Description

SMS system

The present invention relates to a short message system, and more specifically, to a short message system that allows system users to apply for a dedicated code.

In traditional SMS services, when a text message is sent, the sender's phone number will be displayed on the receiving end. However, this method can reduce the effectiveness of SMS in some cases. In particular, when users receive SMS messages from unfamiliar phone numbers, they are likely to become suspicious and think that it is spam or fraudulent, and thus ignore or delete the SMS, which in turn affects the effectiveness of SMS delivery.

The existing US Patent No. 8954349B2 discloses an Ordering system and ancillary service control through text messaging, which is characterized by: A system allows control of an ancillary server function through a text messaging protocol. The text message allows a connected user to obtain goods or services through a network controller that selectively routes a self-addressed text message to a remote networked server that instantiates the server function based on content in the text message.The self-addressed electronic message (e.g., SMS message) is interpreted by a network component as needing invocation of a specified ordering service and,accordingly,is routed to a server that is tasked with administering,for example,order and delivery of a product or access to an account .The server,upon receipt of the self-addressed electronic message, may interact with the buyer using messaging to confirm the scope of the order and to fullfil the order. The system augments cellular phone functionality with a mechanism for placing orders using a looped text-yourself approach that engenders trust with users.

The technical field of the previous case is similar to this case. However, that case only sent the payment action, and did not realize the part of converting the action into real money flow, so there are doubts about collecting the money, and there is no cross-code reply (he mentioned using the 81581 special code to check the progress). This case has the application for the telecom operator's special code.

In the existing US Patent No. 10810623B2, an E-commerce messaging using SMS is disclosed, which is characterized by: a method for generating SMS business messages for processing by a software application, including: a data collection interface, receiving outgoing instructions and outgoing data from the software application; a message encoding engine encoding the output instructions and output data from the software application; using an encoding template to generate SMS business message classification SMS formatted for processing by a data processing system; when the scheduler is running, the processor processes the SMS for transmission to the recipient through the network.

The technical field of the previous case 2 is the same as that of this case. However, that case is less relevant to this case. It is a system for automatically generating and sending short messages and has a management interface.

In the existing U.S. Patent No. 8412169B2, a system and method for providing mobile device services using SMS communications is disclosed, which is characterized in that: the enhanced service platform has an interface for receiving communications from users requesting required data. The automatic response module parses the communication and retrieves the required data. The enhanced service platform arranges the desired data into a response message sent to the user, wherein the response message includes an embedded code corresponding to a link that allows the user to recontact the enhanced service platform. The operator assistance module receives communications from the user initiated via the link to provide further assistance with respect to the user's request.

The technical field of the previous case 3 is similar to this case. However, this case can provide complete reply content through statistics of user reply content, or user customization and preset templates. At the same time, this case integrates different channels, identifies user reply content and volume, and then responds. This case only provides system users with a rough reply strategy.

In the existing US Patent No. 10389880B1, a Short Message Service (SMS) response and interpretation application is disclosed, which is characterized in that the message processing application can receive at least one query message in a text message, email or other communication message format from a user device. The message can be received and processed to identify the content of the query message, thereby determining whether the query message should be sent to a field agent or whether the query message should be responded to using an automatic response stored in a database.

The technical field of the previous case 4 is different from that of this case. That case responded through keyword recognition. In addition to keyword recognition of the user's reply content, this case can also provide complete reply content by using user-defined preset templates. Therefore, it is not limited to replying only when the keywords match. This case also has a reply error tolerance mechanism, which can use Roman pinyin to recognize Chinese characters. After correct recognition, the system will give a reply to complete.

In the existing U.S. Patent No. 20200228480A1, a messaging environment for mobile device with multitask toolbar, search engine and keyboard control access to apps and centralized functionality is disclosed, which is characterized by: the messaging platform operates as a mobile device environment, enabling users to search for content and add content to text messages, as well as access other applications and functions. The messaging platform provides a user interface for constructing messages and a catalog containing various selectable elements (including movies, photos, etc.).

The database architecture can be relational or NoSQL, etc., and can be selected according to needs. In addition, the server 700 can be deployed locally or in the cloud, etc., and there is no restriction here. The present invention can also process the required information or calculation operations locally through the processor and memory of the user or user device itself.

The SMS system 100 of the present invention may have the following features and applications:

Feature 1: Exclusive code across telecom operators, regions, and countries

The exclusive code application module 200 has the function of connecting multiple telecom operators in series. It can apply for exclusive codes across telecom operators, regions, and countries to provide system users U with use. Therefore, the exclusive code will not be restricted by a single telecom operator, nor will it be restricted by region or country. This effect can be achieved through the following technical features: the telecom operator connection module 210 of the exclusive code application module 200 connects with the data of multiple telecom operators in series to obtain information on available exclusive codes. When the user actually uses the exclusive code, the same set of exclusive codes can be used to identify the location through the user device (such as identifying the international area code and number beginning sent to distinguish the location of the telecom operator), and provide the user with the exclusive code service corresponding to the region, thereby realizing exclusive codes for cooperation with multinational telecom operators.

