Ozeki NG SMS Gateway
Mobile message type specification - VCalendar SMS
(SMS message type, SMS message format)
Introduction
VCalendar defines a transport- and platform-independent format for exchanging calendar and schedule information so that any vCalendar-compliant application can send or receive calendaring and scheduling information to or from any other vCalendar application. For instance, users with mobile phones running vCalendar-aware applications can schedule meetings automatically over an infrared link or via sending an SMS.
Why it is convenient
You can use this message type to send the recipient a calendar entry to remind them of an important date. The information as an SMS message in the phone is easier to store, organise and handle than information on paper, and a mobile phone is more likely to be at hand at any time than a calendar.
Message type
SMS:VCALENDAR
The format of the message data is:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:description of the event DTSTART:start date and time of the event (year month day T hour minute second) DTEND:end date and time of the event (year month day T hour minute second) END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
Take a look at an example:
BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DESCRIPTION:My favourite series DTSTART:20070817T170500 DTEND:20070817T181500 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
SQL example:
If you use the Database user to send and receive SMS messages with Ozeki NG - SMS Gateway, you can use the following SQL statement to send a VCalendar message:insert into ozekimessageout (receiver,msgtype,msg,status) values (�+36205222245�, �SMS:VCALENDAR�,�BEGIN:VCALENDAR\r\nVERSION:1.0\r\nBEGIN:VEVENT\r\nDESCRIPTION:My favourite series\r\n DTSTART:20070817T170500\r\nDTEND:20070817T181500\r\nEND:VEVENT\r\nEND:VCALENDAR�,�send�);
