Abstract

A system for the centralized storage of messages on a telecommunications network includes a processor, memory, and a storage device. The storage device has a message store portion for storing message information, a transaction segment portion for storing segment information, and a message device status portion for storing device information. The message store portion is associated with the transaction segment portion and the device status portion.

Claims

1. A system for the centralized storage of messages on a telecommunications network, the system comprising:

a processor;

memory coupled to the processor; and

a data storage device coupled to the processor, the data storage device comprising;

a message store portion for storing message information;

a transaction segment portion for storing segment information; and

a message device status portion for storing device information, wherein the message store portion is associated with the transaction segment portion and the device status portion in the data structure.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a flag for indicating whether a message is proprietary.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a transaction identifier portion for storing a transaction identification string.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a message class portion for storing message class information.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a segment portion for storing segment information.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a priority portion for storing priority information.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises an originating address portion for storing originating address information.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a destination address portion for storing destination address information.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a class of service portion for storing class of service information.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a status portion for storing status information.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a date submitted portion for storing submission information.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises a sequence number portion for storing sequence information.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein the message store portion further comprises an address notification portion for storing address notification information.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein the transaction segment portion further comprises a segment number portion for storing segment number information and a segment data portion for storing segment data information.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein the message device status portion further comprises a device type portion for storing device type information.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein the message device status portion further comprises a route identifier portion for storing route identification information.

17. The system of claim 1, wherein the message device status portion further comprises a device status portion for storing device status information.

18. The system of claim 1, wherein the message device status portion further comprises a completion date portion for storing completion date information.

19. The system of claim 1, wherein the message device status portion further comprises a query attempts portion for storing query attempt information.

20. The system of claim 1, wherein the message device status portion further comprises a retry attempts portion for storing retry attempts information.

21. The system of claim 1, wherein the message device status portion further comprises a number of segments successful portion for storing a number of segments successfully transmitted.

22. The system of claim 1, wherein the message device status portion further comprises a number of segments unsuccessful portion for storing a number of segments unsuccessfully transmitted.
