Method and system for triggering internet applications using messages
First Claim
1. A method for triggering an Internet application from an Internet-enabled computing device coupled to a network and having access to user-specific information associated with a sender of a message and identification information of a user contacting means, the method comprising:
- receiving, from the user contacting means via the network, the message having user identification and calling line identification (CLID) information associated therewith;
comparing the user identification and the CLID information with the user-specific information, using the computing device, to provide user identification validation;
andupon positive said validation, triggering the Internet application from the computing device.

12. A system for triggering an Internet application using a message sent over a network, the system comprising:
-
a database for storing user-specific information associated with a sender of the message and with a user contacting means; an Internet-enabled computing device for comparing and validating (1) user identification associated with the message, and (2) calling line identification (CLID) information associated with the message, with the user-specific information to provide user identification validation, and for, upon positive said validation, triggering the Internet application from the computing device; and a message server for receiving the message from the user contacting means and for communicating at least a portion of the message to the computing device. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for triggering an Internet application using a message sent by a user over a network, the message having user identification and calling line identification (CLID) information associated therewith, the system comprising:
-
a server coupled to the network; a database accessible by the server for storing user-specific information of the user; and an application coupled to the server, the application configured for; receiving the message; comparing the user identification in the message with the user-specific information to provide user validation; and upon positive said validation, triggering the Internet application from the server using the received message.
