1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving, from or on behalf of a sender, (a) location criteria from which an expected future location of a recipient who is related to the sender by blood or employment can be inferred, and (b) information indicative of content for a communication to be sent from or on behalf of the sender to the recipient;
inferring the expected future location of the recipient based on a relationship between the location criteria and content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources by or about the sender, the recipient, or both;
inferring content for the communication based on a relationship between the received information indicative of the content and content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources;
generating the communication based on the inferred content; and
scheduling delivery of the communication to the recipient based on the inferred expected future location of the recipient.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes generating a communication to be sent from a sender to a recipient who are related to one another by blood or employment; and scheduling delivery of the communication to the recipient based on a future location of the recipient. The content of the communication and the future location of the recipient are determined from an analysis of electronically-accessible resources by or about the sender, the recipient, or both.

18. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, from or on behalf of a sender, (a) recipient criteria from which an identity of a recipient can be inferred, (b) time criteria from which a future time at which a communication is to be sent from the sender to the recipient can be inferred, (c) location criteria from which an expected future location of the recipient can be inferred, and (d) information indicative of content for the communication; inferring (1) the identity of the recipient based on a relationship between the recipient criteria and content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources by or about the sender, the recipient, or both, (2) the future time based on a relationship between the time criteria and content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources, and (3) the expected future location based on a relationship between the location criteria and content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources; inferring content for the communication based on a relationship between the received information indicative of the content and content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources; generating the communication based on the inferred content; and scheduling delivery of the communication to the recipient at the inferred future time based on the inferred expected future location of the recipient. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)

37. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, from or on behalf of an employer, (a) location criteria from which an expected future location of an employee can be inferred and (b) information indicative of content for a communication to be sent from or on behalf of the employer to the employee; inferring the expected future location of the employee based on a relationship between the location criteria and content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources by or about the employee; inferring content for the communication based on a relationship between the received information indicative of the content and content of publicly available electronically-accessible resources; generating the communication based on the inferred content; and scheduling delivery of the communication to the employee based on the inferred expected future location of the employee. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51)

52. A computer-implemented method comprising:
-
receiving, from or on behalf of a sender, location criteria from which a then unknown future location of a recipient who is related to the sender by blood or employment can be inferred; inferring the future location of the recipient based on a relationship between the location criteria and a result of an automated analysis of publicly available electronically-accessible resources by or about the sender, the recipient, or both; generating a communication on behalf of the sender; scheduling delivery of the communication to the recipient based on the inferred future location of the recipient; and sending the communication to a mobile computing device associated with the recipient when a location of the recipient matches the inferred future location.
