Abstract

See full text

This document describes tools capable of enabling participants in a real-time, text-messaging conference to access text messages that they have missed, whether that be because they joined the conference late, were disconnected, or did not receive a message due to some sort of failure. Assume, for example, that a conference participant on a wireless laptop does not receive a text message because of a wireless connection failure. The tools, in one embodiment, enable the participant's laptop to notice that the text message was not received, ask for the missing text message, and receive the missing text message. The participant's laptop may then display the missing text message thereby allowing the participant to catch up with the conference and so not lose the context of the ongoing text-messaging conversation.
