- Gateway 20 processes data received, e.g., from the Internet 60 for use in wireless communication network 18 .
- the components of gateway 20 may be connected over an internal network 22 , 24 , 26 , which may be a local area network (LAN).
- One or more wireless network exchanges such as MOBITEX® regional switches 28 , 30 , 32 , which may be at separate locations, communicate with gateway 20 through Nrouters 34 , 36 , 38 .
- the communication between regional switches 28 , 30 , 32 and Nrouters 34 , 36 , 38 may use an X.25 protocol.
- Gateway 20 can handle, for example, up to 255 Nrouters.
- Nrouters 34 , 36 , 38 The communications received by Nrouters 34 , 36 , 38 are processed by a series of protocol handlers 40 , 42 , 44 , 46 .
- the protocol handlers 40 , 42 , 44 , 46 communicate with the Nrouters 34 , 36 , 38 using X-sockets over internal network 22 .
- Such sockets are, for example, point-to-point, two-way software communications interfaces that direct the protocol handlers to access the internal network by creating a communications end-point or socket and returning a file descriptor with which to access that socket.
- the underlying protocol for packaging and decoding text messages sent by wireless devices and received by the gateway is Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP).
- SMTP Simple Mail Transport Protocol
- Each protocol handler may include up to five protocol processes, which may be any combination of HP98, HP99 or HPID-4 processes. Each protocol processor may back up the other protocol processors automatically.
- the protocols handled by protocol handlers 40 , 42 , 44 , 46 may specify that message storage and internal email access may be handled by the UNIX standard Network File System (NFS) distributed file system from SUNSOFT, which allows data to be shared across the network regardless of the protocol.
- NFS Network File System
- Each protocol handler maintains a database cache, i.e., a small, fast memory holding recently accessed data, to speed up internal network communications and to limit database access requests over the LAN.
- Protocol handlers 40 , 42 , 44 , 46 process information contained in user database machines, e.g., user database 48 , user database backup 50 , message store 52 and message store backup 54 .
- the protocol machines communicate with the database machines using X-sockets over internal network 24 .
- the database machines contain an interface to content addressable memory (CAM) (not shown) for updating information, e.g., user account information and status.
- CAM content addressable memory
- Multiple backup machines may be used in gateway 20 , each being synched automatically by sockets communications.
- the user databases of the gateway 20 may be configured with a directory structure. Every user account stored in the user database has a unique identifier such as a MOBITEX® Access Number.
- the results of protocols processed by protocol handlers 40 , 42 , 44 , 46 using data from the user database machines are communicated externally to gateway 20 via network 26 .
- An Internet mail router 56 and Internet mail router backup 58 connected to the internal network handle inbound and outbound communications traffic with an external network such as the Internet 60 , as well as X-sockets traffic. If necessary, a separate X-sockets machine and backup machine (not shown) can be added.
- the transport protocol for communications over the Internet may be, e.g., TCP/IP or TELNET for remote login.
- the internal network is also connected to wireless network subsystems 62 that communicate through wireless network 18 .
- wireless network subsystems are an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system which processes remote entries by a user from a touch tone telephone to query a database and obtain computerized voice responses, and a wireless paging system using an advanced XTAP protocol.
- IVR Interactive Voice Response
- XTAP Advanced XTAP protocol
- the wireless communication gateway may be configured from a standard Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) UNIX system, with the web access program being Windows NT by Microsoft.
- the system may use both TCP/IP and UDP for communications, and hypertext markup language (HTML) may be used to support Internet web browsers, including those provided by Netscape and Microsoft.
- the computer language used by the gateway components may be in the C programming language, java or HTML.
- the message delivery features of the present invention may be implemented in the C programming language.
- the gateway as configured in such a wireless communications system includes a mailbox for the user of the wireless interactive device, e.g., in message store 52 .
- a mailbox for the user of the wireless interactive device, e.g., in message store 52 .
- the gateway 20 stores the message in the user's mailbox and handles the communications and transmissions protocols to deliver the message over the wireless network.
- the message can include credit card information and credit card validation requests and replies.
- the gateway 20 determines the user's wireless device type, and the gateway 20 is programmed to handle a variety of protocols for different wireless devices.
- the gateway 20 can access profile information, such as user preferences, for the user stored in the user database.
- the gateway 20 also uses information in the user database to ensure that the user is a valid subscriber to the wireless service and to maintain billing information based on usage.
- the gateway 20 performs the important function of managing the amount of data flow in the internal network and the volume of communications traffic over the wireless network, which has a limited bandwidth and which handles limited size data packets.
- the gateway 20 provides credit card validation services to a subscriber to the gateway 20 by way of a standard wireless mail package, for example.
