Abstract
Systems and methods for providing message communication among multiple communication gateways. In particular, systems and methods for providing non-voice message delivery to intended recipients with increased speed and reliability to multiple users on multiple platforms. The systems and methods relate to non-voice messaging to multiple messaging gateways. In at least one embodiment, the systems and methods include Internet based electronic messaging using a messaging subsystem configured to optimize text message delivery to communication gateways.
Claims1
A communication method compromising:
- determining, using a message engine, a set of destination devices for messages to be transferred to at least one destination group based on at least one of:
- a delivery class associated with users having a priority level associated with the at least one destination group, dynamic properties of the at least one destination group, and users that match a set of search criteria specified by a sender;
- for destination devices having limited message length output capabilities, dropping any file attachments from the message using a mail processor;
- calculating the number of pieces in which the message needs to be transferred based on a preferred number of characters associated with a delivery method;
- generating the message content for each piece;
- transferring an individual electronic message for each piece based on the number of destination devices targeted;
- and
- minimizing the number of outgoing connections to the mail processor by bundling together devices with the same electronic mail domain.
