Definitions
- the present invention relates to maintaining communication between computer systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to maintaining a continuous communication channel between a mobile platform and a server.
- e-mail electronic mail
- voice mail systems are oriented towards local users connected to a corporate server.
- the local user has immediate access to all incoming e-mail and voice mail messages received by the corporate server because the local user's system is directly coupled to the corporate server.
- the direct coupling between the local user's system and the corporate server is performed via a local area network (“LAN”) or a direct link.
- LAN local area network
- Direct connection allows the local user to interact in real time with any communication received by the server.
- LAN local area network
- a remote user must login into the corporate server and down load, read, or listen to stored messages. Thus, the remote user has to repeatedly login into the server to check for incoming messages.
- One disadvantage of conventional e-mail communication exists when a remote user attempts to remain in continuous communication with the corporate server.
- the remote user requires frequent access to a dedicated line or must rely on a cellular phone line connection via a wide band connection.
- Access to a dedicated line constrains the remote users mobility because a specified phone jack is desired for communication.
- a cellular communication does not require a specified phone jack.
- the cellular connection has a slow data transmission rate, typically advertised as 9600 baud modem rate, when compared to a phone jack/wire connection, typically 33,000 baud rate. Additionally, cellular lines do not provide a stable communication channel and have an average throughput much smaller than the advertised 9600 baud rate.
- Batch communication describes a remote user logging into a corporate server and downloading a group of stored messages.
- a remote user is unaware of urgent or immediate communications.
- batch communication typically consist of a large volume of data transmissions because a group of messages is transferred to the remote user for a given period of time (each time a user connects). Transmitting large volumes of data compounds the disadvantages associated with slow baud rate cellular communication and requires longer access to a phone jack, thus reducing mobility.
- the BQM protocol was developed by a number of companies including Intel Corporation (of Santa Clara, California), Microsoft Corporation (of Redmond, Washington), International Business Machine (“IBM”) Corporation (of Armonk, New York), and Compaq Corporation (of Houston, Texas) to provide an industry standard guaranteeing compatibility and message delivery between remote systems.
- Intel Corporation of Santa Clara, California
- Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington
- IBM International Business Machine
- Compaq Corporation of Houston, Texas
- Protocols also exist for two way narrow band communication.
- narrow band devices typically communicate with each other using a two way wireless communication in accordance with Motorola Flex technology developed by Motorola Corporation (of Schaumburg, Illinois) or Mobitex technology developed by Ericsson Corporation (of Swiss, Sweden).
- protocols also exist for the integration of disparate messaging applications.
- the interface between messaging systems is controlled by the Message Application Programmers Interface (“MAPI”) developed by Microsoft Corporation (of Redmond, Washington).
- FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art communication between mobile platforms and a server.
- Laptop 100 includes a cellular device (not shown) communicating with receiver station 130 via cellular antenna 120. Receiver Station 130 in turn communicates with server 160 via phone jack 150.
- the cellular connection of laptop 100 provides the user great mobility.
- laptop 110 must directly connect to phone jack 140 to communicate with server 160.
- both laptops 100 and 110 must login directly to secondary accounts within server 160 to review incoming messages or down load old messages from server 160. Further, once disconnected from server 160 laptops 100 and 110 are unaware of incoming messages, thus creating the disadvantages described above.
- a computer-implemented method for maintaining a continuous communication channel between a first device and a second device includes opening a first communication channel between the first device and the second device.
- the method also includes selectively transmitting a first set of electronic data along the first communication channel and opening a second communication channel between the first device and the second device.
- the second communication channel is used to selectively re-transmit a second set of electronic data, wherein the second set of electronic data comprises an extended transmission of a subset of the first set of electronic data.
- Figure 1 illustrates prior art mobile platforms directly coupled to a servei
- Figure 2 shows one embodiment of mobile platforms coupled to a server
- Figure 3 shows one embodiment of a state machine diagram for implementing a narrow band communication between a mobile platform and a server
- Figure 4 shows one embodiment of a state machine diagram for implementing a wide band communication between a mobile platform and a server
- Figure 5 shows one embodiment of interface levels shared between a mobile platform and a server.
- a method including a communication between a mobile platform and a local server is disclosed.
- the communication is governed via a software agent consisting of two parts -- namely, a local agent located on the local server and a client agent located on the mobile platform.
- the local agent filters incoming messages to the local server and is responsible for re-transmitting the incoming messages to the mobile platform.