- the subscriber e.g., user
- the gateway 20 can use wireless devices 12 such as pagers to transmit credit card validation request messages to the gateway 20 and receive credit card validation reply messages from the gateway 20 without developing their own credit card validation interfaces.
- the message includes the credit card information such as the card number and the expiration date of the credit card to be validated.
- the credit card information is specified in the subject of an e-mail message.
- the validation reply message is then returned to the subscriber's wireless device 12 in the form of an e-mail message, for example.
- the user therefore, need only subscribe to the gateway 20 and need not subscribe to a separate credit card validation service such as PAYPAL, for example
- the credit card validation function can be implemented at the gateway 20 using a custom software application or via standard Internet e-mail to send a message to a predefined validation address associated with the gateway 20 .
- the software application developers do not need to have any specific knowledge of the actual validation process that is provided through the gateway 20 .
- the software application developers can thus concentrate their efforts in developing applications for processing the credit card validation messages between the wireless device 12 and the credit card validation service provider without the burden or overhead of knowing the specific credit validation process used by an external provider.
- the credit card validation function for processing credit card validation request messages at the gateway 20 can be implemented by software application developers independently of the external credit card validation process. Therefore, the software applications for processing the credit card information for identifying a credit card to be validated can operate independently of the credit card service provider validation process.
- the gateway 20 functions as a reseller of credit card validation services and works in conjunction with a third party credit card validation service. Because the credit card validation service is provided to the gateway subscribers, there will be much less credit card validation traffic on the gateway 20 and thus the user can access credit card validation information at a much improved processing rate.
- FIG. 2 where one embodiment of a credit card validation system 70 is illustrated.
- a user provides credit card information 72 to be validated to the wireless device 12 .
- the wireless device 12 sends a credit card validation request message 74 including the credit information (e.g., credit card number and the expiration date) to the gateway 20 .
- the gateway 20 transmits a credit card validation request message 75 and the credit card information to a third party credit card validation service provider 76 for processing the credit card information.
- the third party credit card validation service provider 76 returns a validation reply message 79 indicating whether or not to authorize the credit card. Accordingly, the gateway 20 provides a validation reply message 78 to the wireless device 12 .
- the wireless device 12 is an interactive pager and the credit information can be entered via the interactive pager keyboard 73 .
- the wireless device can be interfaced to various external devices such as an external keypad 14 , a card swipe reader 16 , a contact smart card 90 , a contactless smart card 92 , infrared 94 , radio frequency (RF) 96 , magnetic induction 98 , and the like.
- the wireless device 12 accepts the credit card information from the external interfaces 14 , 16 , 90 , 92 , 94 , 96 , 98 and transmits the credit card information and a validation request to the wireless communication network 18 and onto the gateway 20 for validation.
- FIG. 3 where one embodiment of a flow diagram 80 showing how the credit card validation may be implemented.
- the user 72 sends a credit card validation request message including credit card information to the gateway 20 .
- the gateway 20 recognizes the user 72 and receives the validation request message and credit card information 74 .
- the gateway 20 transmits a validation request message including the credit card information 74 to a third party credit card validation service 76 provider.
- the third party credit card validation service provider 76 validates the credit card information 74 and returns a validation reply to the gateway 20 .
- the gateway sends the validation reply 78 to the user via the wireless device 12 .
- the user 72 can validate the credit card information 74 through the gateway 20 without subscribing to the third party validation service 76 .
- the gateway 20 provider purchases the credit card validation services from the third party validation service provider 76 and resells the validation service to the user 72 .
- a vendor can take a customer's credit card information and provide the information to the wireless device 12 .
- the vendor provides the credit card information to the wireless device through the various interfaces.
- the wireless device 12 transmits the credit card information and a validation request message to the wireless communication network 18 and onto the gateway 20 .
- the credit card information is then validated and the gateway 20 sends a response containing the validation reply as a text message back to the display of the wireless device 12 .
- the validation reply also can be displayed on the keypad 14 , the credit card swipe reader 16 and any of the other external interfaces if they are equipped with a display or validation indicator.
- a wireless user can obtain credit card validation information via an interactive message with no application development.
- the wireless user can utilize the wireless device 12 to send an interactive message to the wireless network 18 as follows:
- ⁇ creditcard number> is the number to be validated
- ⁇ expiration date> is the expiration date of the card
- ⁇ amount> is an optional field and is the amount to check if valid
- the wireless network provides the following response to the wireless user, for example:
- the wireless user can validate credit cards wirelessly remote from their normal place of business, for example.
- the wireless user can later clear the credit card via the conventional credit facility located back at the wireless user's normal place of business.