Feature 2: Direct reply to SMS and its information recording method

The reply receiving module 400 directly receives the content of the user's SMS reply, identifies it, integrates the reply content of the same user, and presents the information on the back-end management system of the SMS system 100. Therefore, in terms of user experience, the user does not need to add additional links or operation steps in the SMS, such as jumping to an external website, and can directly reply to the SMS content on the SMS. The SMS system 100 can also receive the information of the reply content, realizing the integration of SMS and reply system.

Feature 3: Highly identifiable unique code

The exclusive code application module 200 can provide the system user U or the user with an exclusive code that is easy to remember and identify through high-recognition logic calculations, so as to improve the system user U's use of the system services and thereby achieve the desired advertising effect or marketing information exposure. For example, the logic calculation implementation is to avoid selecting long numbers or ordinary telephone numbers and select short codes to attract the user's attention and memory, thereby increasing exposure.

Feature 4: Unified unique code

The exclusive code application module 200 integrates the available exclusive codes of different telecom operators and applies for them, so that the exclusive code obtained by the system user U can be a unified exclusive code across telecom operators. In this way, the exclusive code will be unified for different telecom operators' devices used by different users or in different countries, thereby establishing corporate recognition and brand image.

Feature 5: Multi-channel identification

The reply receiving module 400 can identify the channel source of the SMS through the user's SMS information including but not limited to the telecommunications operator SMS API serial identification, international area code, etc., and record the information in the database 600 and the server 700. At the same time, the background management module 500 integrates users with the same SMS information and records the various channel information used by the user.

Feature 6: Identification of multiple replies to a single SMS

The reply receiving module 400 can identify the corresponding categories, questions, etc. of the reply content in a single SMS message by text regulations (for example, using commas to distinguish reply content), and record them. For example, there are five questions and the user is asked to answer them. The user answers "1, 3, 4, 5, 3", and five reply data can be identified and classified accordingly. The relevant implementation example is shown in Figure 8.

Feature 7: Reply fault tolerance mechanism

The reply receiving module 400 includes a reply error tolerance mechanism, which can identify errors in any language including but not limited to Chinese, English, etc. by including but not limited to spelling, vocabulary, grammar, etc. For example, the system can use Romanization to recognize Chinese characters. Even if the user enters an incorrect spelling such as "道得", the system can still correctly recognize that the user means "morality" and proceed with the subsequent process accordingly. The mechanism can be achieved through a technical detail implementation example. It includes a language model to learn spelling, vocabulary and grammar of any language including Chinese, English, etc. An error detector to identify errors including but not limited to spelling check, vocabulary check, grammar check, etc. An error repairer performs repair operations including but not limited to spelling replacement, vocabulary replacement, grammar repair, etc. This avoids errors and ensures that the system can obtain accurate response content.

Application 1: Evacuation application

The reply receiving module 400 can determine the user's approximate geographic location through the user's SMS information including but not limited to the telecommunications operator SMS API serial identification, international area code, etc., and provide the user with the nearest shelter address and guidance route.

Application 2: Voting application

The reply receiving module 400 is used to receive the voting results of multiple different user numbers (mobile user numbers) to conduct multiple voting activities at the same time, and further record the voting results in the database 600 and the server 700. At the same time, the background management module 500 can also be used to identify the voting results of users with the same information sketch to avoid repeated voting.

In summary, the present invention is an innovative system for SMS service, the core feature of which is the exclusive code application module 200. The exclusive code application module 200 establishes the exclusive code of the system user U, so that it can send SMS and receive replies across different communication operators, thus bringing many advantages.

In detail, in traditional SMS services, when a text message is sent, the recipient will display the sender's phone number. However, this method will reduce the effectiveness of SMS in some cases. In particular, when users receive SMS messages from unfamiliar phone numbers, they are likely to become suspicious and think that it is spam or fraudulent, and thus ignore or delete the SMS, which in turn affects the effectiveness of SMS delivery.

The present invention can solve this problem through the exclusive code application module 200. System user U can apply for the exclusive code he wants, and this exclusive code will be displayed on the receiving end's mobile phone as the source of the SMS. In this way, the SMS received by the user is no longer from an unfamiliar number, but a familiar short code that is exclusive to him, thereby improving the user's recognition of the authenticity of the SMS and increasing the opening rate and reply rate of the SMS.

What is more worth mentioning is that the exclusive code of the present invention integrates the communication operators, and obtains the exclusive code used by each telecommunications operator by connecting with the systems of all communication operators, so that the system users U and users can use the same exclusive code to send and receive in various communication networks. This also means that the system users U are no longer limited to the coverage of a specific communication operator, and can even cross national boundaries, making the exclusive short code service more international and global.

This feature enables system users U to use SMS services more flexibly, not only for personal communication, but also for commercial marketing and promotion. For example, a multinational company can apply for a universal unique code, so that global system users U only need to enter the same unique code to enjoy the services provided by the company, such as global food ordering services, voting surveys or other purposes.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only for illustrating the technical ideas and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly. They cannot be used to limit the patent scope of the present invention. In other words, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the patent scope of the present invention.
