Abstract

Provided is a system and method for centralizing common messaging functionality across a plurality of heterogeneous Mobile data processing System (MS) applications, and for synergistically bringing new messaging functionality to those applications. New synergistic presentation/messaging capability is provided with distributable presentation objects in areas of Out-Going Messages (OGMs), Out-going Caller Messages (OCMs), Confirmation Of delivery Messages (COMs) and ADvertising messages (ADs). OGMs include messages which are played to callers in a phone call recording system. OCMs include messages that can be left automatically to a phone call recording system by a caller. COMs include messages that are automatically sent based on a delivery. ADs include messages for conveying advertising information. Different message types and messaging objects are automatically distributed for a variety of triggering events. In a preferred embodiment, the Location Based eXchange method and system is leveraged.

18. The method of claim 17 wherein said text message application event includes matching criteria to content associated with a text message.

19. The method of claim 1 wherein said information is conditionally sent with said whereabouts condition referencing user maintained waymark information.

20. The method of claim 1 wherein said another data processing system is said remote data processing system.

21. The method of claim 1 wherein said object is processed at said receiving data processing system in accordance with a privilege maintained by said receiving data processing system.

22. The method of claim 1 wherein said information includes content and at least one condition for processing said content, wherein said content is sent back to said receiving data processing system by said remote data processing system upon evaluation at said remote data processing system of said at least one condition for processing said content.

23. The method of claim 1 wherein said event specification to be monitored by said receiving data processing system for triggering when to send said information includes a condition for detecting content in a wireless data record processed by said receiving data processing system.
