US 2013/0173734 A1 · METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MANAGING SOCIAL NOTIFICATIONS FOR MOBILE DEVICES

Abstract

The invention comprises a system made up of at least 2 modules, shown in FIG. 3. The first module is located in the operating system layer of the mobile device (SMNS service module), and the other module is rolled out in a server belonging to the architecture of the mobile network operator (SMNS platform module). The main purpose of the invention is to generate a standard service shared by all the mobile devices. Integrating the SMNS service module reduces the standardization problems that manufacturers of this technology have encountered thus far. The fact that the same module with the same API is implemented in any operating system will make it much easier for social clients to migrate from one terminal to another. This standardization also affects the communication of social clients using the SMNS service since social clients (SC) can now exchange information even if they have been developed by different mobile software companies.

Dependent claims

A method for managing social notifications for mobile devices, characterized in that it comprises the following phases:

implementing at least one service module integrated in the operating system of a mobile device, provided with means for treating, updating and storing notifications of social events,
implementing at least one platform module integrated in a server of the architecture of a mobile network operator provided with means for storing, treating and distributing notifications of social events,
setting up a communication between the platform and service modules through a protocol designed by means of http technology and transparent to the application layers above the operating system layer,
exchanging information with social networks by means of an API,
making push and pull requests, push requests being generated by entities external to the user and pull requests being generated by the current user provided that the service module rolled out in the mobile device does not contain information that is required,
managing notifications received from external entities,
managing notifications of response to the pull and push requests made.

4 more elements

A system for managing social notifications for mobile devices, characterized in that it comprises at least the following modules:

a service module integrated in the operating system of a mobile device, provided with means for treating, updating and storing notifications of social events, and through which the social clients rolled out in the application layer above the SO layer have access to said information,
a platform module integrated in a server of the architecture of a mobile network operator, provided with means for storing, treating and distributing notifications of social events.
