TEXT MESSAGE INCLUDING A CONTEXTUAL ATTRIBUTE OF A MOBILE DEVICE
Disclosed are a system, method, and article of manufacture of a text message including a contextual attribute of a mobile device. A context-enriched text message is prepared by a process that includes the step of providing a text-message component generated with a mobile device. A context data including information about a contextual attribute of the mobile device is provided. The text-message component and the context data are associated. The context data may be relevant to a meaning of the text-message component.
1 . A method using the results of providing a text message generated by a mobile device;
identifying a message component of the text message; determining a contextual attribute of the mobile device; and, deriving a context data from the contextual attribute;
comprising:
generating a context-enriched message comprising the message component and the context data.
2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:
communicating the context-enriched message to an element of a cellular network.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the contextual attribute of the mobile device comprises a geolocation of the mobile device.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the text message is composed by a human user.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the text message comprises a multimedia message service (MMS) message.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the text message comprises a short message service (SMS) message.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device comprises a smart phone.
8 . A context-enriched text message prepared by a process comprising:
providing a text-message component generated with a mobile device;
providing a context data, wherein the context data comprises information about a contextual attribute of the mobile device;
associating the text-message component and the context data;
including the text-message component and the context data in a context-enriched text message.
9 . The context-enriched text message prepared by the process of claim 8 , wherein the context data is relevant to a meaning of the text-message component.
10 . The context-enriched text message prepared by the process of claim 9 further comprising:
providing an instruction to a graphical user interface of a receiving mobile device to present the context data as a hyperlink embedded within the context-enriched text message.
11 . The context-enriched text message prepared by the process of claim 9 , wherein the hyperlink references a webpage with additional information about the context data.
12 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
providing a short message from a first mobile device;
processing the short message through at least one server, said processing further comprising:
parsing the short message;
generating the short message's context data;
associating the context data with the short message; and,
encoding the short message and the context data into a format transmittable through a communication network.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the communication network comprises a cellular network.
14 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the communication network comprises an IP network.
15 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the server comprises at least a cultural database comprising a database of prior short messages.
16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the database of prior short messages comprises a token and a first word structure pattern.
17 . The method of claim 16 further comprising:
comparing an indeterminate token in the short message against the token contained in the cultural database to find a best match.
18 . The method of claim 17 further comprising:
comparing a second word structure pattern of the short message against the first word structure pattern contained in the cultural database to find the best match.
19 . The method of claim 18 further comprising:
using the best match for the indeterminate token and second word structure pattern of the short message to establish a translation linkage between the short message and context data.
20 . The method of claim 12 , wherein a machine is caused to perform the method of claim 12 when a set of instructions in a form of a machine-readable medium is executed by the machine.
