Targeted notification of content availability to a mobile device

摘要

A system includes a first computing device client associated with a first user in a community of users operable to send content to publish to a data aggregation server. The data aggregation server is operable to receive the content to publish from the first computing device client, host a first user profile associated with the first user of the first computing device client, the first user profile identifying a targeted recipient in the community of users, and disseminate automatically the content received from the first computing device client to a second computing device client associated with the targeted recipient, without receiving input from the first computing device client explicitly specifying the targeted recipient to whom the content is disseminated.

1. A system comprising:
a first computing device client associated with a first user in a community of users operable to:
send content to publish to a data aggregation server,wherein the data aggregation server has a hardware processor operable to:receive the content to publish from the first computing device client;host a first user profile associated with the first user of the first computing device client;store relationship data in the first user profile, the relationship data reflecting relationships between the first user and one or more other users in the community of users,wherein the relationship is established by mutual agreement between users by inviting the one or more other users to establish a relationship with the first user and the one or more other users confirming the relationship;identify targeted recipients in the community of users based on the relationship data, the targeted recipients being a subset of the community of users;authenticate the targeted recipients by comparing information provided by the targeted recipients with information stored by the data aggregation server; anddisseminate the content received from the first computing device client to a second computing device client associated with at least one of the targeted recipients without receiving input from the first computing device client explicitly specifying the targeted recipient to whom the content is disseminated and without receiving input from the second computing device specifying the first user from which the content originated.
