ISSUE-253: Binding to Incoming SMS from Script

Incoming SMS

Binding to Incoming SMS from Script

State:
CLOSED
Product:

Raised by:

Description:
My ACTION-690 has me raising this issue. The question arose as follows:

5.5.3 - Push

BS: Push is widely deployed in networks. As a way to do event-based
delivery instead of polling you could use it to minimise network
traffic

CMN: It's in WAP browsers

BS: Almost every phone browser is a WAP browser, and they
implemented push

CMN: Push isn't in "Web" browsers - full internet as opposed to WAP
browsers

JR: There are two cases here... on the one hand WAP push and on the
other hand application binding to incoming SMS to generate event
based behavior

BS: There is a problem of education. There is no generic way to bind
SMS to an application, and that would be a proprietary
implementation detail.

JR: ..."if the device supports it".

BS: The only standard method I know of is MIDP registry.

JR: To my mind there is a distinction between WAP push and bindings
on information pushed to an application. Maybe more information is
needed...

BS: We haven't said that MIDP-based browsers are not in scope...

CMN: No. But I think it is clear that MIDP-based stuff is not
readily within the scope of Web stuff - it is a particualr platform,
in the same way that ActiveX relies ona aprticular platform, rather
than being a general Web technology.

JR: Think we need some more research to look at this... would
someone like to take an Action?
