Device and a method for transmitting notification messages and a corresponding device and method for receiving notification messages
First Claim
1. A device for transmitting notification filter messages to a terminal, the device comprising:
- a first input for receiving a filter definition, the filter definition defining a filter type for use in filtering of the notification filter messages, by signalling how values of filter elements in the notification filter message should be interpreted by the terminal during the filtering of the notification filter messages via an appropriately configured filter in the terminal;
a second input for receiving notification input data; and
a processor configured for;
transmitting the filter definition to the terminal;
determining filter elements, the filter elements corresponding to parameters derived from the filter definition, the value of the parameters corresponding to the notification input data, the filter elements to be used during a filtering action performed on the notification filter messages in the terminal;
generating the notification filter messages, the notification filter messages comprising filter elements of respective notification filter messages, wherein the notification filter messages include a summary of the contents of the notification filter messages; and
transmitting the notification filter messages to the terminal, whereby the notification filter messages are filtered by the appropriately configured filter in the terminal while a main CPU of the terminal is in a sleep state, to be turned on when a notification filter message is received.

Abstract
A device and a method for transmitting notification messages (165) and a corresponding device and method for receiving notification messages. A transmitting device (100) receives a filter definition (135) defining a filter type for use in filtering of the notification messages. The filter definition is transmitted to a terminal (160) via a broadcast installation (150). The terminal configures a filter based upon the filter definition. When a 5 notification is to be sent notification input data (145) is received and filter elements (175) are determined. The filter elements correspond to parameters derived from the filter definition. The value of the parameters correspond to the notification input data. The notification messages comprising the filter elements are generated and sent to the terminal. The terminal filters the notification messages using the filter, where the filtering is based upon the filter 10 elements.

7. A device for receiving notification filter messages, the device comprising:
-
a communication module having a first input for receiving from the notification filter messages and for receiving a filter definition, the filter definition defining a filter type for use in filtering of the notification filter messages, by signalling how values of filter elements in the notification filter message should be interpreted by the device during the filtering of the notification filter messages; and a processor communicatively coupled to the communication module configured to configure a filter in the device based upon the filter definition, wherein the filter is appropriately configured for receiving the notification filter messages in the device, the notification filter messages comprising the filter elements, the filter elements being encrypted and corresponding to parameters derived from the filter definition, the filter elements being configured to filter the notification filter messages in the device while a main CPU of the terminal is in a sleep state, and wherein the CPU of the terminal is turned on when a notification filter message is received. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method for receiving notification filter messages in a terminal, the method comprising:
-
receiving a filter definition sent from a device, the filter definition defining a filter type for use in filtering of the notification filter messages, by signalling how values of filter elements in the notification filter messages should be interpreted by the terminal during the filtering of the notification filter messages via an appropriately configured filter in the terminal, wherein the notification filter messages include a summary of the contents of the notification filter messages; transmitting the filter definition from the device to the terminal; receiving, at the device, notification input data; determining by the device filter elements, the filter elements corresponding to parameters derived from the filter definition, the value of the parameters corresponding to the notification input data, the filter elements to be used during a filtering action performed on the notification filter messages via the appropriately configured filter in the terminal; generating at the device the notification filter messages, the notification filter messages including the filter elements; and transmitting the notification filter messages to the terminal whereby the notification filter messages is filtered by the appropriately configured filter in the terminal while a main CPU of the terminal is in a sleep state to be turned on when a notification filter message is received.

17. A method for receiving notification filter messages in a terminal, the method comprising:
-
receiving a filter definition sent from a device, the filter definition defining a filter type for use in filtering of the notification filter messages, by signalling how values of filter elements in the notification filter messages should be interpreted by the terminal during the filtering of the notification filter messages; configuring a filter in the terminal appropriately based upon the filter definition; receiving the notification filter messages in the terminal, the notification filter messages being sent from said device and including filter elements, the filter elements being encrypted and corresponding to parameters derived from the filter definition, the filter elements to be used during a filtering action performed on the notification filter messages via the appropriately configured filter in the terminal; and filtering the notification filter messages in the terminal using the appropriately configured filter, the filtering being based upon the filter elements whereby the notification filter messages is filtered by the appropriately configured filter in the terminal while a main CPU of the terminal is in a sleep state, wherein the CPU of the terminal is turned on when a notification filter message is received.
