Abstract: Users of network based software applications typically interact with an application via a command line interface or a menu interface. Conventional voice-driven communication threads rely on a dedicated communication line (connection) to maintain a session context, or state, between a user and an application for the duration of a session. Such state information enables the application to reference a session context for the session duration, and employ the session context to maintain a state from previous atomic messages sent and received between the device and the application. By maintaining and referencing a session context indicative of previous messages, an application identifies an atomic message as corresponding to a particular session context, and employs the session context to process the message within the context, or environment, defined by the previous messages in the session. In this manner, a stateless protocol such as a text messaging protocol is operable to invoke stateful applications from the stateless infrastructure by employing the session context defined by the session of request and response messages.

Abstract translation: 基于网络的软件应用程序的用户通常通过命令行界面或菜单界面与应用程序交互。 传统的语音驱动通信线程在会话期间依赖于专用通信线路（连接）来维持用户与应用之间的会话上下文或状态。 这种状态信息使得应用程序能够引用会话持续时间的会话上下文，并且使用会话上下文来维护在设备和应用之间发送和接收的先前原子消息的状态。 通过维护和引用指示先前消息的会话上下文，应用程序将原子消息标识为对应于特定会话上下文，并且使用会话上下文来处理由会话中先前消息定义的上下文或环境内的消息 。 以这种方式，诸如文本消息协议的无状态协议可操作以通过采用由请求和响应消息的会话定义的会话上下文来从无状态基础设施调用有状态应用。

Abstract: An integrated messaging system uses existing messaging equipment to receive, store, retrieve and manage messages in media types and formats appropriate to each existing system using protocols which are specific to that system. Two or more systems are tightly coupled in that a message received in one system can be accessed from all systems. Coordination between messaging systems is achieved by a synchronizer system which periodically connects to each system by means of a standard interface and insures that messages created or received in one system are distributed or identified in all other messaging systems. Thus, the messaging systems can operate together even though they have different user interfaces, storage designs and formats and access and routing protocols. In one embodiment, a message received in one system is copied to the other system. In another embodiment, the header information in a message is preserved in a message created in the other system, but the message is not copied. The header information allows the message to be located and reproduced. In still another embodiment, one messaging system is designated as the single store for all messages.

Abstract: An integrated messaging system uses existing messaging systems to receive, store, retrieve and manage messages in media types and formats appropriate to each existing system using protocols which are specific to that system. Two or more systems are tightly coupled in that a message received in one system can be accessed from all other systems. Coordination between messaging systems is achieved by a synchronizer system running in one of the existing servers or in a stand-alone server. The synchronizer comprises a plurality of threads which sequentially examine corresponding mailboxes in each messaging system and update the message states in each system so that all message states correspond. In order to determine whether a message state has changed, the synchronizer maintains a state database which stores the state of each message in all messaging systems which are connected to the synchronizer. A further gatway thread is provided so that messages can be sent directly from one messaging system to another messaging system. The synchronizer is connected to each messaging system via a standard CMC interface so that it can log onto each messaging system as a trusted server and modify user's mailboxes without requiring a password.

Abstract translation: 集成的消息传递系统使用现有的消息传递系统来使用特定于该系统的协议来接收，存储，检索和管理适用于每个现有系统的媒体类型和格式的消息。 两个或多个系统紧密耦合，因为在一个系统中接收到的消息可以从所有其他系统访问。 通过在现有服务器之一或独立服务器中运行的同步器系统来实现消息系统之间的协调。 同步器包括多个线程，其顺序地检查每个消息收发系统中的相应邮箱，并更新每个系统中的消息状态，使得所有消息状态对应。 为了确定消息状态是否已经改变，同步器维护状态数据库，该状态数据库将连接到同步器的所有消息系统中的每个消息的状态存储起来。 提供进一步的gatway线程，使得消息可以从一个消息系统直接发送到另一消息系统。 同步器通过标准CMC接口连接到每个消息传递系统，以便它可以作为受信任的服务器登录到每个消息传递系统上，并修改用户邮箱而不需要密码。
