APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING MESSAGES OVER MULTIPLE MEDIUMS
First Claim
1. A method of transmitting a data message to a communication device configured to receive data through a plurality of communications mediums, the method comprising:
- assigning a first priority to a first component of the data message and a second priority to a second component of the data message;
sending the first message component to the communication device over an available communications medium; and
queuing the second component for delivery via a communication medium having a lower relative data transmission cost than the medium over which the first component was sent.
