Benefits of technology

[0006] The invention comprises an improved demand-based messaging system that enables a user to effectively manage multiple messaging sessions.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, the popularity of such messaging services directly affects the convenience and efficiency with which users can exchange communications, even making such communications disruptive at times. For example, it is not uncommon for users to have important instant messaging sessions active with one or more users, while other users continue to interrupt the flow of communications with unrelated messages.
With such limited means for managing the exchange of communications, any given messaging user is available to some sub-set of other users.
Thus, existing messaging applications remain too cumbersome to manage communications effectively and there remains a need to advance the state of the art of demand-based messaging to overcome these shortcomings.

Abstract

The invention comprises an improved demand-based messaging system that enables a user to effectively manage multiple messaging sessions. The messaging system comprises a messaging program operable on a plurality of electrical computers or data processing machines connected by one or more communications media. The messaging program comprises a conventional message composer program, a conventional message transport program, a conventional message reader program, and an inventive, user-configurable, policy-driven session management program.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is a process for using electrical computers or digital processing systems to transfer data via one or more communications media. In particular, the present invention comprises an improved demand-based messaging system that enables a message recipient to manage messaging sessions. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Demand-based messaging is a communication service that allows people to exchange message data, such as text, over a network or other communications media, in real time. Probably the most common medium for exchange is the Internet, but as wireless phone networks continue to expand, their popularity for text messaging is also expanding. U.S. Pat. No. 6,301,609 issued to Aravamudun et al., and U.S. Patent Publications Nos. 2002 / 0035605 and 2004 / 0254998, for example, illustrate the move toward an exchange medium that unifies traditional and wireless communications. Instant messaging (IM) is perhaps the most widely known and u...
