Abstract
A wireless Internet gateway bridges wireless devices to the Internet, e.g., via a short message service center (SMSC). The gateway provides a portal to SMPP, HTTP, TNPP, or other protocol messages using Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) techniques. Application servers insert RMI objects containing messages in a message queue handler of the gateway. The RMI objects are queued and passed either directly to a destination delivery handler (e.g., SMPP, SMTP, HTTP or TNPP protocol handler), or passed through a generic destination interface. An SMTP handler provides direct communication of SMTP protocol messages (i.e., email) to the message queue. An SMPP link proxy module provides direct access between a local application server and the destination delivery handler. The messages are packaged into relevant messages of the particular destination protocol (e.g., SMPP), and transmitted to the relevant network element (e.g., to an SMSC).

33. A method of providing two-way text messaging with a physical wireless Internet gateway server, comprising:
-
passing a text message to a listener agent associated with a destination mobile device registered therewith, rather than delivered into a message queue associated with said destination mobile device; and delivering said text message together with a return path iMessageReceiver object through which a response can be made; wherein text messages are received from, and sent to, a wireless device external to the physical wireless internet gateway server, in a protocol independent manner. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
