View Patent ↗In one embodiment, a mobile device determines a notification mode based on the mobile device's user interface mode, and transmits a message comprising the notification mode to a server, causing the server to transmit one or more messages to the mobile device based on the notification mode.
1. A method comprising:
by one or more computing device, receiving, from a mobile computing device of a first user, a first message indicating a notification mode of the mobile device, wherein the notification mode is based on user-interface mode of the mobile computing device;
by one or more computing device, accessing one or more services with one or more messages to send the first user;
by one or more computing device, determining a value of each of the message; and
by one or more computing device, sending to the mobile computing device at least one of the messages based on the notification mode and the values of the messages;
wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs when a size of the queue is greater than a pre-determined threshold.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the value of a message is based on an affinity between the first user and a sender of the message.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs at a pre-determined time interval.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs when a real-time message is to be sent to the mobile computing device.
5. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
receive, from a mobile computing device of a first user, a first message indicating a notification mode of the mobile device, wherein the notification mode is based on a user-interface mode of the mobile computing device;
access one or more services with one or more messages to send to the first user;
determine a value of each of the messages; and to the mobile computing device at least one of the messages based on the notification mode and the values of the messages;
wherein, to transmit to the mobile computing device at least one of the outgoing messages, the software is further operable when executed to:
select and store in a queue one or more of the messages based on their values; and
send at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device at a later time;
wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs when a size of the queue is greater than a pre-determined threshold.
6. The media of claim 5 , wherein the value of a message is based on an affinity between the first user and a sender of the message.
7. The media of claim 5 , wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs at a pre-determined time interval.
8. The media of claim 5 , wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs when a real-time message is to be sent to the mobile computing device.
9. A system comprising:
One or more processors; and
a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
receive, from a mobile computing device of a first user, a first message indicating a notification mode of the mobile device, wherein the notification mode is based on a user-interface mode of the mobile computing device;
access one or more services with one or more messages to send to the first user;
determine a value of each of the messages; and
to the mobile computing device at least one of the messages based on the notification mode and the values of the messages;
wherein, to transmit to the mobile computing device at least one of the outgoing messages, the processors are further operable when executing the instructions to:
select and store in a queue one or more of the messages based on their values; and
send at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device at a later time;
wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs when a size of the queue is greater than a pre-determined threshold.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the value of a message is based on an affinity between the first user and a sender of the message.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs at a pre-determined time interval.
12. The system of claim 9 , wherein sending at least one of the messages in the queue to the mobile computing device occurs when a real-time message is to be sent to the mobile computing device.
