A method for identifying one or more unauthorised routes used for the termination of application-to-person (A2P) short message service (SMS) messages to a mobile telecommunications network, and a system for use in performing the method. An application service is stimulated to generate an A2P SMS message, and to send it to a collection point. The message is processed to obtain an identifier identifying a source of the message, and it is determined whether the identifier corresponds to an authorised source of A2P traffic to the network.

A wireless device to provide mobile gamification services includes a transceiver configured to transmit data, an application to remotely connect via a network to a mobile website, to download a game from the mobile website to the wireless device, to execute the game locally on the wireless device, to execute the game via the mobile website, to redeem game rewards associated with wireless services, and to select the game rewards associated with the wireless services, a processor to control the transceiver and execute the application, a display to display the game and the game rewards, and a computer readable medium to store the application and user preferences associated with the game and with the wireless services.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may transmit a maneuver message for a maneuver of a vehicle associated with the UE; perform a negotiation, with one or more other UEs, associated with the maneuver message, wherein the negotiation includes at least one of: indicating, in the maneuver message, one or more remote vehicle maneuvers, or receiving, from a UE of the one or more other UEs, a response to the maneuver message indicating a suggested maneuver for the vehicle of the UE; and perform an action based at least in part on performing the negotiation. Numerous other aspects are provided.

In one example, a mobile message device may create a message rule to establish a causal relationship between a messaging activity and a device activity or vice versa. A mobile message device may present a message rule user interface to the user to establish a message rule. The message rule user interface may receive from the user a message parameter describing at least one of a message format and a message content of a hypothetical mobile message received in a mobile messaging module. The message rule user interface may receive a response action directive describing a device action to be performed by the mobile message device in response to receiving an incoming mobile message matching the message parameter. The mobile message device may store a message target rule associating the message parameter with the response action directive. The mobile message device may receive the incoming mobile message matching the message parameter. The mobile message device may execute the device action in response to the incoming mobile message according to the response action directive.

A method of operation of a navigation system includes: detecting a message overlap between a current audio message and a message delivery timeframe of a contemporaneous audio message; determining an audio message interchange between the current audio message and a contemporaneous audio message based on a message waveform of the current audio message, a remaining message duration of the current audio message, or a combination thereof; and delivering the current audio message and the contemporaneous audio message based on the audio message interchange.

A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a processing system that analyses, without user intervention, content of a first message directed from equipment of a sending user to equipment of a receiving user, to identify a task. The processing system determines that the receiving user is unable to perform the task according to biometric data of the receiving user. The biometric data is selected from one of heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and combinations thereof. According to the content of the first message and the biometric data obtained from the receiving user, the processing system determines that the task should be delegated to another user, and responsive thereto, provides a second message associated with the task to equipment of the other user. Other embodiments are disclosed.
