Benefits of technology
"The invention provides methods, systems, and media for messaging between devices such as computers, cellular phones, and PDAs. The technical effects of the invention include improved messaging between devices by receiving and comparing messaging preferences, and negotiating modifications to the preferences before determining whether to engage in a messaging session. The invention also allows for better communication between devices by reducing conflicts and facilitating negotiation between them."
Problems solved by technology
Despite advances in messaging, problems remain.
Unawareness of another user's preferences may lead to disconcerting results.
By this example, further problems are borne out.
That is, there is no effective means to ensure enforcement of each user's preferences, and there is no effective means to discuss modifications to each other's preferences before each user decides to commence with the messaging session.

Embodiment Construction
[0019]The following is a detailed description of example embodiments of the invention depicted in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments are examples and are in such detail as to clearly communicate the invention. However, the amount of detail offered is not intended to limit the anticipated variations of embodiments; on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. The detailed descriptions below are designed to make such embodiments obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
[0020]Generally speaking, systems, methods, and media for improved messaging are contemplated. More specifically, the improved messaging contemplated is between a first device having a first set of preferences and a second device having a second set of configurable messaging preferences, wherein the user of at least one device is aware of each device's preferences...

Methods, systems, and media are disclosed for a computer-implemented method for improved messaging between devices, which are local or remote to each other. One example embodiment includes a first device, having a first set of messaging preferences, receiving a second set of messaging preferences from a second device, such as a computer having instant messaging capabilities, in communication with the first device. Further, the example embodiment includes comparing the sets of messaging preferences to yield results showing if any conflicting messaging preferences exist between the devices. If conflicting messaging preferences exist, then the devices may negotiate in order to remove such conflicting messaging preferences. Further still, the example embodiment includes determining whether to commence the messaging based on the existence of any conflicting messaging preferences and by enforcing the possibly re-configured messaging preferences during a messaging session. If no conflicting preferences exist, then the messaging session commences.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE[0001]This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 870,530 entitled AWARENESS AND NEGOTIATION OF PREFERENCES FOR IMPROVED MESSAGING, attorney docket number AUS920040232US1 (4046), filed Jun. 17, 2004, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety for all purposes.FIELD OF INVENTION[0002]The invention generally relates to awareness and enforcement of messaging preferences associated with devices used in messaging. More particularly, the invention relates to methods, systems, and media for messaging between a first device, having a set of messaging preferences, and a second device also having a set of messaging preferences, wherein both devices are aware of the other device's associated messaging preferences, and the devices have the ability to negotiate over conflicting messaging preferences before engaging in messaging.BACKGROUND[0003]Messaging is a convenient and popular means for people to engage in local or ...
