An electronic document delivery system and methods of its use are provided. A document, preferably in a portable format, is forwarded to a remote server (e.g. using HTTP to "push" the document to the server). The server sends a generic notification of the document to an intended recipient, and the recipient can download the document from the server using local protocols. In preferred embodiments, the invention is used for the controlled delivery of portable documents from a sender to a large number of recipients, using a network of servers that route the documents and notifications in a store and forward manner, while providing routing and accounting information back to the sender.

Electronic document delivery system in which notification of said electronic document is sent to a recipient thereof

A data transmission system is disclosed which optimizes transfer and updates of information between systems by providing difference information between the systems. The system transmits data packages having instructions for manipulating user data. The data packages include a header identifying the respective packages, as well as transaction objects for effecting a change to user data on a device having object instructions.

Data transfer and synchronization system

A document delivery architecture dynamically generates a private Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to distribute information. Each private URL (“PURL”) uniquely identifies an intended recipient of a document, the document or set of documents to be delivered, and (optionally) other parameters specific to the delivery process. The intended recipient of a document uses the PURL to retrieve the document. The server, upon retrieval of the document, customizes the behavior of the retrieval based upon attributes included in the PURL, as well as log information associated with the retrieval in a data base. This architecture and usage of PURLs enables secure document delivery and tracking of document receipt.

Private, trackable URLs for directed document delivery

The present invention is directed to systems and methods for detecting unsolicited and threatening communications and communicating threat information related thereto. Threat information is received from one or more sources; such sources can include external security databases and threat information data from one or more application and/or network layer security systems. The received threat information is reduced into a canonical form. Features are extracted from the reduced threat information; these features in conjunction with configuration data such as goals are used to produce rules. In some embodiments, these rules are tested against one or more sets of test data and compared against the same or different goals; if one or more tests fail, the rules are refined until the tests succeed within an acceptable margin of error. The rules are then propagated to one or more application layer security systems.

Systems and methods for message threat management

The present invention provides a system and method for filtering unsolicited electronic commercial messages. A system and method according to the present invention for screening out unsolicited commercial messages comprises the steps of receiving a message from a sender, sending a challenge back to the sender, receiving a response to the challenge, and determining if the response is a proper response.

Method and system for filtering electronic messages

A user, after accessing (41) the communication system (10), selects (42) a paged email service option. In response, the communication system (10) dispatches (43) a service logic block to a service node proxy (110) of an email system (101-105). The service logic block is deposited (44) in a site-specific service logic block repository (112) of the email system (101-105). An email monitor is established (45) for the email system (101-105). Once established, the email system sends (46) an acknowledgment to the communication system (10). The user is then notified (47) of receipt of the acknowledgment.

Method of establishing an email monitor responsive to a wireless communications system user

A communication unit (19) operates to retrieve (212) an email data message. An associated audio reply address is determined for the email message (217). The communication unit (19), directs a reply to the associated audio reply address. An audio communication is then originated to the associated audio reply address (204).

Method of originating a call in a communication system

A user, after accessing (41) the communication system, selects (42) a paged email service option. In response, the communication system dispatches (43) a service logic block to a service node proxy of an email system. The service logic block is deposited (44) in a site-specific service logic block repository of the email system. An email monitor is established (45) for the email system. Once established, the email system sends (46) an acknowledgment to the communication system. The user is then notified (47) of receipt of the acknowledgment.
