Registering actionable alerts
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, executed on a computer, of registering a first device to receive an actionable alert related to financial services, comprising:
- receiving, via a network server, identifier information about the first device from a second device representing a request to register the first device, the first device and the second device being different devices;
storing the identifier information in a storage device associated with transmitting actionable alerts;
sending a Short Message Service (SMS) registration message based on the identifier information to the first device, prompting the user to provide authentication information;
receiving a message from the first device in response to the registration message comprising information provided by the device regarding a capability of the first device, the message including the authentication information;
verifying the message from the first device is associated with the registration message and that the authentication information is correct;
determining, based on a time difference between sending the registration message and receiving the message in response, if the first device meets an expected level of reliability; and
storing additional information in the storage device, about the first device, if the first device meets the expected level of reliability and the authentication information is correct, including the capability of the first device such that the actionable alert sent to the first device uses the capability of the device.

Abstract
Described are methods and systems, including computer program products, for registering, configuring, and invoking actionable alerts. For example, an alert action is determined based on an alert. The alert is sent to a device based on an alert logic and the alert action is sent to the device based on a device capability. A received communication is identified as a response from the first device based on the alert requesting performance of the alert action.

11. A system for registering a first device to receive an actionable alert related to financial services comprising:
-
means for receiving, via a network server, identifier information about the first device from a second device representing a request to register the first device, the first device and the second device being different devices; means for storing the identifier information in a storage device associated with transmitting actionable alerts; means for sending a Short Message Service (SMS) registration message based on the identifier information to the first device, prompting the user to provide authentication information; means for receiving a message from the first device in response to the registration message comprising information provided by the device regarding a capability of the first device, the message including the authentication information; means for verifying the message from the first device is associated with the registration message and that the authentication information is correct; means for determining, based on a time difference between sending the registration message and receiving the message in response, if the first device meets an expected level of reliability; and means for storing additional information in the storage device, about the first device, if the first device meets the expected level of reliability and the authentication information is correct, including the capability of the first device such that the actionable alert sent to the first device uses the capability of the device. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A system for registering a first device to receive an actionable alert related to financial services comprising:
-
a network server configured to receive identifier information about the first device from a second device representing a request to register the first device, the first device and the second device being different devices; a storage device associated with transmitting actionable alerts, configured to store the identifier information; an actionable alert distribution engine configured to send a Short Message Service (SMS) registration message, based on the identifier information, to the first device, prompting a user to provide authentication information; a device recognition module configured to receive a message sent from the first device in response to the registration message, the message sent in response, comprising information provided by the device regarding a capability of the first device, the message including the authentication information; and a device registration confirmation module configured to verify that the message from the first device is associated with the registration message;
to determine, based on a time difference between when the registration message was sent and the message in response was received, if the first device meets an expected level of reliability; and
to store additional information in the storage device, about the first device, if the first device meets the expected level of reliability and the authentication information is correct, including the capability of the first device such that the actionable alert sent to the first device uses the capability of the device. - View Dependent Claims (14)
