Definitions
- the present invention relates in general to the telecommunications field and, in particular, to methods and apparatuses for use in accessing and retrieving messages in response to e-mail notifications.
- message centers are typically hardware-based facilities used to store voice messages, facsimile messages, e-mail messages, etc. These messages can be accessed and retrieved in a number of different ways that depend on the type of message stored. For example, a telephone can be used to retrieve a voice mail message from a voice mail message center, while a facsimile message is typically accessed and retrieved using a digital processor which is executing specialized facsimile software.
- Digital processing systems that are executing specialized software programs are also used to access and retrieve e-mail messages from message centers (commonly referred to as "mailboxes"). These processing systems can take a number of different forms. For example, in a local area network (LAN), e-mail messages can be transferred between network users under the control of a centralized network server. Typically, the network server is specialized software, which is executed by a digital processor to perform the e-mail message transmission, storage, notification, accessing and receiving functions. The hardware that supports the network server provides the memory storage locations that comprise the network's message center or mailbox.
- LAN local area network
- e-mail messages can be transferred between network users under the control of a centralized network server.
- the network server is specialized software, which is executed by a digital processor to perform the e-mail message transmission, storage, notification, accessing and receiving functions.
- the hardware that supports the network server provides the memory storage locations that comprise the network's message center or mailbox.
- SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
- TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
- the SMTP defines the control messages used in sending the e-mail message, including such functions as verifying that the connection is proper, identifying the sender, negotiating the transmission parameters, and transmitting the message.
- Other known protocols are used when an e-mail message is retrieved from a mailbox and transferred to a recipient's mail software program.
- TCP/IP Internet Protocol/IP
- WWW World-Wide Web
- Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator are typical WWW-aware mail readers, which are software programs that operate on a user's computer.
- the mail reader can be used to access and retrieve documents (e.g., e-mail messages) from sites on the Internet and display them at the user' s computer.
- An e-mail message is just one type of document that can be accessed and retrieved by such a mail reader, but the document retrieved in this instance is composed of text files.
- the conventional method used to transfer e-mail messages from senders to recipients is called a "store and forward" method.
- the user When a user composes an e-mail message on a local computer, the user includes the address of the intended recipient.
- the user's return address is electronically affixed to the message.
- the intended recipient's address provides enough information about the message's final destination so that the various computers encountered on the Internet, each of which temporarily stores and then forwards the message, can determine where the message should go next.
- the message is transferred from computer to computer until it reaches its final destination, which is typically a mailbox provided by the intended recipient's service provider.
- the service provider stores the incoming message in the destination mailbox.
- the intended recipient's mail software program polls the provider's server for new messages. These new messages can be e-mail notification messages about e-mail, voicemail, facsimile messages, missed calls, or any other type of electronic message.
- the intended recipient can then take steps to retrieve the electronic message.
- the intended recipient can start the WWW-aware mail reader and use it to follow the prescribed links to the correct e-mail message page, and then on to the message location.
- the mail reader can then be used to retrieve the message text for viewing at the intended recipient's computer.
- the typical procedure (assuming a Windows ® -like environment) followed by an intended recipient to access and retrieve the new message is to start the WWW-aware mail reader and click on an e-mail icon with a mouse.
- the recipient clicks on "read message” from a drop down menu.
- the next step is to click on the new message which is shown in the "inbox” (assuming the inbox is already selected).
- the new message is then retrieved by the mail reader for viewing at the recipient's monitor.
- the intended recipient typically dials the voicemail mailbox number, and inputs a series of numbers to access the voicemail message.
- a significant problem that arises when such access and retrieval procedures are followed is that they require numerous manual steps to complete, which results in a substantial and unnecessary expenditure of time and system resources.
- the above-described process for using a WWW browser to access electronic messages via the Internet can have further disadvantages.
- transmission of the message to the intended recipient's terminal can require a disadvantageously long transmission time; and the recipient's terminal must have enough memory available to accommodate the entire message.
- streaming can be used for immediate response and to reduce memory use, inadequate bandwidth may prove to be a bottleneck when receiving voice messages. It is therefore desirable to: reduce the time it takes to retrieve an electronic message; facilitate a user's access to an electronic message once notification of the message has been received; and minimize the use of system resources in accessing electronic messages. It is further desirable to avoid the aforementioned disadvantages of using a browser to access long electronic messages.
- the present invention provides a method and apparatus for embedding or attaching a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) which pinpoints the electronic message storage address or location, in or to the e-mail notification message sent to the intended recipient. Once notified, the intended recipient can, in just one step, use a
- URL Uniform Resource Locator
- the WWW-aware mail reader to click on a link in the notification message window.
- the mail reader can thereby directly access the message storage address or location and retrieve the message for viewing or listening by the recipient.
