Abstract
A system and method for transmitting MIDlet data via a SMS are provided. In the system, at least one MIDlet one of generates an SMS message requesting a service and transmits the SMS message, and receives an SMS message requesting a service. An SMSC analyzes the SMS message received from the at least one MIDlet and, according to the analysis, forwards the SMS message to a receiving MIDlet or transmits to a servlet a remote method invocation (RMI) request included in the SMS message in a form suitable for processing in the servlet. The servlet analyzes the RMI request received from the SMSC, generates a return value in the form of an object, and transmits a return message having the return value for the at least one MIDlet.
Claims17
A system for transmitting MIDlet data via a short message service (SMS), comprising:
- at least one MIDlet for generating an SMS message requesting a service and transmitting the SMS message, and receiving an SMS message requesting a service;
- an SMS center (SMSC) for analyzing the SMS message received from the at least one MIDlet and, according to the analysis, forwarding the SMS message to a receiving MIDlet or transmitting to a servlet a remote method invocation (RMI) request included in the SMS message in a form suitable for processing in the servlet;
- and
- a servlet for analyzing the RMI request received from the SMSC, generating a return value in the form of an object, and transmitting a return message having the return value for the at least one MIDlet.
In a MIDlet data transmitting system including at least one MIDlet, and a sevlet connected to a short message service center (SMSC), a method of transmitting remote method invocation (RMI) request data from the at least one MIDlet to the servlet, comprising the steps of:
- (1) transmitting the RMI request data by an SMS message to the servlet to receive a service from the servlet in the at least one MIDlet;
- (2) separating the RMI request data from the SMS message and transmitting the RMI request data in a form suitable for the servlet in the SMSC;
- and
- (3) transmitting a return message in response to the RMI request data in the servlet.
A method of transmitting an object from a first MIDlet to a second MIDlet, comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating in a first MIDlet an object to be sent as a short message service (SMS) message and transmitting the SMS message;
- (b) detecting a MIDlet identifier (ID) from the SMS message;
- (c) transmitting the SMS message to a second MIDlet corresponding to the MIDlet ID;
- and
- (d) analyzing the SMS message and detecting the object from the SMS message in the second MIDlet.
