Abstract:
1. A method by which a deferred notification is provided, comprising: generating a message associated to a notification to be received by at least one user having a mobile device, wherein the generated message specifies an address for the at least one user's mobile device and at least a location or area where a notification will become active, a date range from a current date within which the notification will become active, and a future time or future time range within which the notification will become active; transmitting the generated message to a server which processes the message and produces a pending deferred notification; selectively enabling the user's mobile device under control of the user to receive the pending deferred notification from the server when a deferred notification mobile application launched under control of the user is active on the user's mobile device and all user preferences associated to the user's mobile device are met; selectively downloading the pending deferred notification to the user's mobile device if the user's mobile device is enabled to receive the pending deferred notification; if the user's mobile device is enabled to receive the pending deferred notification, determining a location of the mobile device using a geographical location feature of the mobile device; and if the location of the mobile device is at the location or within the area specified by the message within the date range specified by the message and at the future time or within the future time range specified by the message, triggering a deferred notification event on the user's mobile device; wherein the notification is deferred and triggered on the user's mobile device when the mobile device is at the location or within the area specified in the message within the date range and at the future time or within the future time range specified in the message.
