Abstract
An advanced automatic loop detection apparatus and method in short message service (SMS) two-way messaging is provided. The apparatus may receive a reply message from a mobile device, and detect whether a loop is occurring when the reply message is received from the mobile device.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an application dispatcher coupled to a database, and configured to receive a reply message from a mobile device;
- wherein the database comprises a loop detection procedure configured to detect whether a loop is occurring when the reply message is received from the mobile device, wherein the loop detection procedure determines whether the reply message corresponds to a previous reply message and to an input message stored in the database that terminates at the mobile device as a mobile terminated message.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a reply message from a mobile device by an application dispatcher coupled to a database;
- wherein the database comprises a loop detection procedure configured to detect whether a loop is occurring when the reply message is received from the mobile device, wherein the loop detection procedure determines whether the reply message corresponds to a previous reply message and to an input message stored in the database that terminates at the mobile device as a mobile terminated message.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions, that when read by a processor, cause the processor to perform:
- receiving a reply message from a mobile device by an application dispatcher coupled to a database;
- wherein the database comprises a loop detection procedure configured to detect whether a loop is occurring when the reply message is received from the mobile device, wherein the loop detection procedure determines whether the reply message corresponds to a previous reply message and to an input message stored in the database that terminates at the mobile device as a mobile terminated message.
