Abstract

Embodiments relate to criteria-based data push. An aspect includes receiving, by a criteria request server, a data push request from a user, the data push request specifying criteria for particular data to be pushed and a user device to receive the particular data. Another aspect includes forwarding the data push request to an incoming data monitor. Another aspect includes monitoring, by the incoming data monitor, incoming data received from one or more content providers. Yet another aspect includes, based on detecting the particular data that is specified by the data push request in the incoming data by the incoming data monitor, pushing the particular data to the user device.

Claims

1. A computer implemented method for criteria-based data push, the method comprising:

receiving, by a criteria request server, a data push request from a user, the data push request specifying criteria for particular data to be pushed and a user device to receive the particular data, wherein the data push request specifies a plurality of user devices to receive the particular data, and wherein the particular data is pushed to the plurality of user devices;

formatting, by the criteria request server, the data push request as a cloud data management interface (CDMI) command;

forwarding the data push request to an incoming data monitor, wherein forwarding the data push request to the incoming data monitor comprises forwarding the CDMI command;

monitoring, by the incoming data monitor, incoming data received from one or more content providers; and

based on detecting the particular data that is specified by the data push request in the incoming data by the incoming data monitor, pushing, via a push service, the particular data to the user device, wherein pushing the particular data to the user device comprises notifying the push service by the incoming data monitor.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the data push request is received from an application running on the user device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the incoming data monitor simultaneously monitors the incoming data for a plurality of data push requests.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the criteria request server, a request to modify the data push request, and forwarding, by the criteria request server, the request to modify the data push request to the incoming data monitor.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the incoming data monitor simultaneously monitors the incoming data for a plurality of data push requests.

6. A computer program product for implementing criteria-based data push, the computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by a processing circuit to cause the processing circuit to perform a method comprising;

receiving, by a criteria request server, a data push request from a user, the data push request specifying criteria for particular data to be pushed and a user device to receive the particular data, wherein the data push request specifies a plurality of user devices to receive the particular data, and wherein the particular data is pushed to the plurality of user devices;

formatting, by the criteria request server, the data push request as a cloud data management interface (CDMI) command;

forwarding the data push request to an incoming data monitor, wherein forwarding the data push request to the incoming data monitor comprises forwarding the CDMI command;

monitoring, by the incoming data monitor, incoming data received from one or more content providers; and

based on detecting the particular data that is specified by the data push request in the incoming data by the incoming data monitor, pushing, via a push service, the particular data to the user device, wherein pushing the particular data to the user device comprises notifying the push service by the incoming data monitor.

7. The computer program product of claim 6, wherein the data push request is received from an application running on the user device.

8. The computer program product of claim 6, further comprising receiving, by the criteria request server, a request to modify the data push request, and forwarding, by the criteria request server, the request to modify the data push request to the incoming data monitor.

9. A computer system for criteria-based data push, the system comprising:

a memory; and

a processor, communicatively coupled to said memory, the computer system configured to perform a method comprising;

receiving, by a criteria request server, a data push request from a user, the data push request specifying criteria for particular data to be pushed and a user device to receive the particular data, wherein the data push request specifies a plurality of user devices to receive the particular data, and wherein the particular data is pushed to the plurality of user devices;

formatting, by the criteria request server, the data push request as a cloud data management interface (CDMI) command;

forwarding the data push request to an incoming data monitor, wherein forwarding the data push request to the incoming data monitor comprises forwarding the CDMI command;

monitoring, by the incoming data monitor, incoming data received from one or more content providers; and

based on detecting the particular data that is specified by the data push request in the incoming data by the incoming data monitor, pushing, via a push service, the particular data to the user device, wherein pushing the particular data to the user device comprises notifying the push service by the incoming data monitor.

10. The system of claim 9, wherein the data push request is received from an application running on the user device.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the incoming data monitor simultaneously monitors the incoming data for a plurality of data push requests.
