1. A messaging control method comprising:
- detecting at least one of incoming messages to a mobile device and outgoing messages from the mobile device;
determining by at least one processor a number of and a time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages;
limiting at least one of message transmission and message receipt by the mobile device based at least on the number and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; and
providing a notification to at least one user based at least on the number and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages.

Abstract
A messaging control system and method are provided. The method includes detecting incoming messages to a mobile device and outgoing messages from the mobile device. One or more processors determine a number of and a time proximity of the incoming messages or the outgoing messages, and message transmission or message receipt by the mobile device is limited based at least on the number of and time proximity of the incoming messages or the outgoing messages.

17. A messaging control method comprising:
-
detecting at least one of a plurality of incoming messages to a mobile device and a plurality of outgoing messages from the mobile device; determining by at least one processor a number of and a time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; and limiting at least one of message transmission and message receipt by the mobile device based at least on the number and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; at least one of comparing content of the plurality of incoming messages and comparing content of the plurality of outgoing messages to determine a particular similarity; and limiting the at least one of message transmission and message receipt based at least on the number and time proximity and the determination of the particular similarity. - View Dependent Claims (18)

19. A messaging control method comprising:
-
detecting at least one of incoming messages to a mobile device and outgoing messages from the mobile device; determining by at least one processor a number of and a time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; and limiting at least one of message transmission and message receipt by the mobile device based at least on the number and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; determining a sentiment of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; and limiting the at least one of message transmission and message receipt based at least on the number and time proximity and the determination of the particular sentiment. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. A messaging control method comprising:
-
detecting at least one of incoming messages to a mobile device and outgoing messages from the mobile device; determining by at least one processor a number of and a time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; and limiting at least one of message transmission and message receipt by the mobile device based at least on the number and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; determining a telecommunication carrier pricing plan corresponding to an account for the mobile device; and limiting the at least one of message transmission and message receipt by the mobile device based at least on the number and time proximity and the pricing plan. - View Dependent Claims (23)

24. A computing system comprising at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium having encoded thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of the system, cause the system to perform a process including:
-
detecting at least one of incoming messages to a mobile device and outgoing messages from the mobile device; determining by at least one processor a number and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; limiting at least one of message transmission and message receipt by the mobile device based at least on the number of and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; and providing a notification to at least one user based at least on the number and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages. - View Dependent Claims (25)

26. A communications network comprising a first device corresponding to a first user, the first device configured for:
-
detecting at least one of incoming messages to the first device and outgoing messages from the first device; determining by at least one processor a number of and a time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages and the outgoing messages; and transmitting a notification based at least on the number of and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages to the first device and the outgoing messages to the first device; and a second device corresponding to a second user configured for; receiving a notification based at least on the number of and time proximity of the at least one of the incoming messages to the first device and the outgoing messages to the first device; receiving instructions from the second user to limit at least one of message transmission and message receipt by the first device; and transmitting the instructions to a computing system operable to enable limiting at least one of message transmission and message receipt by the first device. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29)
