions without requiring the use of a centralized transaction ordering entity.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a messaging priority system that allows for a rich-media digital message sent over an electronic media to an intended recipient to be prioritized over several levels. Each level corresponds to a time limit. If the message does not reach or is not viewed by the intended recipient within the selected level's time limit, a notification is sent to the sender informing that the message was not viewed within the time limit. The rich-media digital message includes text, images, video and audio all sent over electronic media including email, text, instant message, and the like. The notification back to the sender that the message was unread in the allotted time is a dual notification that includes both text and audio.
Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for managing and delivering status notifications relating to messages transmitted between communication devices. Each communication device is provided with a status agent for detecting transmission of messages to a recipient device and receipt of messages from a sending device. Upon transmission, the status agent notifies a status service of the outbound message. Upon receipt of a message or upon the message being marked read once received, the status agent notifies the status service that the received message has been received or read accordingly. The status service then notifies the status agent of the sending device that the message has been received or read, so that the sending device's status agent can notify a corresponding messaging application. The status service operates to reconcile outbound message notification and received or read status updates for messages sent using a number of different applications or formats.
Abstract:
Method and device for electronic service of certified electronic messages solves technical problem of assuring sender of the message that it can obtain the message sent receipt and provides protection that will prohibit receiving party reading of the message content without confirming electronic message received receipt at the same time with as minimum change in existing infrastructure of the sending and receiving party as possible. The proposed solution protects anonymity of the sender, privacy of the message content and introduces method for per service payment. Because of the proposed method for message sending the sender does not need additional capacities for ciphering or electronic signing of messages. The system is based on at least one device that comprises of at least central processing unit with accompanying circuitry for operation of the central processing unit and its communication with other parts of the device, power supply unit, temporary memory for reading and writing, controller, network adapter, permanent memory for reading and writing and on/off button.
Abstract:
In order to ameliorate the overload at an overloaded network node that is discarding some of the SMSs it is receiving, when a node is overloaded with received SMSs, it sends a message to the nodes from which it is receiving SMSs of that fact and includes a parameter indicating the extent to which it is overloaded. That parameter, for instance, may be the percentage of SMSs that it is receiving that are being discarded. With this information, the sending node can determine a percentage of the pending SMSs during such conditions that will help remove the overloaded node from the overload condition more quickly. Furthermore, the network protocol may be adapted to include a priority parameter in SMSs. The SMS receiving node can then make a more informed decision as to which SMSs to discard and which to deliver based on the priority parameter. Even further, when an SMS sending node knows that a node to which it is sending SMSs is overloaded, the sending node itself may decide which SMSs to send to the overloaded node based on such priority information.
Abstract:
A method for receiving a message for which a result record is generated. One or more linked result records are generated, where a linked result record comprises a link to or from the result record of the received message. Information is updated from delivery reports relating to the delivery of linked messages generated on the basis of the received message and transmitted to one or more destination nodes to the result record of the received message and to its linked result records. The method provides a simple and conservative implementation for one-to-many and many-to-one relationship between individually addressed mobile originated and mobile terminated messages and their associated reports.
