Abstract
A note data message is associated with a first user equipment (UE) device and is sent to a second UE device when the second UE device communicates with the first UE device. The note data message is received and stored in a network server. A request is received from the second UE device to establish a communication session with the first UE device. If the first UE device has authorized the sending of the message to the second device, the note data message is sent to the second UE device independent of any communication session established between the first and second UE devices.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a server and from a first user equipment (UE) device, a communication request to establish a communication session with a second UE device;
- determining, by the server, whether the second UE device is associated with a note data message;
- determining, by the server, whether the second UE device has authorized sharing the note data message with the first UE device;
- requesting, by the server and based on the determining whether the second UE device has authorized sharing the note data message with the first UE device, a notes application server to send the note data message to the first UE device,
- wherein the determining whether the second UE device has authorized sharing the note data message and the requesting the notes application server to send the note data message are performed independently of establishment of the communication session between the first UE device and the second UE device;
- receiving, by the server and prior to receiving the communication request from the first UE device, an update request that includes information requesting that the note data message be stored;
- sending, by the server and based on the update request, the note data message to the notes application server for storage;
- updating, by the server, a subscriber profile of a user of the second UE device;
- and
- sending, by the server, after receiving the update request, and to the notes application server, a response message indicating that the subscriber profile has been updated.

A server comprising:
- a network interface, configured to support a first network connection with a first user equipment (UE) device, a second network connection with a second UE device, and a third network connection with a notes application server;
- and
- a processor coupled to the network interface and configured to:
- receive, from the first UE device, a communication request to establish a communication session with the second UE device;
- determine whether the second UE device is associated with a note data message;
- determine whether the second UE device has authorized sharing the note data message with the first UE device;
- request, based on the determining whether the second UE device has authorized sharing the note data message with the first UE device, the notes application server to send the note data message to the first UE device,
- wherein the determining whether the second UE has authorized sharing the note data message and the requesting the notes application server to send the note data message are performed independently of establishment of the communication session between the first UE device and the second UE device;
- receive, prior to receiving the communication request from the first UE device, an update request that includes information requesting that the note data message be stored;
- send, based on the update request, the note data message to the notes application server for storage;
- update a subscriber profile of a user of the second UE device;
- and
- send, after receiving the update request and to the notes application server, a response message indicating that the subscriber profile has been updated.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a server, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a first user equipment (UE) device, a communication request to establish a communication session with a second UE device;
- determine whether the second UE device is associated with a note data message;
- determine whether the second UE device has authorized sharing the note data message with the first UE device;
- request, based on the determining whether the second UE device has authorized sharing the note data message with the first UE device, a notes application server to send the note data message to the first UE device;
- wherein the determining whether the second UE has authorized sharing the note data message and the requesting the notes application server to send the note data message are performed independently of establishment of the communication session between the first UE device and the second UE device;
- receive, prior to receiving the communication request from the first UE device, an update request that includes information requesting that the note data message be stored;
- send, based on the update request, the note data message to the notes application server for storage;
- update a subscriber profile of a user of the second UE device;
- and
- send, after receiving the update request and to the notes application server, a response message indicating that the subscriber profile has been updated.
