1. A first user communication device comprising:
- a memory storing machine readable instructions to;
ascertain available modes of communication for the first user communication device;
link a communication criterion with a preferred mode of communication from the available modes of communication for the first user communication device;
receive, from a second user communication device, a message via the preferred mode of communication for the first user communication device;
receive, from the second user communication device, an acknowledgement request related to the message via the preferred mode of communication for the first user communication device;
receive, from the second user communication device, a further message via a lower ranked mode of communication compared to the preferred mode of communication absent receipt, by the second user communication device, of an acknowledgement receipt related to the acknowledgement request; and
receive, from the second user communication device, an additional message after the further message via a higher ranked mode of communication compared to the lower ranked mode of communication upon reverting of the second user communication device to the higher ranked mode of communication for forwarding the additional message after the further message; and
a processor to implement the machine readable instructions.

Abstract
An optimal communication system may include an optimal communication module, executed by a computer system, to ascertain a first and second user'"'"'s available modes of communication. A first user communication system may allow the first user to link a communication criterion with a preferred mode of communication. A second user communication system may allow the second user to send a message to the first user by the first user'"'"'s preferred mode of communication.

1. A first user communication device comprising:
-
a memory storing machine readable instructions to; ascertain available modes of communication for the first user communication device; link a communication criterion with a preferred mode of communication from the available modes of communication for the first user communication device; receive, from a second user communication device, a message via the preferred mode of communication for the first user communication device; receive, from the second user communication device, an acknowledgement request related to the message via the preferred mode of communication for the first user communication device; receive, from the second user communication device, a further message via a lower ranked mode of communication compared to the preferred mode of communication absent receipt, by the second user communication device, of an acknowledgement receipt related to the acknowledgement request; and receive, from the second user communication device, an additional message after the further message via a higher ranked mode of communication compared to the lower ranked mode of communication upon reverting of the second user communication device to the higher ranked mode of communication for forwarding the additional message after the further message; and a processor to implement the machine readable instructions. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21)

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions for communication between first and second user communication devices, the machine readable instructions when executed cause a processor to:
-
ascertain available modes of communication for the first user communication device; ascertain a preferred mode of communication from the available modes of communication for the first user communication device; forward, from the second user communication device to the first user communication device, a message via the preferred mode of communication for the first user communication device; forward, from the second user communication device to the first user communication device, an acknowledgement request related to the message via the preferred mode of communication for the first user communication device; forward, from the second user communication device to the first user communication device, a further message via a lower ranked mode of communication compared to the preferred mode of communication absent receipt, by the second user communication device, of an acknowledgement receipt related to the acknowledgement request; and forward, from the second user communication device to the first user communication device, an additional message after the further message via a higher ranked mode of communication compared to the lower ranked mode of communication upon reverting of the second user communication device to the higher ranked mode of communication for forwarding the additional message after the further message. - View Dependent Claims (22)

20. A communication method comprising:
-
ascertaining, by a processor, available modes of communication for a first user communication device; linking a communication criterion with a preferred mode of communication from the available modes of communication for the first user communication device; receiving, from a second user communication device, a message via the preferred mode of communication for the first user communication device; receiving, from the second user communication device, an acknowledgement request related to the message via the preferred mode of communication for the first user communication device; receiving, from the second user communication device, a further message via a lower ranked mode of communication compared to the preferred mode of communication absent receipt, by the second user communication device, of an acknowledgement receipt related to the acknowledgement request; and receiving, from the second user communication device, an additional message after the further message via a higher ranked mode of communication compared to the lower ranked mode of communication upon reverting of the second user communication device to the higher ranked mode of communication for forwarding the additional message after the further message.
