Enhanced Generic Information Services Using Mobile Messaging

This paper proposes a new, efficient method of building a scalable generic application which can be used to provide various types of information services using mobile messaging. For specific information, mobile users send an SMS (Short Message Service) to the mobile gateway in a proper format which is then forwarded to the generic application. The generic application accordingly creates an automatic query and generates a prompt reply. With this new architecture, the final query generating algorithm becomes fast, efficient and processing overhead is reduced. Consequently, user gets the information promptly without any long delay.