- the URL can be tagged with a random encryption key.
- the invention also permits an intended recipient of a stored electronic message to interactively elect to have the message delivered via a telephone connection instead of a data network.

- the time and resource problems associated with using a WWW-aware mail reader e.g., browser
- embedding (or attaching) a URL which pinpoints the message storage address, in (or to) the e-mail notification message sent to the intended recipient.
- the intended recipient can, in just one step, use the WWW-aware mail reader to click on a link in the notification message window.
- the mail reader can thereby directly access the electronic message location and retrieve the message for viewing or listening.
- the URL can be tagged with a security key, such as, for example, a random encryption key.
- FIGURE 1 is a simplified block diagram of an exemplary system that can be used to implement the method and apparatus of the present invention.
- the system (10) can include, for example, a service node 18 connected for two-way data communications with a public (or private) data network (e.g., LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.) 14.
- a public (or private) data network e.g., LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.
- Node 18 can be, for example, a host processor, communications controller, server, workstation, personal computer, digital switch, gateway controller, or any other appropriate network- connected device that can function to transmit, receive and store e-mail and other electronic message data.
- service node 18 can be, for example, a mobile services switching center (MSC), a Gateway MSC (GMSC), or a home location register (HLR) in a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN).
- MSC mobile services switching center
- GMSC Gateway MSC
- HLR home location register
- service node 18 can be a central exchange in a wireline network such as a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), or an MSC in a packet switched data network.
- PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
- MSC Packed Telephone Network
- a user can communicate with the network 14 by the use of specialized software (12) running on a digital processor.
- the software is preferably a WWW-aware mail reader (e.g., browser, such as, for example, Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Netscape's Navigator), which can run on the recipient's personal computer.
- the mail reader can reside and run in any appropriate wireless terminal (e.g., a fixed or mobile terminal in a
- the network 14 is connected for two-way data communications with a network server 16.
- server 16 is preferably a conventional WWW server.
- FIGURE 2 is a sequence diagram that illustrates an exemplary method that can be used for accessing and retrieving electronic messages from a public (or private) data network, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the method (100) begins at step 102, when a new electronic message arrives and is stored in the service node 18 (e.g., at a specific location in a message center in the service node).
- the service node 18 embeds or appends a URL in or to an e-mail notification message, which is to notify the intended recipient that a new electronic message has arrived and identify the precise address or location of the stored message in that network (e.g., in the service node 18).
- the e-mail notification message is then transferred to the intended recipient's mailbox.
- This notification message is eventually noticed by the recipient's WWW-aware mail reader program 12.
- An example of an e-mail notification message with such an embedded URL is shown in FIGURE 3.
- the URL for example, can be a link to a stored e-mail message, voicemail message, facsimile message, a link to send a facsimile message to a certain facsimile machine, a link to set up a phone call to a party who sent a voicemail message, or it can represent a URL-to-call back function implemented in a service node.
- the intended recipient's WWW-aware mail reader program 12 polls the mailbox and receives the notification e-mail (when the recipient's personal computer is on-line). Once notified about the new message, the recipient can activate the mail reader (12) and click on the message link in the notification window (step 106).
- the WWW server 16 interprets the message identification and location information in the URL, and transfers the new message identification to the service node 18.
- the service node 18 uses the message identification and location information (e.g., a link) to find the message at its precise location in the service node 18.
- the service node transmits the new message to the WWW server 16, where it can be viewed via the recipient's web browser 12 (e.g., e- mail or a facsimile message) or heard (e.g. voicemail).
- FIGURE 4 illustrates diagrammatically a system similar to that of FIGURE 1, but differing from FIGURE 1 in that the service node 18 is coupled to a conventional telecommunication station, such as a telephone or facsimile machine 41, via the public switched telephone network (PSTN), and is also coupled to a conventional wireless telecommunication device, such as a wireless telephone or facsimile machine, via a public land mobile radio network (PLMR).
- PSTN public switched telephone network
- PLMR public land mobile radio network
- a message recipient can use the web browser 12 to access an electronic message stored in the service node 18, and also direct the service node 18 to deliver the electronic message via a telephone link (PSTN or PLMR) to any of the devices indicated at 41 and 43.
- the message recipient can direct the service node 18 to deliver the electronic message to a facsimile machine via PSTN.
- the message recipient can direct the service node 18 to deliver the electronic message to a wireless telephone via PLMR.
- FIGURE 5 shows one example of the aforementioned process of using the browser 12 to access an electronic message and to arrange to receive the message via a telephone connection to, for example, a telephone or facsimile machine. It is first determined at 51 whether a message has been received. For example, the decision at 51 would be answered yes when the recipient's browser 12 polls the recipient's mailbox and receives a new e-mail notification message. Once notified about the new message, the recipient can, at 52, use the browser to follow the prescribed links to the correct message page, as is conventional.
