Communication device and method for overriding a message filter
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- transmitting a first message from a communication device to a communication network via a communication interface, said first message associated with a filtering override condition stored at a memory, said communication device comprising a processor, said memory, said communication device and an alert device;
storing, at said memory, an identifier of said first message in a white list of identifiers of messages for which alerts for responses are to be generated regardless of any message filters that prevent alerts for from being provided for the responses;
receiving, at the communication device, a second message from said communication network via said communication interface, said second message meeting a filtering condition stored in said memory such that said alert device is not triggered to provide an alert of second message;
determining that said second message is received in response to said first message associated with said filtering override condition; and
, in response,triggering said alert device to provide said alert of said second message, said alert of said second message different from alerts associated with said first message.

Abstract
A communication device and method for overriding a message filter are provided. A first message is transmitted from the communication device to a communication network, the first message associated with a filtering override condition stored at a memory device. A second message is received from the communication network, the second message meeting a filtering condition stored in the memory device such that an alert device is not triggered to provide an alert of second message. The second message us determined to be received in response to the first message associated the filtering override condition, and in response, the alert device is triggered to provide the alert of the second message.

10. A communication device comprising:
-
a processor, a memory, a communication interface and an alert device, said processor configured to; transmit a first message to a communication network via said communication interface, said first message associated with a filtering override condition stored at said memory; store, at said memory, an identifier of said first message in a white list of identifiers of messages for which alerts for responses are to be generated regardless of any message filters that prevent alerts for from being provided for the responses; receive a second message from said communication network via said communication interface, said second message meeting a filtering condition stored in said memory such that said alert device is not triggered to provide an alert of second message; determine that said second message is received in response to said first message associated with said filtering override condition; and
, in response,trigger said alert device to provide said alert of said second message, said alert of said second message different from alerts associated with said first message. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19)

20. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having a computer readable program code adapted to be executed to implement a method at a communication device comprising a processor, a memory, a communication interface and an alert device, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a first message from said communication device to a communication network via said communication interface, said first message associated with a filtering override condition stored at said memory; storing, at said memory, an identifier of said first message in a white list of identifiers of messages for which alerts for responses are to be generated regardless of any message filters that prevent alerts for from being provided for the responses; receiving, at said communication device, a second message from said communication network via said communication interface, said second message meeting a filtering condition stored in said memory such that said alert device is not triggered to provide an alert of second message; determining that said second message is received in response to said first message associated with said filtering override condition; and
, in response,triggering said alert device to provide said alert of said second message, said alert of said second message different from alerts associated with said first message.
