NETWORK-BASED MESSAGING SYSTEM WITH DATABASE MANAGEMENT FOR COMPUTER BASED INTER-USER COMMUNICATION

摘要

Methods and systems for network-based messaging systems with database management for supporting based inter-user communications, such as via computing devices, are disclosed. The methods and systems facilitate improved message transmission management for more efficient communications. The methods and systems can provide enhanced electronic communications, such as via electronic mail or text messaging. Improved communication tools are provided to better manage and/or control communications. The computing devices can be personal communication/computing devices, such as mobile, portable or handheld computing devices (e.g., smart phone, a laptop, a tablet, etc.).

1. A cloud system for servicing message exchanges between users that operate as senders and recipients of messages, the cloud system comprising:
a server interfaced with storage, the storage used to store messages being exchanged by the users, the users being provided with access to the cloud system via user accounts managed by the cloud system, the user accounts enabling the users to send and receive messages, the server operates to receive messages from one or more senders and to cause the messages to be sent to one or more recipients, the server includes throttle logic that enables users to configure and apply throttle settings on the one or more senders that send messages, the throttle setting is a configuration that limits messages that will be presented to the recipient from the sender, configuration of the throttle settings further acting to provide an automatic notification to the sender informing the sender that messages sent to the recipient have been delayed due to throttling of the messages; and a database operatively accessible by the server, the database being configured to store message management data for the users, the message management data including the throttle settings.