- FIGURE 6 illustrates one example of a message page displayed to the recipient by the browser 12. As shown in FIGURE 6, the message page (or message web page) includes a plurality of message entries which respectively provide information about a plurality of the recipient's messages.
- FIGURE 7 illustrates in more detail an example of the message entries shown in FIGURE 6.
- a typical message entry according to the present invention includes an information portion 71 which displays, for example, the sender of the message, the date and time that the message was received, the type of message (e.g., e-mail, voice mail, facsimile) and the length of the message.
- the message entry also includes a deliver button (or link) 72, a deliver by phone button (or link) 73 and a skip button 74. If the message recipient clicks on the deliver button 72, then the message will be delivered via the data network 14 of FIGURE 4 in conventional fashion. If the message recipient clicks on the skip button 74, then the message will be skipped for the time being.
- the web browser 12 will send to the service node 18 a communication including the identification of the message to be delivered along with a URL which designates the telephone number of the destination to which the service node is to deliver the message via telephone.
- the step at 53 of choosing the phone link in the message page corresponds to the above-described clicking on the deliver by phone button (or link) 73.
- the phone link has been chosen in the message page (i.e., button 73 has been clicked on)
- the message is received at the designated telephone, facsimile machine or other telecommunication station. Thereafter, notification of the next new message is awaited at 51.
- the decision at 53 may depend on the message length shown in the FIGURE 7 message entry. That is, if the message is relatively long (e.g., exceeds an empirically predetermined length), then phone delivery may be chosen to avoid the above- described problems created by long messages. If phone delivery is not chosen at 53, then the data network is used for delivery at 56 and 57, as is conventional.
- the URL that is sent to the service node 18 via the network 14 will designate a predetermined (and previously programmed) telephone number to which the message is to be delivered by the service node.
- the browser 12 can present to the message recipient the exemplary window illustrated in FIGURE 8. If the recipient wishes to have the message delivered to a telephone number other than a predetermined default telephone number, then the recipient types in the desired telephone number at 81 and clicks on the deliver button (or link) 82.
- the destination URL produced by the browser 12 will designate the telephone number at 81 as the desired destination for delivery of the message. If the recipient simply clicks on the deliver button 82 without entering a telephone number at 81 , then the destination URL will designate the default telephone number to be the delivery destination, as described above with respect to FIGURE 7.
- FIGURE 9 is a flow diagram which illustrates exemplary operations of the browser 12 in executing the deliver by phone options of FIGURES 7 and 8.
- the browser initially waits at 91 for the recipient to click on the deliver by phone button 73.
- the recipient has clicked on the deliver by phone button 73, either the default telephone number is obtained at 94 (see broken line path), or the window of FIGURE 8 is presented to the recipient, in which case the browser determines at 92 whether or not a telephone number has been supplied at 81 in FIGURE 8. If so, then the phone number from 81 is obtained at 93. If no telephone number is supplied at 81 in FIGURE 8, then the default number is used at 94.
- FIGURE 10 is a sequence diagram which illustrates an exemplary sequence that permits the message recipient to receive the message via one of the PSTN or PLMR of FIGURE 4.
- the message is received and stored in the service node in conventional fashion at 120.
- the browser clicks on the phone link (for example, either button 73 of FIGURE 7 or button 82 of FIGURE 8) the browser at 121 transmits to the server 16 (see FIGURE 4) via the network 14 message identification information and the destination URL designating the desired telephone number to which the message is to be delivered.
- the server relays the information to the service node via the network 14.
- the service node interprets the URL to determine the desired call destination, and then sets up a suitable telephone connection to one of the devices 41 and 43 (see FIGURE 4) via one of PSTN and
- the service node delivers the message via the telephone connection at 125.
- FIGURE 11 illustrates exemplary operations of the service node 18 in response to a request to deliver a message stored in the service node. If telephone delivery is not selected at 131 , then the service node performs the conventional delivery function at 132. If telephone delivery has been selected at 131, then it is determined at 133 whether or not the stored message is a facsimile message. If so, then the service node calls the selected facsimile machine and delivers the facsimile message at 134. If the message is not a facsimile message, it is then determined at 135 whether the message is a voice message. If so, then the service node calls the desired telephone and delivers the voice message at 136.
- the message is neither a facsimile message (133) nor a voice message (135), then the message is assumed to be e-mail or a text file (or files), so the service node will perform a suitable conversion of the message to voice (139) or facsimile (138) depending whether the destination station is a facsimile receiver or a voice receiver
- the service node 18 calls and delivers either a facsimile message at 134 or a voice message at 136. After either a voice message or a facsimile message is delivered at 136 or 134, the service node waits at 131 until the next request for telephone delivery is received from network 14.
