Abstract

A method including: receiving an incoming message; parsing the content of the incoming message to identify content of the incoming message; and creating a pop-up notification that depends upon identified content.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving an incoming message;

parsing the content of the incoming message to identify content of the incoming message; and

creating a pop-up notification that depends upon identified content.

2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification includes multiple information items including an item that identifies from whom the message was sent and an item that identifies what the message contains.

3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification includes an icon indicating that the incoming message contains audio content.

4. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification includes an icon indicating that the incoming message contains video content.

5. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification includes a thumbnail picture displaying at least a portion of image content.

6. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification includes a string defined by an originator of the message.

7. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the incoming message comprises an originator defined attribute that controls the pop-up notification.

8. A method as claimed in claim 7, wherein the originator defined attribute defines one or more of:

an urgency;

an icon displayed in the pop-up notification;

an

animation provided in the pop-up notification;

an alert associated with pop-up notification, and a summary for display in pop-up notification.

9. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification depends upon a trust level associated with the originator of the message.

10. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification has a form that is customisable by predetermined pop-up settings of the receiving device.

11. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification has a customisable form that is dependent upon the originator of the message.

12. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification is dependent upon which one of several user-selectable profiles the receiving device is in when the incoming message is received.

13. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the pop-up notification is dependent upon, in order of priority, specifications made by the sender of the message, specifications made by the recipient of the message, and default specifications.

14. A computer program product comprising computer program instructions for:

parsing the content of an incoming message to identify content of the incoming message; and

creating a pop-up notification that depends upon identified content.

15. A device comprising:

a receiver for receiving an incoming message;

a parser for parsing the content of the incoming message to identify content of the incoming message; and

a display for displaying a pop-up notification that depends upon identified content.

16. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the device is operable to identify from whom the message was sent and what the message contains and wherein the pop-up notification includes multiple information items including an item that identifies from whom the message was sent and an item that identifies what the message contains.

17. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the device is operable to identify that the incoming message contains audio content and wherein the pop-up notification includes an icon indicating that the incoming message contains audio content.

18. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the device is operable to identify that the incoming message contains video content and wherein the pop-up notification includes an icon indicating that the incoming message contains video content.

19. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the device is operable to identify an image within the incoming message content and wherein the pop-up notification includes a thumbnail picture displaying at least a portion of the image.

20. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the device is operable to identify a string defined by an originator of the message and wherein the pop-up notification includes the identified string.

21. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the device is operable to identify a attribute defined by an originator of the message and to use the identified attribute to control the pop-up notification.

22. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the device is operable to stored trust indications and wherein the pop-up notification depends upon a trust level associated with the originator of the message.

23. A method as claimed in claim 15, wherein the device is operable to customise a pop-up notification according to predetermined user settings.
