Abstract

Provided is a system and method for centralizing common messaging (i.e. conveying or presenting information to a recipient/observer) 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 brought to MS applications 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 are automatically presented for a variety of triggering events, and in accordance with reconciled configurations between an originator'"'"'s intent and an observer'"'"'s preferences. In a preferred embodiment, the Location Based eXchange (LBX) method and system is leveraged, for example in configuring a triggered event for automatically processing an Out-Going Message (OGM), Out-going Caller Message (OCM), Confirmation Of delivery Messages (COM), or ADvertising message (AD).

Claims

1. ) A method for information presentation, said method comprising:

receiving at a receiving data processing system a presentation object containing said information and associated instructions for presenting said information;

determining an event to present said information using an originator'"'"'s intent configured in event specifications of said instructions;

storing said object for presentation upon future detection of said event at said receiving data processing system;

automatically configuring the monitoring of said event at said receiving data processing system;

recognizing said event for triggering presentation of said information;

presenting said information, upon recognizing said event, using an originator'"'"'s intent configured in presentation specifications of said instructions.

2. ) The method of claim 1 wherein using an originator'"'"'s intent configured in event specifications of said instructions comprises reconciling said event specifications with preferences configured by a user of said receiving data processing system.

3. ) The method of claim 1 wherein using an originator'"'"'s intent configured in presentation specifications of said instructions comprises reconciling said presentation specifications with preferences configured by a user of said receiving data processing system.

4. ) The method of claim 1 further including presenting a prompt to a user at said receiving data processing system prior to presenting said information.

5. ) The method of claim 4 wherein said prompt is determined by reconciling originator intent in said instructions with preferences configured by a user of said receiving data processing system.

6. ) The method of claim 4 wherein said prompt provides said user with options for delaying presentation of said information for a later time.

7. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said instructions contain an expiration, said expiration used to cancel presentation of said information.

8. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said event comprises installing or uninstalling an application.

9. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said event comprises detecting content in a focused user interface.

10. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said event comprises detecting content output to a peripheral.

11. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said event comprises detecting content input from a peripheral.

12. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said event comprises locking or unlocking use of said receiving data processing system.

13. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said event comprises entering search criteria to a search application.

14. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said event comprises an inbound or outbound application event.

15. ) The method of claim 14 wherein said application event is determined using matched content contained in a distribution of said application event.

16. ) The method of claim 14 wherein said application event is an email application event.

17. ) The method of claim 16 wherein said email application event includes matching criteria to content contained in an email distribution.

18. ) The method of claim 14 wherein said application event is a text message application event.

19. ) The method of claim 18 wherein said text message application event includes matching criteria to content contained in a text message.

20. ) The method of claim 1 wherein said information is not to be presented at a location described by user maintained waymark information.
