Abstract
A global messaging system delivers messages to user devices by employing aliases, permissions, and protocols. A sender sends a message to an alias. The message is transmitted to devices associated with the alias. The system compares the message length to a maximum message length and modifies the transmission of the message when the message length exceeds the maximum message length by sending a concatenated message and adding a header to the message. Accordingly, messages can be delivered to recipients without the need to know a physical device address or have the ability to directly communicate with the device.
Claims2
A method for transmitting a message to a recipient, the recipient associated with at least one identifier, the identifier is associated with at least one communication device, comprising:
- receiving a message;
- receiving a recipient identifier for said message, the recipient identifier associated with at least one communication device;
- verifying that the recipient identifier is available to the system;
- verifying that the sender has permission to send a message to the identifier by referring to the permission associated with the identifier;
- transmitting the message to at least one communication device associated with the identifier;
- retrieving a maximum message length for a communication device associated with the identifier;
- determining the message length of the received message;
- comparing the message length of the received message to the maximum message length;
- and
- modifying the transmission of the message when the message length of the received message exceeds the maximum message length by sending a concatenated message.
