Abstract

A method includes but is not limited to detecting a wireless-device capability. Related systems include but are not limited to circuitry for effecting the foregoing-described method; the circuitry can be virtually any combination of hardware, software, and/or firmware configured to effect the foregoing-described method depending upon the design choices of the system designer.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

detecting a wireless-device response aggregation event, the wireless-device response aggregation event being selected from a group of managed message types consisting of a memo, a meeting, and an event, each managed message type being further selected from a group of structured messaging element types consisting of an RSVP, a query, a thing to bring, a comment, a sender location, an electronic card, recipient list exposure, and an electronic commerce transaction; and

determining a target wireless-device type.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said detecting a wireless-device response aggregation event comprises:

detecting an operation related to a response aggregation drawn upon a message.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said detecting a wireless-device response aggregation event comprises:

detecting a signal related to a response aggregation drawn upon a message.

4. A system comprising:

a first component configured to detect a wireless-device response aggregation event, the wireless-device response aggregation event being selected from a group of managed message types consisting of a memo, a meeting, and an event, each managed message type being further selected from a group of structured messaging element types consisting of an RSVP, a query, a thing to bring, a comment, a sender location, an electronic card, recipient list exposure, and an electronic commerce transaction; and

a second component configured to determine a target wireless-device type.

5. A system comprising:

means for detecting a wireless-device response aggregation event, the wireless-device response aggregation event being selected from a group of managed message types consisting of a memo, a meeting, and an event, each managed message type being further selected from a group of structured messaging element types consisting of an RSVP, a query, a thing to bring, a comment, a sender location, an electronic card, recipient list exposure, and an electronic commerce transaction; and

means for determining a target wireless-device type.
