US 2023/0421518 A1 · SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A SMART MESSAGE ALERT AND RECALL

Abstract

Systems and methods for determining whether an alert should be generated, a delay period should be configured, or both, for a message composed in a messaging application or received by it, are disclosed. The methods determine a relationship score between a sender electronic device and a recipient electronic device. One or more analysis factors, which are determined based on the relationship score, are used to analyze the content of the message to determine whether the content is appropriate based on the relationship score and the applied factors. If the content is not appropriate, then an alert warning the sender of the inappropriate content is generated. A transmission delay period that is dynamically changed based on the relationship score and factors is embedded into the message such that the message may not be delivered until the expiration of such delay period. Emergency-related content is transmitted without an alert or delay.
