METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HANDLING MULTI-PART MESSAGES SENT TO E-MAIL CLIENTS FORM CELLULAR PHONES

摘要

A system and method (shown in Figure 2) for enabling users of existing mobile handsets and wireless architecture to create and mange messages composed of both text and multimedia attachments, and communicate these messages to email users, where they may be processed and utilized by standard email application software. The process of creating such a message includes the steps of using SMS to create a text message, with the destination email address included, as well as using a voice session to create a voice attachment. The text message is subsequently converted into the text of a conventional email message, and the voice message is attached to the email. The email message is then sent, for example by using an email server and email gateway, to the destination address.
