Abstract

A messaging proxy system is disclosed for the purpose of delivering data in the form of a portable message format from a producer running on a mobile or non-mobile computer, over any wireless network, by passing this data through an intermediary proxy computer program, to one or more recipients running on mobile or non-mobile computers. The system includes a message proxy computer program with at least one pluggable transport protocol adapter. The proxy contains a command subsystem for sending and receiving command- and message-tokens to and from the mobile clients. The system further includes a thin messaging middleware client to run on mobile devices. The thin messaging middleware client includes at least one pluggable protocol adapter. The client also comprises a command subsystem for sending and receiving command- and message-tokens to and from the proxy. The proxy also contains a communication subsystem for sending and receiving messages via a state of the art message oriented middleware.

Claims

1. A method of operating a computer connected to a wired computer network, comprising:

implementing on the computer at least one transport protocol adapter with a logic to interface with a transport protocol,

receiving at least one of message oriented middleware (MOM) command tokens and of MOM message tokens from an application running on a mobile wireless device serving as client, via said transport protocol adapter and using said transport protocol,

sending MOM message tokens to a client via said transport protocol adapter and using said transport protocol, and

exchanging MOM message tokens with a MOM client implemented on a computer of said wired computer network, and

said code comprising software code implemented to receive and send JMS (Java Message Service) MOM tokens.
