Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for providing a unified notification system. A notification is transmitted to a receiving device and a determination is reached as to whether the message was successfully delivered to the receiving device. If the message was not delivered, a second notification type is utilized to deliver the message to the receiving device. If the message was not delivered to the receiving device, a third notification type is utilized. This cycle repeats a number of times.

Claims (49)

1 . A method for providing notifications to a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

receiving a first message destined for the UE, wherein the first message has a first format;

determining that the UE is not connected to a first radio access network;

determining that the UE is connected to a second radio access network, the second radio access network being a different type of radio access network than the first radio access network;

determining that a delivery of the first message to the UE using the first format was unsuccessful;

based on said determinations, and based on notification type capabilities of the UE, converting, by a notification system of a telecommunications network, the first message to a second message, the second message having a second format different than the first format; and

communicating the second message to the second radio access network for delivery to the UE.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the second radio access network is a satellite radio access network and the first radio access network is a terrestrial radio access network.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the second format is SMS.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the first format is a phone call.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining that the second message was not received at the UE using the second format;

based on the second message not being received at the UE, determining a third format for a third message to be sent to the UE; and

sending the third message to the UE using the third format, wherein the third format is different than the first format and the second format.

6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising transmitting the first message to the UE until a threshold has been met, wherein the threshold is a number of total times that a notification cycle occurred.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the notification cycle is a combination of the first format, the second format, and the third format.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first format and the second format are one or more of email, SMS, push, phone call, or voicemail.

9 . A non-transitory computer readable media, that when executed by one or more computer processing components, cause the one or more computer processing components to perform operations comprising:

receiving a first message destined for a UE, wherein the first message has a first format;

determining that the UE is not connected to a first radio access network;

determining that the UE is connected to a second radio access network, the second radio access network being a different type of radio access network than the first radio access network;

determining that a delivery of the first message to the UE using the first format was unsuccessful;

based on said determinations, and based on notification type capabilities of the UE, converting, by a notification system of a telecommunications network, the first message to a second message, the second message having a second format different than the first format; and

communicating the second message to the second radio access network for delivery to the UE.

10 . The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 9 , wherein the second radio access network is a satellite radio access network and the first radio access network is a terrestrial radio access network.

11 . The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 10 , wherein the second format is SMS.

12 . The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 11 , wherein the first format is a phone call.

13 . The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 9 , wherein the first format and the second format are one or more of email, SMS, push, phone call, or voicemail.

14 . The non-transitory computer readable media of claim 9 , further comprising:

determining that the second message was not received at the UE using the second format;

based on the second message not being received at the UE, determining a third message to be sent to the UE using a third format; and

sending the third message to the UE via the third format, wherein the third format is different than the first format and the second format.

15 . A system for providing notifications to a UE, the system comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more non-transitory computer storage hardware devices storing computer-usable instructions that, when used by the one of more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

receive a first message destined for the UE, wherein the first message has a first format;

determine that the UE is not connected to a first radio access network;

determine that the UE is connected to a second radio access network, the second radio access network being a different type of radio access network than the first radio access network;

determine that a delivery of the first message to the UE using the first format was unsuccessful;

based on said determinations, and based on notification type capabilities of the UE, converting, by a notification system of a telecommunications network, the first message to a second message, the second message having a second format different than the first format; and

communicate the second message to the second radio access network for delivery to the UE.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the second radio access network is a satellite radio access network and the first radio access network is a terrestrial radio access network.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the second format is SMS.

18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the first format is a phone call.

19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the first format and the second format are one or more of email, SMS, push, phone call, or voicemail.

20 . The system of claim 15 , further comprising:

determining that the second message was not received at the UE using the second format;

based on the second message not being received at the UE, determining a third message to be sent to the UE using a third format; and

sending the third message to the UE via the third format, wherein the third format is different than the first format and the second format.
