Two-way wireless messaging system having user agent
First Claim
1. A two-way wireless messaging system, comprising:
- a messaging network having a first user agent corresponding to a first subscriber of a two-way wireless messaging service, wherein a first pager of said first subscriber receives messages from the messaging service along a first wireless communication channel that wirelessly couples said messaging network and said first pager of said first subscriber,said first pager including a plurality of messages stored therein and corresponding message codes;
first air interface between said first pager and said messaging network;
wherein said first wireless communication channel crosses said first air interface;
said first user agent including a plurality of messages stored therein and corresponding message codes that are identical to said messages and codes in said first pager, wherein a predetermined message stored in said first user agent is forwarded to a desired destination in response to an originating message code corresponding to said predetermined message that is received from said first pager of said first subscriber along a second wireless communication channel that wirelessly couples said messaging network and said first pager of said first subscriber;
wherein said second wireless communication channel crosses said first air interface;
a second user agent in said messaging network corresponding to a second subscriber of said two-way wireless messaging service and through which said predetermined message is forwarded to said desired destination;
a second pager of said second subscriber receiving said predetermined message from said second user agent along a third wireless communication channel that wirelessly couples said messaging network and said second pager of said second subscriber;
a second air interface between said second pager and said messaging network;
wherein said third wireless communication channel crosses said second air interface;
said second user agent receiving a reply code from said second pager of said second subscriber indicating additional action;
wherein said reply code is received by said second user agent from a fourth wireless communication channel;
wherein said fourth wireless communication channel crosses said second air interface.

Abstract
A two-way wireless messaging system includes a messaging network having at least one user agent corresponding to a subscriber of a two-way wireless messaging service. The subscriber receives messages from the messaging network along a first communication channel. The user agent includes a plurality of messages stored therein wherein a predetermined message is stored in the user agent and forwarded to a desired destination in response to an originating message code that is received from a two-way messaging device of the subscriber along a second communication return channel. The originating message code can be expanded by the user agent. The messages stored by the user agent can be modified so that different messages can be forwarded to the predetermined destination. The user agent also maintains location information of the two-way messaging device of the subscriber.

23. A method for two-way messaging, comprising the steps of:
-
storing a plurality of messages and corresponding message codes within a first pager, storing a plurality of messages and corresponding message codes that are identical to said messages and codes in said first pager within a first user agent of a two-way messaging network, the messages corresponding to those selected by a first subscriber of a two-way messaging service, transmitting messages from said two-way messaging network to said first pager of said first subscriber along a first wireless communication channel that wirelessly couples said two-way messaging network and said first pager of said first subscriber, wherein a first air interface separates said first pager and said messaging network; wherein said first wireless communication channel crosses said first air interface; transmitting an originating message code from said first pager of said first subscriber to said two-way messaging network along a second wireless communication channel, expanding the originating message code into one of said plurality of messages that corresponds to said originating message code within said first user agent in response to receiving said originating message code from said first pager, forwarding said one of said plurality of messages through a second user agent in said two-way messaging network corresponding to a second subscriber of said two-way messaging service to a desired destination based on the content of the originating message code, wherein a second pager of said second subscriber receiving said one of said plurality of messages from said second user agent along a third wireless communication channel, wherein a second air interface separates said second pager and said messaging network; transmitting a reply code indicating additional action along a fourth wireless communication channel to said second user agent; wherein said fourth wireless communication channel crosses said second air interface. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
