Abstract
The disclosure describes systems and methods delivering communications associated with delivery conditions in which the occurrence of the delivery condition is determined by monitoring information received from a plurality of sources via multiple communication channels. The message delivery systems allow messages to be delivered to any “Who, What, When, Where” from any “Who, What, When, Where” upon the detection of an occurrence of one or more “Who, What, When, Where” delivery conditions. A message (which may be any data object including text-based messages, audio-based message such as voicemail or other audio such as music or video-based prerecorded messages) is delivered in accordance with delivery conditions based on any available data, including topical, spatial, temporal, and/or social data. Furthermore, because the systems coordinate delivery of messages via multiple communication channels and through multiple devices, the communication channel for delivery of a message may be dynamically determined based on the delivery conditions.

22. A method comprising:
-
receiving from a sender, at a computing device, a request to deliver a first message to a recipient, the request identifying at least one delivery condition set by the sender, said at least one delivery condition comprising a quantified status; retrieving, by the computing device, data associated with a real-world entity (RWE) and an information object (IO) associated with the real-world entity; determining, via the computing device, a status of the RWE, said determination comprises monitoring the data associated with the RWE and the IO; comparing, via the computing device, the status of the RWE with the quantified status of the at least one delivery condition; and delivering, over a network, the first message when the status of the RWE corresponds with the quantified status of the at least one delivery condition. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium associated with a computing device and storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor of the computing device, perform a method comprising:
-
receiving from a sender a request to deliver a first message to a recipient, the request identifying at least one delivery condition set by the sender, said at least one delivery condition comprising a quantified status; retrieving data associated with a real-world entity (RWE) and an information object (IO) associated with the real-world entity; determining a status of the RWE, said determination comprises monitoring the data associated with the RWE and the IO; comparing the status of the RWE with the quantified status of the at least one delivery condition; and delivering the first message when the status of the RWE corresponds with the quantified status of the at least one delivery condition. - View Dependent Claims (35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A system comprising:
-
at least one computing device comprising; memory storing computer-executable instructions; and one or more processors for executing said computer-executable instructions, comprising; receiving from a sender a request to deliver a first message to a recipient, the request identifying at least one delivery condition set by the sender, said at least one delivery condition comprising a quantified status; retrieving data associated with a real-world entity (RWE) and an information object (IO) associated with the real-world entity; determining a status of the RWE, said determination comprises monitoring the data associated with the RWE and the IO; comparing the status of the RWE with the quantified status of the at least one delivery condition; and delivering the first message when the status of the RWE corresponds with the quantified status of the at least one delivery condition. - View Dependent Claims (40, 41)
