US 8107597 B2
1. A method for updating a subscriber regarding the receipt of one or more new messages, comprising:
receiving, at a messaging system, a new message for a subscriber;
determining whether a communication device associated with the subscriber is available based on the messaging system receiving, from a presence server, a notification that the subscriber is available;
determining that the new message is not a call answer message; and
when the communication device associated with the subscriber is determined to be available and when the new message is determined not to be a call answer message, transmitting a notification to the subscriber, wherein the notification contains information associated with the new message as well as information identifying a number of waiting messages for the subscriber.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the new message is one of a voice message and a text message.
3. The method of claim 1, wherein the communication device is available when at least one of the following statements is true: the communication device has an unexpired registered address, and the subscriber used the communication device within a predetermined time period.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the information in the notification further comprises one or more of an identity of an originator of a waiting message, a time of receipt of a waiting message, and the content of a waiting message.
based on predetermined rules, determining whether the subscriber is to be notified when one or more new messages is received for the subscriber;
when the subscriber is to receive a status update, performing the transmitting step; and
when the subscriber is not to receive a status update, not transmitting a notification to the subscriber.
when a communication device associated with the subscriber is unavailable, not transmitting a notification to the subscriber.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting step comprises the step of:
determining a type of the communication device such that, when the device is configured to receive a text message, the notification is a text message and, when the device is not configured to receive a text message, the communication device is contacted to initiate an audio session for providing at least the information to the subscriber's communication device.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein transmitting a notification to the subscriber comprises sending an INVITE message to the subscriber's communication device.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein the INVITE message comprises the messaging system's SDP payload.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein transmitting a notification to the subscriber further comprises receiving an OK message from the subscriber's communication device.
11. The method of claim 10, wherein the notification is transmitted to the subscriber's communication device after a media session has been established between the subscriber's communication device and the messaging system.
12. A messaging system configured to receive a new message for a subscriber, determine whether a communication device associated with the subscriber is available based on the messaging system receiving, from a presence server, a notification that the subscriber is available, determine that more than a predetermined number of messages are waiting for the subscriber and the new messages is not a call answer message, and, when the communication device associated with the subscriber is determined to be available and only when there are more than the predetermined number of messages waiting for the subscriber and the new message is determined not to be a call answer message, transmit a notification to the subscriber, wherein the notification contains information associated with the new message as well as information identifying a number of waiting messages for the subscriber.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the new message is one of a voice message and a text message.
14. The system of claim 12, wherein the communication device is available when at least one of the following statements is true: the communication device has an unexpired registered address, and the subscriber used the communication device within a predetermined time period.
15. The system of claim 12, wherein the information in the notification further comprises one or more of an identity of an originator of a waiting message, a time of receipt of a waiting message, and the content of a waiting message.
16. The system of claim 12, wherein the messaging system is further configured to, based on predetermined rules, determine whether the subscriber is to be notified when one or more new messages is received for the subscriber and then apply the following rule set:
17. The system of claim 12, wherein the messaging system is further configured to, when a communication device associated with the subscriber is unavailable, not transmit a notification to the subscriber.
18. The system of claim 12, wherein the messaging system is further configured to determine a type of the communication device such that, when the device is configured to receive a text message, the notification is a text message and, when the device is not configured to receive a text message, the communication device is contacted to initiate an audio session for providing at least the information to the subscriber's communication device.
19. The system of claim 12, wherein transmitting a notification to the subscriber comprises sending an INVITE message to the subscriber's communication device, wherein the INVITE message comprises the messaging system's SDP payload and wherein transmitting a notification to the subscriber further comprises receiving an OK message from the subscriber's communication device.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform the method of claim 1.
