SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ATTACHING AN ADVERTISEMENT TO AN SMS MESSAGE FOR WIRELESS TRANSMISSION

摘要

A monitoring and alert system includes a wireless device that sends a monitoring request (804) to a remote server. When the conditions specified by the monitoring message request are met (808), the server generates an SMS alert message. The server determines (810) themaximum length in characters of the SMS message and whether thereis sufficient space remaining (816) for an advertisement. If sufficient space is available, the server generates an advertisement (818) and appends it to the SMS alert message (822). The alert message with appended advertising is then sent (824) to the wireless device.
