Notification infrastructure for sending device-specific wireless notifications

摘要

A data store is monitored for a change in the data store. A notification communication is generated upon detecting that the change has occurred. The notification communication is formatted based on a wireless device associated with the data store. The notification communication is sent to the wireless device associated with the data store.

主权项

1. A method for providing notifications, the method being performed by a computing device and comprising:
receiving data associated with a wireless communication device in a data store of the computing device, the data associated with the wireless communication device comprising a content of at least one record associated with the wireless communication device; in response to a change in the data store, generating a notification that includes information that conveys (i) a type of the change in the data store, (ii) a source of the change in the data store, and (iii) an updated content of a record that corresponds to the change in the data store, wherein generating the notification includes generating an indicator as part of the notification that, when received by the wireless communication device, causes an application executable on the wireless communication device to synchronize data stored in the wireless communication device with the updated content in the data store based on the change in the data store; selecting a protocol and a format for the notification based on a capability associated with the wireless communication device; in response to selecting the protocol, determining whether the notification is capable of being sent to the wireless communication device at one time in its entirety; based on a determination that the notification is capable of being sent at one time in its entirety, sending the notification to the wireless communication device in the selected format and using the selected protocol in response to receiving a communication event from the wireless communication device; and based on a determination that the notification is incapable of being sent at one time in its entirety,
segmenting the notification into a plurality of notification segments; andsending the plurality of notification segments to the wireless communication device in the selected format and using the selected protocol in response to receiving the communication event, wherein the plurality of notification segments are enabled for reassembly into the notification.
