The present Single Sign-On Service for Communication Network Messaging
provides a wireless subscriber with the ability to login with a single
service provider and then move seamlessly among the allowed messaging
services to share personal address book and calendaring applications. The
subscriber logs into the network from either the wireless station set
interface or from the WEB user interface using a laptop or personal
computer to access an AnyPath Web server. Once the subscriber has signed
on to the AnyPath Web server, the subscriber's account information is
accessed in a centralized profile for messaging services (Short Message
Service (SMS), unified messaging, voice-mail messaging) using a single
directory server and integrated address book and calendar services.
