Interactive messaging system
First Claim
1. A method for exchanging interactive messages with wireless devices comprising the steps of:
- selecting a brokering template from a group of brokering templates, wherein the group of templates include an event brokering template for negotiating an event based interactive workflow and collaboration between a sender of an interactive message and at least one recipient of the interactive message, the event based interactive workflow includes response triggered events and non-response triggered events;
composing the interactive message by filling in the template and transmitting the interactive message to an application server, the message having at least one pre-assigned instant event key, the at least one pre-assigned instant event key defining actions of the workflow, and the sender assigning a response triggered event to correspond to the at least one pre-assigned instant event response key;
sending the message, using any enabling push technology, from the application server to an at least one wireless device of the at least one recipient, the at least one recipient communicating with the sender of the message via the at least one wireless device and a sender'"'"'s wireless device;
communicating a response to the message through the application server to the sender, the response triggered by the at least one recipient selecting the at least one pre-assigned instant event key;
the application server managing the event based interactive workflow and collaboration between the at least one recipient and the sender of the interactive message;
wherein the response triggered events trigger the application server to initiate an event; and
wherein the event includes purchasing an item, participating in a game, playing a video, or making a call.

Abstract
The interactive messaging system of the present invention provides for an interactive communication process between users, both senders and recipients. The sender composes a message by filling in a template stored in data services. Once completed, the sender pushes the message to a recipient'"'"'s wireless device if the wireless device contains a WAP browser which is capable of receiving pushed messages. Typically the message includes a question along with answers for the recipient to choose from. Each answer corresponds with a pre-assigned response key and the recipient answers the question by selecting one of the pre-assigned response keys. The recipient'"'"'s response is available to the sender in the form of an e-mail, WAP Push, on-line access or interactive message that is shown to the sender on an on-line status screen.
