Abstract

A method and system for communicating to the networks using mobile phones. In one example, this can be done without computer-based online user registration. The client system uses a text capable mobile phone to post a message through Short Message Service (SMS), and the message is received by the server system. The server system receives the message, along with the originating mobile phone number from the client system. The server system assigns a unique identifier to this message, and associates it to the mobile phone number of the client system. The message is translated by the server system into formats that can be accessed by other client systems, such as mobile, computers, and Personal Digital Assisstants. This message can be read and responded to by client systems (using mobile or computers) without revealing the SMS caller ID (identification).

Claims

1. A system for communication between electronic devices, said system comprises:

a network of said electronic devices;

a first mobile device; and

a second electronic device,

wherein said second electronic device assigns an identification name to said first mobile device,

wherein said first mobile device posts a first content on said second electronic device,

wherein said first content is accessible for said electronic devices on said network via said identification name.

2. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein said second electronic device is a server.

3. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first mobile device bi-directionally communicates with a third electronic device in said network.

4. A system as recited in claim 3, wherein said third electronic device is a mobile device.

5. A system as recited in claim 3, wherein said third electronic device is a computer.

6. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first mobile device is a mobile phone.

7. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first mobile device communicates with said second electronic device using Short Message Service protocol.

8. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first mobile device is not pre-registered or pre-validated with said second electronic device.

9. A system as recited in claim 3, wherein said bi-directional communication is done using Short Message Service protocol.

10. A system as recited in claim 3, wherein said bi-directional communication is done via said identification name.

11. A system as recited in claim 3, wherein said bi-directional communication is done without revealing the identity of said first mobile device.

12. A system as recited in claim 3, wherein said first mobile device has the option to reveal its identity.

13. A system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a content processing engine.

14. A system as recited in claim 1, further comprising a list priority.

15. A system as recited in claim 14, wherein said list priority is a dynamic list priority.

16. A system as recited in claim 15, wherein said dynamic list priority is based on predetermined parameters and dynamic weights.

17. A system as recited in claim 1, wherein said first content is one or more of the following:

message, advertisement, sales, auction, or emergency request.

18. A system as recited in claim 3, wherein said first content or said bi-directional communication comprises one or more of the following, or combination of the following:

text, voice, music, sound, multimedia, video, images, tables, forms, and database.

19. An apparatus for communication between electronic devices, said apparatus comprises:

a network of said electronic devices;

a first mobile device; and

a second electronic device,

wherein said second electronic device assigns an identification name to said first mobile device,

wherein said first mobile device posts a first content on said second electronic device,

wherein said first content is accessible for said electronic devices on said network via said identification name.

20. A method for communication in a network of electronic devices, said method comprises the steps of:

assigning an identification name to a first mobile device by a second electronic device; and

posting a first content on said second electronic device by said first mobile device,

wherein said first content is accessible for said electronic devices on said network via said identification name.
