ISSUE-253: Binding to Incoming SMS from Script
Incoming SMS
Binding to Incoming SMS from Script
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- Mobile Web Applications Best Practices
- Raised by:
- Jo Rabin
- Opened on:
- 2008-05-22
- 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?
