LOS ANGELES-Richard Helferich, Wireless2Web founder, has been awarded a patent from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office for its LinkPush technology included in Wireless2Web’s multi-modal TalkBack feature that enables cell-phone users to verbally respond to text messages.
With LinkPush, cell-phone users receive short text messages indicating they have a message waiting and an option of acting on the message, by retrieving, deleting or forwarding it. The solution minimizes clutter on the handset and conserves bandwidth, according to Wireless2Web. “It is as if we sent the user an Internet hyperlink, wirelessly, directly to their cell phone,” said Helferich.
