`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
`to com-
`[0002] The present
`relates
`invention
`in general
`to communica-
`munications devices and more particularly
`tions devices that support SMS messaging.
`[0003] 2. Background of Related Art
`[0004] Personal
`devices
`communication
`have
`gained
`widespread popularity
`and have dramatically
`changed
`the
`industry. Such communications devices
`telecommunications
`include a keypad for entering numbers and text and a small
`display screen for viewing
`information. To maintain popu-
`these devices have been adding
`features,
`such as
`larity,
`internal phone books, clocks, calendars, calculators, call
`related features, games and Short Message Service (SMS).
`[0005] SMS has become
`increasingly
`amongst
`popular
`mobile phone users. SMS, as defined within the GSM digital
`is very popular
`in Europe,
`mobile phone
`standard,
`the
`Middle East, Asia, Africa and some parts of North America.
`The GSM Association announced
`that worldwide, 9 billion
`SMS messages were sent during August
`they have
`and
`that for December 2000, 10 billion
`to 15 billion
`predicted
`SMS messages will be sent.
`
`[0006] SMS provides
`to send and receive
`the capability
`to and from mobile telephones. The text can
`text messages
`combination. Each
`be words or numbers or an alphanumeric
`is up to 160 characters
`in length when Latin
`short message
`alphabets are used and 70 characters
`in length when non-
`Latin alphabets such as Arabic and Chinese are used. Non-
`text based short messages for example,
`in binary format are
`also supported.
`[0007] SMS is a store and forward service. That is, short
`messages are not sent directly from sender to recipient, but
`always via an SMS Center. Each mobile telephone network
`that supports SMS must have at least one messaging center
`the short messages.
`to handle and manage
`[0008] Short messages can be sent and received simulta-
`neously with GSM voice, data and fax calls because short
`travel over and above the radio channel using the
`messages
`signaling path. To use SMS, users need a subscription
`to a
`that supports SMS and a mobile
`mobile
`telephone network
`that supports SMS. SMS messages are usually sent
`phone
`between mobile phones. However, messages can also be sent
`to/from a fax machine, a PC or an Internet address.
`[0009] Short messages can be originated
`in several dilfer-
`itself or the
`the mobile phone keypad
`from
`ent ways,
`keyboard on another device, such as a hand held computer
`connected to the mobile phone, or via software connected to
`a modem. However originated, all short messages are sent
`initially to a SMS Center. Once the SMS Center has received
`link between
`the communication
`the short message,
`the
`phone and the SMS center is terminated and the SMS Center
`recipient. The SMS
`to the specified
`routes
`the message
`adds the Originating Address such
`Center also automatically
`as the sender's mobile phone number and a timestamp
`to the
`short message. Received short messages are stored in the
`mobile phone's memory or in the SIM (Subscriber Identity
`Module) card.
`
`[0010] Upon receipt of a new short message by a mobile
`phone, the mobile phone notifies the user that a message has
`been received, usually with a ring tone or vibration. The
`icon on its
`mobile phone usually also displays a message
`display. The user can then access and read the message by
`the phone. Some
`commands
`to
`the appropriate
`issuing
`the assignee of
`phones provided by Motorola Corporation,
`the present application, even have an Autoread SMS feature
`that allows the immediate viewing of short messages with-
`out any button presses at all. Once received, the recipient can
`save or delete the message as desired.
`[0011] Mobile phone users routinely use SMS to commu-
`nicate with each other. Typically,
`such person-to-person
`is used to send a greeting,
`information,
`messaging
`request
`a meeting, or to tell someone
`something. Such
`arrange
`from
`are usually originated
`the mobile phone
`messages
`is short
`keypad. When the information
`to be communicated
`or it would
`take too long to have a full conversation or
`someone is traveling overseas or not available to take a voice
`call, SMS is an ideal messaging medium. Network operators
`typically charge the same price to send a short message
`to
`in the same room as they do to someone
`someone
`traveling
`their mobile phone. Further, because short
`overseas with
`to mobile phones that are
`messages are proactively delivered
`typically carried by the user at all times, SMS is often more
`than email.
`convenient
`[0012] SMS is also commonly used for notifying mobile
`phone users that they have new voice, fax or Internet mail
`(unified messaging). Whenever
`messages waiting
`a new
`into the mailbox, an alert by SMS
`is dispatched
`message
`the user of this fact. SMS messaging has also been
`informs
`used for ring tone and image downloading. SMS can also be
`used to deliver a wide range of information
`to mobile phone
`users from stock share prices, sports scores, weather,
`flight
`lottery results, jokes to horo-
`information, news headlines,
`scopes.
`[0013] In order to simplify
`the creation of short messages,
`text input algo-
`some phone makers now provide predictive

