System and method for enhanced UAProfile management
First Claim
1. Within a messaging ecosystem entity a server-based method for accessing a descriptor of a wireless device, the server-based method comprising:
- receiving at a gateway a descriptor request message from a requestor, the descriptor request message including at least an address of the wireless device;
performing one or more processing steps on the descriptor request message including at least querying, based on the address, a local descriptor repository yielding a retrieved descriptor, the retrieved descriptor comprising characteristics of the wireless device, wherein the local descriptor repository is populated, at least in part, via a query to a wireless carrier that services the wireless device;
generating a descriptor response message, the descriptor response message including at least aspects of the retrieved descriptor;
returning by the gateway the descriptor response message to the requestorentering the descriptor request message into a database, the database storing a plurality of request messages;
generating a report comprising selected details of the plurality of request messages from the database; and

Abstract
Given the growing number of Wireless Devices, and the increasingly varied characteristics (including for example screen size, color depth support, audio and video support, etc.) that Wireless Device vendors or manufacturers provide within their Wireless Devices, an infrastructure that various entities (such as for example Content Providers, Service Providers, etc.) may use to quickly retrieve a quality-controlled User Agent Profile based just on a Wireless Device'"'"'s Telephone Number. The infrastructure may optionally leverage the capabilities of a centrally-located Messaging Inter-Carrier Vendor.
