System and method for notifying mobile devices based on device type and network capabilities

A method comprising:

• determining if the network is overloaded, if yes, then waiting for a predetermined amount of time before notifying a mobile device of an amendment event, if not, then sending the notification to the mobile device;
• comparing a last synchronization time for a mobile device with a last notification time for the mobile device;
• increasing a notification period for which the mobile device is notified of the amendment event upon determining that the last synchronization time is older than the last notification time;
• and
• in response to the increased notification period, delaying sending the notification to the mobile device.

A method comprising:

• monitoring a database for changes to an enterprise database according to a predetermined criteria;
• determining whether to notify a mobile device of a monitored modification, if not waiting before notifying;
• notifying the mobile device of a monitored modification;
• determining whether a response to the notifying was received, if not, then repeating the above monitoring, determining, and notifying;
• sending the monitored modification such that the mobile device and the enterprise database are synchronized;
• comparing a last synchronization time for a mobile device with a last notification time for the mobile device;
• increasing a notification period for which the mobile device is notified of the monitored modification upon determining that the last synchronization time is older than the last notification time;
• and
• in response to the increased notification period, delaying sending a notification to the mobile device.

A method comprising:

• scanning a database for a record relating to an amendment event according to a predetermined criteria;
• determining if the network is overloaded, if yes, then waiting for a predetermined amount of time before notifying the mobile device, if not, then sending the notification to the mobile device;
• comparing a last synchronization time with a last notification time;
• increasing a notification duration upon determining that the last synchronization time is older than the last notification time;
• and
• in response to the increased notification duration, delaying sending the notification to the mobile device.
