Abstract
A message context and delivery manager (MCDM) receives a group message designated for delivery to a plurality of recipient devices. The MCDM determines a message context of the group message, determines a sending device context of the sending device, and determines a recipient device context for each of the plurality of recipient devices. The MCDM further determines the relevance between the message context and each of the recipient device contexts and delivers the group message to the recipient devices if the message context is relevant to the recipient device contexts.
Claims20
A method of delivering a contextually relevant group message comprising:
- receiving, with a message context and delivery manager (MCDM) from a sending device, a group message designated for delivery to a plurality of recipient devices comprising a first recipient group and a second recipient group;
- determining, with the MCDM, a message context of the group message;
- determining, with the MCDM, a sending device context of the sending device;
- determining, with the MCDM, a recipient device context for each of the plurality of recipient devices;
- determining, with the MCDM, relevance between the message context and each of the recipient device contexts, and;
- delivering, with the MCDM, the group message to the first recipient group if the message context is relevant to the recipient device contexts of the recipient devices within the first recipient group and the quantity of recipient devices within the first recipient group exceeds a base percentage of the plurality of recipient devices.
A method of delivering a contextually relevant group message comprising:
- receiving, with a message context and delivery manager (MCDM) from a sending device, a group message designated for delivery to a plurality of recipient devices;
- determining, with the MCDM, a message context of the group message;
- determining, with the MCDM, a sending device context of the sending device;
- determining, with the MCDM, a recipient device context for each of the recipient devices;
- determining, with the MCDM, relevance between the message context and the recipient device contexts, and;
- delivering, with the MCDM, the group message to the plurality of recipient devices if the message context is relevant to the recipient device contexts.
A system that delivers a contextually relevant group message comprising:
- a message context and delivery manager (MCDM) that receives a group message designated for delivery to a plurality of recipient devices comprising a first recipient group and a second recipient group, the MCDM comprising:
- a message context module that determines a message context of the group message;
- a participant context aggregator that determines a sending device context of the sending device and determines a recipient device context for each of the plurality of recipient devices;
- a context relevance calculator that determines the relevance between the message context and each of the recipient device contexts, and;
- a message agent that delivers the group message to the first recipient group if the message context is relevant to the recipient device contexts of the recipient devices within the first recipient group and the quantity of recipient devices within the first recipient group exceeds a base percentage of the plurality of recipient devices.