- the filtering process is dependent on defined parameters that govern the communication between the local server and the mobile platform.
- the filtering process is determined by a user profile inputted to the local server. Using the filtering process the local agent retransmits an entire or partial messages to the mobile platform, thus allowing for continuous communication. This process is described as "pushing messages.”
- a narrow band socket communication between the local server and the mobile platform provides for real time updates of incoming messages.
- the client agent provides for seamless communication between the mobile platform and the local server.
- the client agent retrieves the un- transmitted sections of the message. This process is described as "pulling messages.”
- the retrieval of un-transmitted sections of a message are conducted along a wide band communication channel.
- a wide band communication channel describes transmission using a dedicated land line or cellular devices.
- the client agent dynamically switches between narrow band and wide band communication to receive filtered or un- filtered messages.
- Both narrow band and wide band communications transfer outgoing messages to an intermediate protocol that guarantees delivery and integration of messages across a wide variety of messaging system.
- the industry standards BQM and WinSock provide this intermediate protocol.
- An intended advantage of an embodiment of the invention is to provide continuous communication between a local server and a mobile platform.
- the local agent selectively transmits segments of an incoming message to the mobile platform.
- the client agent allows the user to review the messages as transmitted or in their entirety.
- Another intended advantage of an embodiment of the invention is to reduce the number of remote accounts on a local server.
- the software agent provides for the automatic pushing and pulling of incoming messages from a single account, instead of requiring a secondary account to access new messages.
- Another intended advantage of an embodiment of the invention is to reduce power consumption in a mobile platform. Power consumption is preserved by allowing the software agent to communicate via a narrow band device, thus allowing for continuous communication while the mobile platform is turned off or in power conservation mode. Power conservation mode is known in the art and consists of shutting down components of computer system to increase battery life.
- FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment of the present invention.
- Laptops 200, 210, and 220 are coupled to server 260 via different communication medias.
- Server 260 includes a processor and an execution unit (not shown) for executing instructions of a software agent.
- Laptops 200, 210, and 220 also include processors and execution units (not shown) for executing the instructions of a software agent.
- each laptop include narrow band devices 205, 215, and 225 respectively.
- the narrow band devices communicate with receiver station 230 via a narrow band communication channel.
- Receiver Station 230 in turn is coupled to server 260, thus providing narrow band devices 205, 215, and 225 with a narrow band connection to server 260.
- the narrow band communication with server 260 occurs independent of the laptops location or power mode, thus providing a continuous communication channel.
- the narrow band devices communicate with receiver station 230 using a two way wireless pager narrow band socket connection in accordance with Motorola Flex technology.
- the narrow band devices communicate with receiver station 230 using a two way wireless pager narrow band socket connection in accordance with Mobitex technology.
- Server 260 includes a local agent that determines whether new messages should be re-transmitted to mobile platforms.
- the local agent also determines the structure of each re-transmitted message for a given mobile platform. Accordingly, using the local agent server 260 updates laptops 200, 210, and 220 with new messages or segments of new messages using the narrow band connection regardless of the laptops location or power mode.
- laptops 200, 210, and 220 include a client agent (not shown).
- the client agent maintains the re- transmitted messages and dynamically switches between the narrow band connection and a wide band connection to receive entire messages when a partially transmitted message is selected by a user.
- Laptop 200 includes a cellular device (not shown) communicating with receiver station 235 through cellular antenna 227.
- Receiver Station 235 in turn transmits messages to and from server 260 via phone jack 270.
- the cellular connection of laptop 200 provides the user great mobility. Accordingly, laptop 200 receives new messages through batch communication.
- Laptop 200's narrow band device 205 and client agent allow laptop 200 to continuously receive incoming messages from server 260, via receiver station 230, without the cellular connection or the constraints of batch communication.
- Laptop 210 is coupled to phone jack 240 which in turn is coupled to server 260 along dedicated line 245.
- Dedicated line 245 allows laptop 210 a faster communication media than the cellular connection of laptop 200, however the need for a dedicated line reduces the mobility of laptop 210.
- the narrow band device 215 and laptop 210's client agent allows laptop 210 to detach from the dedicated line and continuously receive incoming messages from server 260, thus affording laptop 210 with greater mobility.
- FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of the state transitions within a local agent of server 260. State diagram 300 describes decision transitions, states 310 through 370, followed by the local agent. In State 310, the local agent determines whether the mobile active has been activated for a local account.
- the mobile active is manually activated when the user leaves the LAN coordinated by server 260.
