Abstract
Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide a system for communicating with a plurality of mobile devices from a single mobile device. Source information may be stored from an incoming message to one or more groups. An outgoing message may be associated to each of the groups, and may be automatically sent to one or more of the groups based on user-defined rules.
Claims17
A system for communicating with a plurality of mobile devices from a single mobile device, the system comprising:
- a processor of the single mobile device;
- a memory coupled to the processor;
- a mobile application component including processor-executable instructions stored in the memory and operable on the processor to:
- store source information of a received incoming message to one or more groups, based on a content of the incoming message, the one or more groups stored in the memory of the single mobile device;
- select an outgoing message from a plurality of outgoing messages stored in the memory of the single mobile device for each of the one or more groups;
- automatically send a communication including the outgoing message from the single mobile device to the plurality of mobile devices, the plurality of mobile devices associated to at least one group of the one or more groups, according to a user-defined rule associated with the at least one group;
- and
- automatically send another communication from the single mobile device to the plurality of mobile devices based on a predetermined time duration since sending a previous communication, a keyword included in the incoming message, and/or the occurrence of a predetermined day.
A method of operating a mobile device to communicate with a plurality of other mobile devices, based on instructions stored in a memory of the mobile device and operable on a processor of the mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving an incoming message at the mobile device;
- storing a source of the incoming message to one or more groups, based on a content of the incoming message, the one or more groups stored in the memory of the mobile device;
- selecting an outgoing message from a plurality of outgoing messages stored in the memory of the mobile device for each of the one or more groups;
- automatically sending a communication including the outgoing message to members of at least one group of the one or more groups, according to a user-defined rule associated with the at least one group;
- and
- automatically sending another communication to the source of the incoming message, at a predetermined date and/or time, based on a keyword included in the incoming message.
A method of operating a mobile device to communicate with a plurality of other mobile devices, based on instructions stored in a memory of the mobile device and operable on a processor of the mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving an incoming message at the mobile device;
- storing a source of the incoming message to one or more groups, based on a content of the incoming message, the one or more groups stored in the memory of the mobile device;
- selecting an outgoing message from a plurality of outgoing messages stored in the memory of the mobile device for each of the one or more groups;
- automatically sending a communication including the outgoing message to members of at least one group of the one or more groups, according to a user-defined rule associated with the at least one group;
- and
- automatically sending another communication to the members of the at least one group of the one or more groups based on at least one of:
- a user-selected time duration since sending the communication, a day of the week, a day of the month, an appointment date, and a special event.
