METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING NOTIFICATIONS TO A MOBILE DEVICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH USER PREFERENCES

摘要

A mobile device (102) employs a throttle filter to reduce a number of notifications or messages received from a server (104). The throttle filter allows content segments, such as keywords and anti-keywords, to be mapped to sources of content. The mobile device (102) then transmits throttle filter data to a data throttle manager (114) of the server (104). A processing module (115) in the server (104) can then sort and prioritize messages in accordance with the throttle filter data such that notifications of interest to a user are delivered to the mobile device (102). Other notifications of less interest to the user can be delivered to other devices (109).
