Definitions

  • Electronic mail has become almost as ubiquitous as have these phone systems. Electronic email has become a very common way of transmitting information today. Regardless of all variants, it basically involves the sending of electronic data, text, and images from a sender, to an addressee, through various mail relays, interfaces, etc.
  • a mailbox is a storage area on a mail server that stores electronic mail, attachments, files and other data sent to a recipient.
  • a recipient can access his or her mailbox by data input of an alphanumeric login and password that matches the login and password stored on the recipient's user database record in the user information database. This data input can occur through a number of different clients, such as but not limited to a computer, a telephone, or some other PCD.
  • Figure 1 illustrates an exemplary Internet distributed system configuration.
  • PCD Personal Communications Devices
  • Figure 1 Some of the elements of a typical Internet network configuration are shown in Figure 1, wherein a number of client machines 105 possibly in a branch office of an enterprise, are shown connected to a Gateway/hub/tunnel-server/etc.
  • An embodiment of the Web Messaging System of the present invention can operate on a general purpose computer unit which typically includes generally the elements shown in Figure 2.
  • the general purpose system 201 includes a motherboard 203 having thereon an input/output ("I/O") section 205, one or more central processing units (“CPU”) 207, and a memory section 209 which may have a flash memory card 211 related to it.
  • the I/O section 205 is connected to a keyboard 226, other similar general purpose computer units 225, 215, a disk storage unit 223 and a CD-ROM drive unit 217.
  • the CD-ROM drive unit 217 can read a CD-ROM medium 219 which typically contains programs 221 and other data.
  • Logic circuits or other components of these programmed computers will perform series of specifically identified operations dictated by computer programs as described more fully below.
  • the recipient receives an email account, whereas initially, he didn't have one.
  • the Lucent patent referred to above discloses notifying someone by email about a message which requires the addressee to have an email address, whereas the current invention is about providing him with an email address so he can review a message already sent).
  • Mail to SMS gateways discloses notifying someone by email about a message which requires the addressee to have an email address, whereas the current invention is about providing him with an email address so he can review a message already sent.
  • the system translates the short textual message into a language of a country associated with an address of the PCD associated with the addressee.
  • the system translates the electronic message sent by user A to recipient B into a digitized voice message if so requested by recipient B.
  • the recipient B may retrieve this digitized voice message from any of a number of different media means, such as but not limited to a telephone, a PCS phone, a mobile phone, or a personal computer.
  • the intended recipient of the message retrieves the message through a text-to-speech system an additional befefit of the present invention occurs.
  • B is in fact in a position to be sent an email, have the ability to receive it (hear it), and reply to it (his digitized voice is sent back to the original sender) without having subscribed to an ISP...
  • the preferred embodiment contains various components that make sense of most of these cases (e.g. '00' is a common international prefix in Europe, whereas in the US it is 'Oi l ', etc.).
  • the addressee receives only the sender and the subject of the email (and even so, the subject might very well be truncated to accommodate the 160-character limit.)
  • the recipient may be told (in the help message or the first message) to reply with a 'N' (for example) to get to the Next 'page ' of 160 characters. In that way, the recipient can check that the message sent to him is worth reading, and can choose to read it little by little or can read the entire message by logging on the web.
  • the present invention opens the whole number range to email addressing, there is a likelihood that people will use it as a way to 'spam' people with unsolicited emails. In a prefe ⁇ ed embodiment this may be treated in several ways.
  • the user can select a general message processing option 507, such as but not including forward all future electronic messages to another given email account or sending a page to the user when a user-selected number of new electronic messages are received.
  • the data structure of the user database record can also contain a translation identifier 509 that is based on the PCD associated with the user.
  • the translation identifier 509 can associate a language with the country prefix of the PCD and thereby translate notice messages to that user into a primary language of that country.
  • the data structure of the user database record can also contain other user options that are selected by the user after initial account activation, such as but not limited to filtering future electronic messages by criteria such as sender address or message size, blocking electronic messages from selected users, and sending automatic vacation replies.
  • recipient B after logging in, can check his or her email account and setup options for future uses, such as creating a more friendly login name and changing his or her password.
  • additional enabling notices can be sent to recipient B should the recipient not login to the system. These additional enabling notices can be sent at increasing or decreasing frequencies to recipient B based upon system defaults or options and preferences chosen by user A.
  • a sender of an electronic message may attach various forms of data to the electronic message, including but not limited to data files, images, sound files, and programs. This data can appear in the electronic message itself or as an attachment.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne une solution au problème d'envoi d'un message électronique dans le cas où le destinataire ne possède pas d'adresse électronique ou lorsque l'expéditeur ne connaît pas l'adresse électronique du destinataire, par l'intermédiaire d'un système ou d'un procédé permettant à l'expéditeur connaissant uniquement le numéro de PCD du destinataire (qu'il s'agisse d'un numéro de téléphone GSM, ou d'un pager PCS, ou d'un téléphone WAP, etc.), destiné à créer un compte de courrier électronique à la volée pour un destinataire déterminé si il/elle n'en possède pas un, et à conserver le message disponible pour le destinataire déterminé. Le destinataire déterminé peut accéder au message en prouvant qu'il est le titulaire authentique du téléphone adressé au moyen d'un mot de passe/locution, symbole, etc. fourni par le système.
