Patent ID: 7827233

Claim:
A system comprising: a send-to framework to enable a round-trip mechanism between a stateless device and a third party service provider, by maintaining state data in a server, associated with messages sent to and from the stateless device, adding, by the server, the state data to the messages sent to and from the stateless device, wherein the state data comprises an identifier assigned to a message to track message exchanges between the stateless device and the third party service provider, forwarding, by the server, the messages sent from the stateless device, including the state data, to the third party service provider, receiving, by the server, a response from the third party service provider, determining, by the server, whether to direct the response to the stateless device, forwarding, by the server, the response sent from the third party service provider, including the state data, to the stateless device based on a determination to direct the response to the stateless device, wherein the state data includes background information associated with at least one of: a previous message sent to the stateless device and a previous message sent from the stateless device, and maintaining, by the server, the state data such that when a message is received from the stateless device, the server forwards the message to the third party service provider including proper state data.
