Abstract

A text message containing a natural language request is sent from an originating station to a central server. The server parses the request and uses the originating station identification to authorize the request and determine the address of the object. The server then sends a request to the address of the object, the object acts upon the request and sends results and acknowledgements back to the server, where the results and acknowledgement are translated back into a natural language and sent to the originating station.
