Systems and methods of group distribution for latency sensitive applications
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for supporting communications groups, the method comprising the acts of:
- determining, by a group list management server, that an event for a communications group occurs;
determining, by the group list management server, that a member of the communications group is associated with a latency-sensitive application; and
distributing, by the group list management server, information associated with the event to a data distribution function,wherein the data distribution function identifies one or more servers associated with the latency-sensitive application and the data distribution function distributes the information associated with the event to the identified one or more servers associated with latency-sensitive application.

Abstract
Systems and methods for supporting group communications are provided. A group list management server (GLMS) stores communications group definitions in documents, such as extensible mark-up language (XML) documents. The communications group can include communication addresses for different types of communication applications, including electronic mail, voice telephone, data, instant messaging, voice dispatch, short messaging service (SMS), and multimedia service (MMS). Various methods for managing communications groups and features provided for communications groups are provided.

7. A method for supporting communications groups, the method comprising the acts of:
-
determining that an event for a communications group occurs; determining that a member of the communications group is associated with a latency-sensitive application; and distributing information associated with the event to a server associated with the latency-sensitive application, wherein the server is a data distribution server coupled to servers supporting latency-sensitive applications, and wherein the data distribution server forwards the information associated with the event to a server supporting a particular latency-sensitive application. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)