- mobile active is turned on a transition to State 320 occurs.
- State 320 the local agent logs into server 260 and periodically interrogates server 260 for new messages.
- the local agent uses the MAPI application to login and interrogate server 260.
- a new message causes a transition to State 330.
- the local agent determines whether a user profile is set within server 260. Existence of a user profile leads to State 340 wherein the profile is used to configure message re-transmission. If no user profile exists a default profile is used in State 350.
- the user profile includes a set of preprogrammed rules describing whether a message will be re-transmitted across the narrow band socket communication.
- the user profile also includes the desired length and contents of re-transmitted messages. For one embodiment, a user profile only re-transmits the first one hundred lines of new messages marked as urgent in their header. For an alternative embodiment, the user profile only requires re-transmission of messages header information.
- the local agent determines whether the new message follows the characteristics determined by the user profile, State 340, or the default profile, State 350. If the message does not fall within the user profile the local agent returns to state 310. Provided the message follows the selected profile the local agent transitions to State 370. In State 370, the message or selected segments of the message are re-transmitted to the narrow band device included in the user's mobile platform. Subsequent to message re-transmission the local agent returns to state 310. For one embodiment, in State 370 the message or a segment of the message is passed to a BQM protocol for re-transmission.
- Figure 4 illustrates one embodiment of the state transitions within a client agent of a mobile platform.
- State diagram 400 describes the decision transitions followed by the client agent subsequent to message reception by a narrow band device.
- all communication between the client agent and the local agent is governed by the WinSock specification.
- the client agent is activated.
- the client agent is activated when the user accesses an electronic mail program included in the mobile platform. Activation of the client agent results in a transition to State 420.
- the client agent interrogates the electronic mail program included in the mobile platform to determine whether the user is accessing received messages.
- the client agent interrogates the electronic mail program using MAPI.
- the client agent transitions to State 430.
- State 430 the client agent logs into server 260. A server without an authentication requirement results in a direct transition to State 450.
- the authentication is a user inputted password.
- the authentication is determined on equipment keys correlating to the clients remote machine, voice recognition, and /or visual recognition.
- the client agent transmits the appropriate authentication credential and provided the authentication credential is accepted by server 260 the client agent transitions to State 450, wherein wide band communication is initiated.
- wide band communication is initiated when the client agent selects an available wide band communication device and transmits an acknowledge signal to server 260.
- the local agent includes a secondary user profile that regulates the length and content of messages re-transmitted to the user over the wide band communication media.
- State 460 the entire message is transmitted to the mobile platform from server 260.
- the client agent returns to State 410 otherwise the client agent returns to State 460.
- return to State 410 is initiated by the user exiting the electronic mail program included in the mobile platform.
- return to State 410 is initiated at the end of each message transmission.
- the transition from States 430 to 460 are performed seamlessly.
- the client agent queries the user prior to a state transition.
- server 260's password, the media for wide band transmission, and whether the user wants the entire contents of a partially transmitted message is requested prior to state transitions from 430 to 460.
- State Diagram 400 describes the processing of re-transmitted messages received and stored within a narrow band device for one embodiment.
- the narrow band devices store received messages within the memory devices of the mobile platform.
- Protocol Level 500 describes the interaction of each protocol level.
- Local Agent 510 is located on server 260.
- Local Agent 510 filters incoming messages to server 260 and is responsible for re-transmitting the incoming messages to a mobile platform.
- Local Agent 510 uses the MAPI 520 protocol to interrogate and communicate with the mail system of server 260. Once a new message has been restructured for re-transmission to the mobile platform the reconstructed message is transferred to a BQM 530 protocol.
- Local Agent 510 uses the BQM 530 protocol to guarantee the transmission of messages between server 260 and a BQM 570 protocol on the mobile platform.
- Client Agent 560 provides for seamless communication between the mobile platform and the local server. Using the MAPI 550 protocol Client Agent 560 communicates with the electronic mail program included in the mobile platform.
- Client Agent 560 is able to determined whether a user is accessing partially transmitted messages. Access of a partially transmitted message results in Client Agent 560 opening a wide band communication channel with server 260. The wide band communication between the mobile platform and server 260 is facilitated by the Transport 540 protocol.
- the Transport 540 protocol provides a channel connection between Client Agent 560 and Local Agent 510.
- the Transport 540 protocol consists of the Microsoft WinSock socket based services that interfaces between applications and a channel connection between two platforms.
- the Transport 540 protocol consists of the TCP/IP protocol.
