Abstract
A notification routing system may include a data storage system and a notification routing module. The data storage system may store the identity of entities and, for each entity, the identity of a group of cellular communication devices used by the entity. The notification routing module may detect a notification that is directed to at least one of the cellular communication devices, determine which cellular communication device is active within the group of cellular communication devices to which the notification is directed, and route the notification to the active cellular communication device.
Claims20
A notification routing system comprising:
- a data storage system configured to store the identity of entities and, for each entity, the identity of a group of cellular communication devices used by the entity;
- and
- a notification routing module configured to:
- detect a notification that is directed to at least one of the cellular communication devices in a group of a particular one of the entities;
- determine if the at least one of the cellular communication devices is active;
- route the notification to the at least one of the cellular communication devices if the at least one of the cellular communication devices is determined to be active;
- and
- if the at least one of the cellular communication devices is determined to be not active, determine another cellular communication device in the group of the particular entity that is active, and route the notification to the other active cellular communication device.
A notification routing system comprising:
- a data storage system configured to store the identity of entities and, for each entity, the identity of a group of cellular communication devices used by the entity;
- a notification routing module configured to:
- detect a notification that is directed to at least one of the cellular communication devices;
- determine which cellular communication device is active within the group of cellular communication devices to which the notification is directed;
- and
- route the notification to the active cellular communication device;
- wherein the data storage system is configured to store user-specified options indicating which types of notifications in each group should be subject to the active device notification routing provided by the notification routing module;
- wherein the notification routing system includes a user interface configured to receive the user-specified options and to store the user-specified options in the data storage system;
- and
- wherein the notification routing module is configured to route the notification in accordance with the user-specified options.
Non-transitory, tangible, computer-readable media containing a program of instructions configured to cause a computer system running the program of instructions to:
- store the identity of entities in a data storage system and, for each entity, the identity of a group of cellular communication devices used by the entity;
- detect a notification that is directed to at least one of the cellular communication devices in a group of a particular one of the entities;
- determine if the at least one of the cellular communication devices is active;
- route the notification to the at least one of the cellular communication devices if the at least one of the cellular communication devices is determined to be active;
- and
- if the at least one of the cellular communication devices is determined to be not active, determine another cellular communication device in the group of the particular entity that is active, and route the notification to the other active cellular communication device.
