Apparatus and method for interpreting and intelligently managing electronic messages

Abstract

A computer-readable system and method for interpreting and selectively forwarding an interpreted message derived from a user's received electronic message, such as an e-mail, fax, converted voice and pager messages, to a mobile communications device of the user. A structured knowledge base comprises knowledge objects of user-related information and the knowledge objects are interlinked by semantic links to permit dynamic navigation thereof. Navigating means dynamically navigates through the structured knowledge base using the content of the received message and determines key term(s) relating to the content as a result of the navigating. An interpreted message is determined from those key term(s). Prioritizing means determines the priority of the message, selects the second communications device based on the current context of the user and the content of the message in relation to the user-related information and assigns priority indicia to the interpreted message according thereto. Forwarding means forwards the interpreted message to the second communications device when the priority indicia assigned to the interpreted message represents that the interpreted message is to be so forwarded.
