First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of providing an interrupt message, comprising:
- selecting a message recipient to receive an interrupt message;
automatically selecting a first data transport medium from among a plurality of data transport mediums over which to send the interrupt message to the selected recipient; and
sending the interrupt message over the first data transport medium, the interrupt message including a mobile device identifier associated with a second data transport medium different than the first data transport medium.

Abstract
An interrupt message is sent over one of a plurality of transport mediums from a first mobile device to a second mobile device. The interrupt message may include a first mobile device identifier associated with a transport medium that is independent of the plurality of transport mediums. Upon receipt of the interrupt message at the second mobile device an interruption of any current mobile device operation may occur to notify a user of the interrupt message.

8. A method of receiving an interrupt message, comprising:
-
receiving, by a mobile communication device, an interrupt message over a first data transport medium, the interrupt message including a mobile device identifier associated with a second data transport medium that is different than the first data transport medium; and interrupting, by the mobile communication device, any current operation to display a notification of the interrupt message. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of providing an interrupt message, comprising:
-
sending an interrupt message over a first data transport medium, the interrupt message including a mobile device identifier associated with a second data transport medium different than the first data transport medium; determining whether the interrupt message sent over the first data transport medium was received; and if the interrupt message sent over the first data transport medium was not received, then sending a subsequent interrupt message over another data transport medium different than the first data transport medium. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
