Abstract
A mobile device is employed to be a gateway device to transmit messages between end-users and a shared message board running on a remote sever. The gateway device runs a gateway application to implement the gateway function.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- sending a first message in a first format from a user device to a gateway device having a phone number, the gateway mobile device running a gateway application;
- converting the first format to a second format, the second format being a suitable format to generate a converted message from the first message;
- and
- submitting the converted message to a shared message board (SMB),
- wherein:
- converting the first message to the converted message is performed by the gateway application;
- and
- the converted message is intermediated as a data entry by an SMB application on the SMB.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon:
- first program instructions programmed to sending a first message in a first format from a user device to a gateway device having a phone number, the gateway mobile device running a gateway application;
- second program instructions programmed to converting the first format to a second format, the second format being a suitable format to generate a converted message from the first message;
- and
- third program instructions programmed to submitting the converted message to a shared message board (SMB);
- wherein:
- converting the first message to the converted message is performed by the gateway application;
- and
- the converted message is intermediated as a data entry by an SMB application on the SMB.

- and
- the program instructions include:
- first program instructions programmed to sending a first message in a first format from a user device to a gateway device having a phone number, the gateway mobile device running a gateway application;
- second program instructions programmed to converting the first format to a second format, the second format being a suitable format to generate a converted message from the first message;
- and
- third program instructions programmed to submitting the converted message to a shared message board (SMB)
- wherein:
- converting the first message to the converted message is performed by the gateway application;
- and
- the converted message is intermediated as a data entry by an SMB application on the SMB.