`the user
`that anticipate which word
`to
`rithms
`text input is said to significantly
`generate. Predictive

`of forwarding
`is that it allows a received message to be sent

`Despite the addition of predictive
`text input facilities, it is
`to type SMS messages using a
`time consuming

`are still needed.
`

`ing a visual output or display 12 and an audio output 14 and
`a keypad 16 and a microphone 18.
`input means
`including
`
`The keypad 16 has a plurality of keys such as numeric keys
`that can be used
`characters
`to enter alphanumeric
`and
`function keys, such as left and right arrows, menu, OK, etc.
`The keypad is thus used to enter both data and commands or
`instructions. The microphone 18 also is used to enter instruc-
`tions and data.
`
`[0025] Referring to FIG. 2, a high level block diagram of
`the circuitry 20 of the telephone 10 is shown. The circuitry
`20 includes a controller 22, a memory 24, a display driver 26
`and input circuitry 28. The controller 22 includes a proces-
`sor, such as a digital signal processor and has one or more
`internal memories (not shown) containing a control program
`(ROM), set-up data, and a scratch pad area, as is understood
`by those of skill in the art. The memory 24 is connected
`to
`the controller 22 and is used to store data and/or program
`code. The data stored in the memory 24 can include phone
`book data, calendar and clock data, stored messages, etc.
`The memory 24 is preferably a non-volatile

`
`[0026] The display driver 26 is connected to the controller
`22 and receives and process data from the controller 22 for
`displaying on the display 12. The input circuit 28 is also
`to the controller 22. The input circuit 28 receives
`connected
`input data (commands and data) from the keypad 16 and the
`microphone 18. The circuitry 20 processes the input data and

`in which
`information. According
`to the present invention,
`in addition
`the memory 24
`to the well known phone book database,
`includes a space for storing received short messages and a
`address database. The forwarding address data-
`forwarding
`that may be selected by the user
`base stores phone numbers
`that received short messages
`such
`are forwarded
`to the
`selected address.
`
`[0028] The telephone 10 is capable of receiving a SMS
`short message, also known as a Protocol Data Unit (PDU).
`A short message includes two parts, header information and
`short message text, which is also referred to as the user data.

`is sent
`from a mobile telephone or other device to an SMS Center.
`The SMS center looks at the header information, adds some
`additional header information, and then tries to send the user

