Patent

CA 2509563

Methods and apparatus for providing consistency in Short Message Service (SMS) timestamp formatting (UTC or non-UTC) for mobile communication devices are disclosed. In one illustrative example, a method involves receiving an SMS message intended for a mobile communication device; identifying whether the SMS message has timestamp data formatted in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format or non-UTC format; converting the timestamp data from the UTC format to a non-UTC time format based on an identification that the SMS message has timestamp data formatted in the UTC format; failing to convert the timestamp data to a non-UTC time format based on an identification that the SMS message has timestamp data in the non-UTC format; and causing the SMS message to be sent to the mobile communication device. Other techniques involve mobile device usage of a removable user identity module which has a stored indicator in memory which is indicative of a timestamp mode of operation of a home message center as one of a coordinated universal time (UTC) mode and a non~- UTC mode.

La présente invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs pour donner de la cohérence au formatage (UTC ou non-UTC) de l'horodateur de messages SMS (Short Message Service / service de messages courts), dans des dispositifs de communication mobile. Dans un exemple d'illustration, un procédé comprend: la réception d'un message SMS destiné à un dispositif de communication mobile; l'identification de si le message SMS possède des données d'horodateur formatées en format UTC (Coordinated Universal Time / temps universel coordonné) ou en format non-UTC; la conversion des données d'horodateur du format UTC au format non-UTC en se basant sur le fait que le message SMS a été identifié comme ayant des données d'horodateur en format UTC; l'échec de la conversion des données d'horodateur en format non-UTC en se basant sur le fait que le message SMS a été identifié comme ayant des données d'horodateur en format non-UTC; envoi du message SMS au dispositif de communication mobile. D'autres techniques comprennent l'utilisation dans le dispositif mobile d'un module d'identification d'utilisateur amovible qui comprend un indicateur enregistré dans la mémoire qui indique le mode d'horodateur, entre le mode UTC et le mode non-UTC, dans lequel fonctionne un centre de messages local.
