Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method for providing global wireless unified messaging including receiving a registration of a wireless device corresponding to a user, associating a event with the user, receiving an alert relating to the event, and transmitting a event alert to the wireless device responsive to the alert.

Claims

1. A method for providing global wireless unified messaging comprising:

receiving a registration of a wireless device corresponding to a user;

receiving a request from a user to create an event and associate the event with the user;

receiving an alert relating to the event; and

transmitting a event alert to the wireless device responsive to the alert.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the registration includes a preferred format of the event alert.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating alerts relating to one or more subsequent events associated with the user and transmitting a cascaded event alert to one or more additional users associated with the subsequent events.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving an acknowledgement that the event alert was successfully transmitted to the wireless device.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a second registration of a second wireless device corresponding to a second user; and

associating the second user with the event;

wherein the alert relating to the event is received from the second wireless device.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the alert is an automatically generated alert relating to the event.

7. The method of claim 4, wherein the event is a first meeting, the alert is a delay notice, the subsequent events are meetings scheduled after the first meeting that the user is scheduled to attend, and the cascaded event alerts are notices of delays corresponding to subsequently scheduled meetings.

8. A global wireless unified messaging system comprising:

a user interface that allows a user to register a wireless devices associated with the user;

a memory storage device that stores a user registration information; and

a data processing unit for processing alerts comprising;

a alert receiving unit that receives an alert that corresponds to one or more events;

a data filtering unit that correlates the alert to one or more users based on the users registration information; and

a distribution unit that transmits an event alert to the wireless device associated with the user responsive to the alert.

9. The global wireless unified messaging system of claim 8, wherein the user registration information includes a preferred format of the event alert.

10. The global wireless unified messaging system of claim 8, wherein the user register information is received from the user and includes the events that are of interest to the user.

11. The global wireless unified messaging system of claim 8, wherein the distribution unit is capable of transmitting the event alert in multiple wireless formats.

12. The global wireless unified messaging system of claim 8, wherein the distribution unit transmits the event alert to a second wireless device associated with a second user responsive to the alert.

13. The global wireless unified messaging system of claim 8, wherein the alert is automatically generated and received by the alert receiving unit.

14. The global wireless unified messaging system of claim 8, wherein the data filtering unit creates one or more cascaded event alerts responsive to the alert.

15. A computer program product for providing global wireless unified messaging, the computer program product comprising:

a storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method comprising;

receiving a registration of a wireless device corresponding to a user;

receiving a request from a user to create an event and associate the event with the user;

receiving an alert relating to the event; and

transmitting a event alert to the wireless device responsive to the alert.

16. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the registration includes a preferred format of the event alert.

17. The computer program product of claim 15, further comprising generating alerts relating to one or more subsequent events associated with the user and transmitting a cascaded event alert to one or more additional users associated with the subsequent events.

18. The computer program product of claim 15, further comprising receiving an acknowledgement that the event alert was successfully transmitted to the wireless device.

19. The computer program product of claim 15, further comprising:

receiving a second registration of a second wireless device corresponding to a second user; and

associating the second user with the event;

wherein the alert relating to the event is received from the second wireless device.

20. The computer program product of claim 15, wherein the alert is an automatically generated alert relating to the event.
