Abstract

A method of operation of a communication system includes: establishing a geofence; setting a reception time period; and receiving a message originating within the geofence and within the reception time period for displaying on a device.

Claims

1. A method of operation of a communication system comprising:

establishing an event context for receiving a message;

establishing a geofence based on the event context for representing a region for evaluating whether the message is acceptable for a message recipient, the message sent from a message sender to the message recipient;

setting a reception time period based on the event context for evaluating a time associated with receiving the message;

identifying a source characteristic for uniquely identifying the message sender;

establishing a pre-defined characteristic set for establishing requirements of the message sender for receiving the message; and

receiving the message when the message is originated within the geofence during the reception time period, and when the source characteristic corresponds to the pre-defined characteristic set for providing the message recipient with the message for displaying on a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:

receiving the message includes receiving the message based on matching the source characteristic to the predefined characteristic set.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

setting a future grace period;

determining a source future location; and

wherein receiving the message includes;

comparing the source future location identified within the time not exceeding the future grace period, and the geofence.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

setting a past grace period;

determining a source prior location; and

wherein receiving the message includes;

comparing the source prior location identified within the time not exceeding the past grace period, and the geofence.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

determining a total recipient count; and

wherein receiving the message includes;

comparing the total recipient count to a recipient count limit.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

evaluating a recipient correlation; and

wherein receiving the message includes;

comparing the recipient correlation to a recipient correlation limit.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

evaluating a content correlation; and

wherein receiving the message includes;

comparing the content correlation to a content correlation limit.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:

identifying a content filter item based on the event context; and

searching a message content for the content filter item.

9. A communication system comprising:

at least one instance of a processor;

at least one instance of a memory, the memory storing modules including instructions for execution by the at least one instance of the processor, the memory storing;

an event context module for establishing an event context for receiving a message,

a geofence module for establishing a geofence based on the event context for representing a region for evaluating whether the message is acceptable for a message recipient, the message sent from a message sender to the message recipient,

a reception time-window module, coupled to the geofence module, for setting a reception time period based on the event context for evaluating a time associated with receiving the message,

a source-characteristic identifier module, coupled to the reception time-window module, for identifying a source characteristic for uniquely identifying the message sender,

an acceptable characteristic module, coupled to the source-characteristic identifier module, for establishing a pre-defined characteristic set for establishing requirements of the message sender for receiving the message, and

a message reception module, coupled to the reception time-window module, for receiving the message when the message is originated within the geofence during the reception time period, associated with the event context, and when the source characteristic corresponds to the pre-defined characteristic set for providing the message recipient with the message for displaying on a device.

10. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the memory includes:

a characteristic comparator module, coupled to the acceptable characteristic module, for matching the source characteristic to the pre-defined characteristic set.

11. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the memory includes:

a location comparator module, coupled to the geofence module, for comparing a source future location identified within the time not exceeding a future grace period, and the geofence;

a future buffer module, coupled to the location comparator module, for setting the future grace period; and

a calendar access module, coupled to the location comparator module, for determining the source future location.

12. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the memory includes:

a location comparator module, coupled to the geofence module, for comparing a source prior location identified within the time not exceeding a past grace period, and the geofence;

a past buffer module, coupled to the location comparator module, for setting the past grace period; and

a calendar access module, coupled to the location comparator module, for determining the source prior location.

13. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the memory includes:

a recipient counter module, coupled to the characteristic comparator module, for determining a total recipient count; and

a recipient comparator module, coupled to the characteristic comparator module, for comparing the total recipient count to a recipient count limit.

14. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the memory includes:

a recipient correlation module, coupled to the characteristic comparator module, for evaluating a recipient correlation; and

a recipient comparator module, coupled to the characteristic comparator module, for comparing the recipient correlation to a recipient correlation limit.

15. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the memory includes:

a content correlation module, coupled to the event context module, for evaluating a content correlation; and

a content comparator module, coupled to the event context module, for comparing the content correlation to a content correlation limit.

16. The system as claimed in claim 9 wherein the memory includes:

a filter word module, coupled to the event context module, for identifying a content filter item based on the event context; and

a content comparator module, coupled to the filter word module, for searching a message content for the content filter item.
