Abstract

A method and system for interworking between instant messaging and short message service are provided. The invention allows wireless service providers to offer a new text messaging service to their mobile clients, consumer IM clients and to enterprise IM clients. The exemplary embodiments comprise various elements, including a new administrative server that, among other things, allows consumer and enterprise-based IM users to register the URI of their IM client and to request a permanently assigned telephone number for receiving text messages from SMS clients and allows SMS users to register the mobile phone number and to request permanently assigned IM URI. The exemplary embodiments also comprise the expansion of the traditional E.164 Number Mapping (ENUM) server to provide the translation from IM URIs to mobile phone numbers and to perform the translation from mobile phone numbers to IM URIs, and modification of the traditional SMS Gateway to perform ENUM queries.

Description

Background technique [0001] Example embodiments described herein relate to methods and systems for networking between an instant messaging service and a short message service. Although the embodiments are particularly directed to, and thus will be described with particular reference to, the field of telecommunications, it will be understood that the embodiments may be used in other fields and applications. [0002] By way of background, instant messaging (IM) is a form of real-time communication between two or more people based on entered text. IM services can generally be divided into two types: Enterprise Instant Messaging (EIM) for business and Consumer Instant Messaging (CIM) for the general public. With CIM, public service providers such as Yahoo or MSN provide users with clients and access to web-hosted IM servers. Typically, text is passed between clients on devices connected over a network, such as the Internet. Enterprise solutions such as Microsoft's Office Commun...
