Recipient status indicator system and method

A recipient status indicator system comprising:

• a message transmission process, executed by a broadcast server, for transmitting attributable security interest messages over a network to a primary intended recipient;
• an indicator signal transmission process, executed by the primary intended recipient, for repeatedly and sequentially broadcasting an indicator signal over the network;
• an indicator signal monitoring process for receiving, from the network, the indicator signal broadcast by the indicator signal transmission process;
• and
• a recipient offline determination process for determining that the primary intended recipient is offline whenever the indicator signal is not received for a defined failure period.

A recipient status indicator system comprising:

• a message transmission process, executed by a broadcast server, for transmitting attributable security interest messages over a network to a primary intended recipient and one or more backup intended recipient;
• a primary indicator signal transmission process, executed by the primary intended recipient, for repeatedly and sequentially broadcasting a primary indicator signal over the network;
• an indicator signal monitoring process for receiving, from the network, the primary indicator signal broadcast by the primary indicator signal transmission process;
• and
• a recipient offline determination process for determining that the primary intended recipient is offline whenever the primary indicator signal is not received for a defined failure period.

A recipient status indicator system comprising:

• a data bus;
• a broadcast server, connected to the data bus and executing a message transmission process for transmitting attributable security interest messages over the data bus to a primary intended recipient and a backup intended recipient;
• a primary intended recipient, connected to the data bus and executing a primary indicator signal transmission process for repeatedly and sequentially broadcasting a primary indicator signal over the data bus;
• and
• a backup intended recipient connected to the data bus;
• wherein the broadcast server further executes an indicator signal monitoring process for receiving, from the data bus, the primary indicator signal broadcast by the primary intended recipient;
• wherein the broadcast server further executes a recipient offline determination process for determining that the primary intended recipient is offline whenever the primary indicator signal is not received for a defined failure period.

A recipient status indicator method comprising:

• transmitting attributable security interest messages, over a network, to a primary intended recipient;
• repeatedly and sequentially broadcasting, over the network, an indicator signal generated by the primary intended recipient;
• receiving, from the network, the indicator signal broadcast by the primary intended recipient;
• and
• determining that the primary intended recipient is offline whenever the indicator signal is not received for a defined failure period.

A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the processor, cause that processor to:

• transmit attributable security interest messages, over a network, to a primary intended recipient;
• repeatedly and sequentially broadcast, over the network, an indicator signal generated by the primary intended recipient;
• receive, from the network, the indicator signal broadcast by the primary intended recipient;
• and
• determine that the primary intended recipient is offline whenever the indicator signal is not received for a defined failure period.
