Abstract
A mobile device includes a client application configured to process and display a push notification specifying an appointment reminder originating from a server acting as an appointment manager. The client displays a menu of available options for conducting additional appointment-related transactions, such as confirmation, rescheduling, or cancellation of the appointment. Based on the user selection, the client conducts a user-interactive transaction with the server to complete the requested appointment service.

A method, comprising:
- examining an appointment reminder notification by a client application of a mobile device;
- when all of the data needed to formulate the appointment reminder is present, generating the appointment reminder by the client application;
- when all of the data needed to formulate the appointment reminder is not present, generating the appointment reminder by the client application based on data from a resource referenced in the reminder notification;
- and
- conducting, by the mobile device and a server, a user-interactive transaction according to the appointment reminder notification.
A mobile device, comprising:
- a processor;
- memory communicably coupled to said processor;
- and
- a client application configured to:
- examine an appointment reminder notification by a client application of a mobile device;
- when all of the data needed to formulate the appointment reminder is present, generate the appointment reminder by the client application;
- when all of the data needed to formulate the appointment reminder is not present, generate the appointment reminder by the client application based on data from a resource referenced in the reminder notification;
- and
- conduct, by the mobile device and a server, a user-interactive transaction according to the appointment reminder notification.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions for execution by a processor, that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- examine an appointment reminder notification by a client application of a mobile device;
- when all of the data needed to formulate the appointment reminder is present, generate the appointment reminder by the client application;
- when all of the data needed to formulate the appointment reminder is not present, generate the appointment reminder by the client application based on data from a resource referenced in the reminder notification;
- and
- conduct, by the mobile device and a server, a user-interactive transaction according to the appointment reminder notification.
