Accessing Computers via Text Messages

摘要

The present invention relates to a method to employ text messages via short message services (SMS) to remotely access computers for advanced data service. A remote wireless user can send text messages with specific query formats to a local short message service receiver, which is in turn, connected to a computer. The computer identifies the query and initiates a data service session to perform relevant tasks online or offline. Various additional devices can be linked to a local network using the same method.
