Device message management system
First Claim
1. A method of managing messages for devices having a limited processing capacity, the method practiced on a message management system distinct from a user device, the message management system comprising a user configuration categorizing messages for a user by elements of said messages, a user message data store, and a user data store, comprising:
- receiving, by the message management system, the user configuration categorizing messages for a user by elements of said messages;
accessing, by the message management system, the user message datastore upon receipt of at least one new message for the user to the user data store;
comparing, by the message management system, said at least one new message to a set of user specific rules;
rendering, by the message management system, a message summary of messages for a category as defined in the user configuration, the message summary including a sender and a textual summary of each of said at least one new message and at least one link accessible by the user device, wherein properties of the textual summary of each of said at least one new message are defined by the user and are stored in the message management system, wherein the at least one link enables action with respect to said at least one new message when selected by the user; and
outputting, by the message management system, the message summary to the user device at times scheduled by the user.

Abstract
A method and system for managing email or other messaging and attachments to messages which are forwarded to devices having limited processing and memory capacity. The method includes the steps of: receiving a user configuration categorizing messages for the user by elements of the message; accessing the user message datastore upon receipt of at least one new message for the user to a user data store; comparing said at least one new message to a set of user specific rules; rendering a message summary including at least one link accessible by the processing device, the link enabling action with respect to the message when selected by the user; and outputting the message summary to a user device.

24. One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said processor readable storage devices, said processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
-
accessing a user message datastore, by a message management system comprising the user message datastore, the message management system distinct from a user device; determining, by the message management system, a set of messages in the datastore which have not been read by the user; filtering, by the message management system, messages in said set of messages using a set of user specific rules, wherein different categories of messages are determined using different user specific rules; rendering, by the message management system, a message summary of messages in the set of messages and other messages in the datastore, wherein each message is grouped as part of one of the categories, wherein the message summary includes at least one link accessible by the processing device to one of the different categories, wherein the at least one link enables action with respect to one or more messages associated with the one of the different category when selected by the user, wherein the message summary provides information regarding messages in the set of messages that have satisfied the set of user specific rules; and outputting, by the message management system, the message summary to the user device. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 30)