`
`address. The format of
`data to the recipient or destination
`short messages, sending and receiving of short messages,
`and the operations of SMS centers are well known
`to those
`of skill in the art.
`[0029] Referring now to FIG. 3, the telephone 10 includes
`program code for forwarding a received short message from
`the telephone 10 to another device or telephone. FIG. 3 is a
`flow diagram of a sequence of steps of such a call forward-
`in accordance with the present
`ing feature
`invention.
`[0030] The sequence of steps begins with the telephone 10
`receiving a short message as indicated at 30. Once a short
`the message can be immediately dis-
`is received,
`message
`receipt of the
`played on the screen 12 or an icon indicating
`message can be displayed or otherwise
`indicated
`to the user.
`In either case, the message is stored in the memory 24. When
`to read the message,
`the user issues
`the user desires
`the
`commands as understood by those of ordinary
`appropriate
`skill in the art, until the message is displayed on the screen,
`step 32. At step 34, the program
`code of the present
`invention olfers a plurality of options
`to the user. A first
`option, step 36, is to save the message,
`in which case the
`in the memory 24. Once the message
`is
`is saved
`message
`routine proceeds
`saved, the message forwarding
`to an end
`step 48. A second option, step 38, is to delete the message,
`is not saved to the memory 24.
`in which case the message
`Like the save message step 36, the delete message step 38
`is proceeded by the end step 48.
`[0031] The user may also choose to edit the message,
`in
`which case the program executes step 40. The message
`the user to edit the text of the message. As
`editor allows
`previously discussed, message editors are well known, with
`text input. After
`some message editors employing predictive
`the message text, the user is offered
`the user finishes editing
`the option to send the edited message at step 46. By inputting
`the proper commands, such as entering a destination address
`or phone number and issuing a send command,
`the edited
`message is sent via an SMS center to the destination address.
`is sent, step 46, the program code pro-
`Once the message
`ceeds to the end step 48.
`
`[0032] The save, delete and edit message options
`illus-
`trated in steps 36, 38, 40 are understood by those of skill in
`in accordance with the present
`the art. However,
`invention,
`code also olfers an option
`to forward
`the program
`the
`received message at step 42. At step 42, a list of forwarding
`is displayed on the display 12. The list includes
`addresses
`phone numbers previously added to the list by the user. The
`the list and at step 44 select one or
`user may scroll through
`more of the numbers. Step 44 also allows the user to add one
`to the list. After the user has selected
`or more new numbers
`is to
`or specified the phone numbers
`to which the message
`step 46 is executed. At step 46, the short
`be forwarded,
`message is sent via the SMS center to the selected destina-
`tions. In order to forward
`to multiple destina-
`the message
`the message is
`tions, in the presently preferred embodiment,
`the SMS center multiple
`times, once for each
`to
`sent
`destination address. Thus, the program code directs the short
`to be forwarded
`to the other device using
`message
`the
`selected forwarding
`address.
`[0033] However, as will be understood by those of ordi-
`nary skill in the art, with the appropriate programming
`at the
`SMS center or by allowing
`the user to define forwarding
`address lists stored at the SMS center, it is possible
`to send
`
`the message once to the SMS center, with the header portion
`of the message identifying a pointer to a multiple destination
`address stored in a memory at the SMS center.
`
`to FIG. 4, a flow diagram of a
`[0034] Referring now
`sequence of steps of set up options of the call forwarding
`is shown. The call forwarding
`set up options pref-
`feature
`erably are accessed via selecting an option
`from a main
`menu. Once the call forwarding set up option is selected, the
`telephone 10 program code proceeds to step 50, which is the
`step for activating automatic message forwarding. That is,
`is activated, messages
`when automatic message forwarding
`received by the telephone 10 are forwarded
`in accordance
`the selected automatic
`option described
`forwarding
`with
`below.
`
`[0035] A first option, step 52, is to automatically
`forward
`all messages to a predefined number or numbers. In step 52,
`to which all received
`the user defines the number or numbers
`short messages are to be forwarded. A second option, step
`54, is to forward all messages received from one or more
`senders, as defined on a list, to one or more
`predetermined
`predefined numbers. At step 54, the user is prompted
`to enter
`sender addresses
`the predetermined
`(phone numbers)
`and
`number(s). As an
`the forwarding
`to enter
`subsequently,
`to step 54, at step 56, the user can select to
`alternative
`forward all messages except for those messages
`received
`from one or more predetermined
`senders, as defined on a list,
`to one or more predefined numbers. The option at step 56
`to receive
`the user
`thus allows
`important messages
`and
`forward messages from senders not deemed to be as impor-
`to step 54, at step 56, the user is
`tant or urgent. Similar
`addresses
`sender
`the predetermined
`to enter
`prompted
`to enter the forwarding
`(phone numbers) and subsequently,
`number(s).
`
`[0036] Yet another option, at step 58, is to forward all
`address when the portion of the
`messages to a predetermined
`telephone memory 24 used for storing short messages is full.
`Preferably, an icon or message is displayed on the screen 12
`the user that the short message memory is full and
`informing
`that messages are being forwarded.
`
`[0037] A further option, at step 60, allows
`the user
`to
`time periods during which received short messages
`define
`to a predefined number(s). At
`forwarded
`are automatically
`is prompted
`step 60, the user
`to enter
`forwarding
`the
`numbers and the time period when received messages are to
`be forwarded.
`
`[0038] The description of the preferred embodiment of the
`for purposes of illus-
`invention has been presented

`to be exhaustive
`to the form disclosed. It will be
`or to limit
`the invention
`appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes could be
`made to the embodiment described above without departing
`from the broad inventive concept thereof. For example, short
`messages could be forwarded with or without
