Abstract
A method and a device for alerting MSN message transmission are provided. An alert software is activated immediately after the user activates and logs in the MSN real-time messenger. The software then performs the confirmation of on-line status, and enters the computer system into a standby mode for alert. When an incoming message is acquired from the messenger, the alert level of the incoming message is determined. A signal representing the alert level of the incoming message is then transmitted to a wireless network access point, such that an alert showing the alert level of the incoming message can be generated. It will be appreciated that the incoming message does not only include an actual message sent by another on-line party, but also includes a call from another party.
