Abstract

A system, method, computer program product, and carrier are described for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules and accepting text-containing content after obtaining the indication of the one or more message filtering rules and after a value acceptance of a delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules; and

accepting text-containing content after obtaining the indication of the one or more message filtering rules and after a value acceptance of a delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

13. The method of claim 1 in which accepting text-containing content after obtaining the indication of the one or more message filtering rules and after a value acceptance of a delivery evaluation of the text-containing content comprises:

signaling an acceptance of the text-containing content before receiving a last portion of the text-containing content.

2-12. -12. (canceled)

14-27. -27. (canceled)

28. A system comprising:

means for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules; and

means for accepting text-containing content operable some time after obtaining the indication of the one or more message filtering rules and after a value acceptance of a delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

41. The system of claim 28 in which the means for accepting text-containing content comprises:

means for generating the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content at least partly in response to an identifier of a target of the text-containing content.

29-40. -40. (canceled)

42-54. -54. (canceled)

55. A system comprising:

circuitry for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules; and

circuitry for accepting text-containing content operable some time after obtaining the indication of the one or more message filtering rules and after a value acceptance of a delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

56. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules comprises:

circuitry for receiving the indication of the one or more message filtering rules along one or more signal paths between one or more message sources and one or more message targets.

57. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules comprises:

circuitry for obtaining at least one gradational threshold in the indication of the one or more message filtering rules.

58. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules comprises:

circuitry for receiving at least one remote message filtering indication in the indication of the one or more message filtering rules.

59. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules comprises:

circuitry for obtaining at least a partial content acceptance as the indication of the one or more message filtering rules.

60. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules comprises:

circuitry for identifying one or more potential recipients in a message content destination selection.

61. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for accepting text-containing content comprises:

circuitry for causing an implementation of the delivery evaluation to reflect one or more updates.

62. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for accepting text-containing content comprises:

circuitry for determining whether the text-containing content contains one or more instances of a text data pattern.

63. The system of claim 55, further comprising:

circuitry for causing a resource transfer at least partly based on the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

64. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules comprises:

circuitry for receiving the indication of the one or more message filtering rules operable some time after evaluating one or more specified message deliveries.

65. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for accepting text-containing content comprises:

circuitry for accepting the text-containing content operable some time after accepting the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

66. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for accepting text-containing content comprises:

circuitry for accepting the text-containing content operable some time after one or more remote entities accept the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

67. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for accepting text-containing content comprises:

circuitry for signaling an acceptance of the text-containing content before receiving a last portion of the text-containing content.

68. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for accepting text-containing content comprises:

circuitry for generating the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content at least partly in response to an identifier of a target of the text-containing content.

69. The system of claim 55 in which the circuitry for obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules comprises:

circuitry for evaluating one or more specified message deliveries;

circuitry for obtaining at least a partial content acceptance of message content, one or more gradational thresholds, one or more selections of one or more message content destinations, and a remote message filtering indication as the indication of the one or more message filtering rules by receiving data about the one or more message filtering rules into one or more modules along one or more signal paths between one or more message sources and one or more message targets operable some time after evaluating the one or more specified message deliveries; and

circuitry for identifying one or more potential recipients in the one or more selections of the one or more message content destinations.

70. The system of claim 69 in which the circuitry for accepting text-containing content comprises:

circuitry for causing an implementation of the delivery evaluation to reflect one or more updates;

circuitry for receiving a first text portion of the text-containing content;

circuitry for generating at least the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content in response to an identifier of at least one of the one or more message targets and in response to a determination that the first text portion contains one or more instances of a first text data pattern.

circuitry for receiving a remainder of the text-containing content; and

circuitry for signaling a resource transfer denoting an acceptance of the text-containing content if and only (a) if a signal is received indicating that one or more remote entities accept the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content and (b) if the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content passes one or more quantitative criteria, and otherwise signaling a rejection of the text-containing content.

81. The system of claim 68 in which the circuitry for accepting text-containing content comprises:

circuitry for accepting the text-containing content operable some time after one or more remote entities accept the delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

71-80. -80. (canceled)

82. An apparatus comprising:

one or more physical media configured to bear a device-detectable implementation of a method including at least

obtaining an indication of one or more message filtering rules; and

accepting text-containing content after obtaining the indication of the one or more message filtering rules and after a value acceptance of a delivery evaluation of the text-containing content.

92. The apparatus of claim 82 in which at least one of the one or more physical media comprises:

one or more signal-bearing media bearing an implementation access service operated to access a remote server running another implementation as a portion of the device-detectable implementation.
