SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING TIME-SENSITIVE ALERTS IN A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method of receiving alerts through a communications network, the method comprising:
- providing a mobile device registered in the network, said mobile device comprising a pop-up management module and a display;
providing a communications interface between the mobile device and one or more database systems located outside the network;
providing a user interface in the mobile device configured to allow the user to selectively choose to display, on the display, one or more message types generated by the one or more database systems,wherein a message of said one or more message types are pushed over the network from a network server and received by the mobile device, wherein said received message is processed by said pop-up management module and displayed on the display as a pop-up message.

Abstract
In various embodiments, a method for receiving alerts through a network includes providing a device having a pop-up management module and a display; providing a communications interface between the device and one or more database systems located outside the network; providing a user interface configured to allow the user to selectively choose to display, on the display, one or more message types generated by the one or more database systems, wherein said one or more message types are received by said pop-up management module via the network and displayed on the display as a pop-up message. A related system includes a device registered in the network having a processor, a memory device, a transceiver, a user interface, and a display, wherein the processor is configured to control a pop-up management module for displaying one or more message types as a pop-up message. The device may be a WiMAX-enabled device and the network may be a WiMAX network.

25. A computer-readable medium comprising computer readable code embodied thereon which, when executed by a processor arranged in a WiMAX-enabled device comprising a display, a pop-up management module, and a user interface, causes the processor to carry out the functions of:
-
receiving one or more alert message types over a communications interface between the WiMAX-enabled device and one or more database systems located outside the WiMAX network; allowing the user to selectively configure display characteristics for each of the one or more message types received from the one or more database systems; processing one or more messages from the one or more database systems in the pop-up management module; and displaying said one or more messages processed by said pop-up management module on the display as a pop-up message. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
