Abstract
Techniques and architectures enable a wireless communications system to receive and deliver a message for which a user of a mobile device has specified which among multiple devices, all assigned the same phone number as one another, is to receive the message. The mobile device may be the sender or the receiver of the message. The message may be a scheduled message to be delivered on a particular date and time to a contact in an address book of the sender.
Claims20
A wireless communication network, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a non-transitory storage medium;
- and
- instructions stored in the non-transitory storage medium, the instructions being executable by the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a first remote client device that is assigned a particular phone number, identification of a second remote client device and a request that a message to be delivered to the first client device be delivered instead to the second remote client device, wherein the first remote client device and the second remote client device are both assigned the particular phone number, and wherein the message originates from a sending remote client device;
- allow the sending remote client device to modify the request based on display capabilities of the first remote client device and the second remote client device;
- and
- deliver the message to the second remote client device.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a network element, cause a flow controller of the network element to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving, from a first remote client device that is assigned a particular phone number, identification of a second remote client device and a request that a message to be delivered to the first client device be delivered instead to the second remote client device, wherein the first remote client device and the second remote client device are both assigned the particular phone number;
- causing the flow controller of the network element to allow the sending remote client device to modify the request based on display capabilities of the first remote client device and the second remote client device;
- and
- delivering the message to the second remote client device.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from a first remote client device that is assigned a particular phone number, identification of a second remote client device and a request that a message to be delivered to the first client device be delivered instead to the second remote client device, wherein the first remote client device and the second remote client device are both assigned the particular phone number, and wherein the message originates from a sending remote client device;
- allowing the sending remote client device to modify the request based on display capabilities of the first remote client device and the second remote client device;
- and
- delivering the message to the second remote client device.
