Abstract

The present invention describes a method and system for providing dynamically customized web push messages in a wireless network. The method comprises receiving at least one push message from at least one content provider, customizing the at least one push message based on one or more instructions stored in a gateway server, and pushing the at least one push message to at least one user device, based on the customization of the at least one push message at the gateway server. The system comprises at least one content provider, at least one push server, a gateway server, and at least one user device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method of providing dynamically customized web push messages in a wireless network, the method comprising:
receiving at least one push message from at least one content provider; customizing the at least one push message based on one or more instructions stored in a gateway server; and pushing the at least one push message to at least one user device, based on the customization of the at least one push message at the gateway server.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein customizing the at least one push message for enabling delivery of the at least one push message to a user even if multiple users are using the same device.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising authenticating a user by the content provider before providing the at least one push message.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising redirecting the message to another device or synced device or another user based on at least one of a user configuration and subscription.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein customizing the at least one push message by one of a content provider and intermediate server based on at least one of a feedback, statistics and usage results received from the at least one user device.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing user preference to at least one of a content provider and sync server.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one push message provided by the content provider is synced with the at least one user device based on at least one of a device sync option and accounts sync option.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising configuring the at least one push message by a master user device as per the needs of one or more connected devices if the one or more connected device is not governed by one of the content provider and intermediate server, for providing additional features and functionalities.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing updated feedback, and statistics from the connected device to at least one of the content provider and intermediate server.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein customizing the at least one push message comprises configuring one or more parameters in the at least one push message for auto deletion from the user's device once a scheduled event time expires, as well as auto update of the push message.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein customizing the at least one push message comprises configuring one or more parameters in the at least one push message in order to customize appearance and presentation of the at least one push message.

12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein customizing the at least one push message comprises configuring one or more policies in the at least one push message.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein customizing the at least one push message comprises at least one of:
integrating the at least one push message with one or more applications in the device in order to provide dynamic update to the user; dynamically changing an icon without the user having to download a new version of the application; and providing the user an option to either select or reject follow up sub-content.

14 . A system for providing dynamically customized web push messages in a wireless network, the system comprising:
at least one content provider; at least one push server for pushing the at least one push message to at least one user device; and a gateway server coupled to the at least one content provider, the at least one push server, and the at least one user device having a gateway client for customizing the at least one push message based one or more instructions stored at the gateway server.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one user device comprises at least one push client corresponding to the at least one push server for enabling communication between the at least one push server and the at least one user device.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one user device comprises at least one gateway client corresponding the at least one gateway server for enabling communication between the at least one gateway server and the at least one user device.

17 . The system of claim 14 , wherein
the at least one user device comprises an interface for customizing the at least one push message in order to pass API calls to the gateway server, and wherein the gateway server is configured to change at least one of a content, policy, profile and subscription on the basis of the one or more parameters received from the at least one user device.

18 . The system of claim 14 ,
wherein the at least one user device comprises a customized widget for displaying the at least one push message, and wherein the customized widget is time bound and automatically gets removed from the at least one user device once time expires.

19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one user device is configured to process a request received from one or more connected devices in order to provide the processed request to the one or more content providers.

20 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the at least one user device is configured to receive feedback from the one or more connected devices in order to provide the feedback to the one or more content providers.

21 . A method of dynamically customizing at least one push message from a content provider, the method comprising:
retrieving information of at least one user device by a gateway client of the corresponding user device; defining a set of rules dynamically by a gateway server based on the retrieved information of the at least one user device; and regulating transmission of the at least one push message by the gateway server based on the defined set of rules.

22 . The method of claim 21 , wherein the retrieved information comprises at least one of user's preference based on usage statistics of user device learned from usage history of user, configuration provided by user, and location of user.

23 . The method of claim 21 , further comprising configuring at least one security setting for each domain by at least one of a user, gateway server, and content provider, and wherein the security settings comprises at least one of a low, medium and high.

24 . The method of claim 23 , wherein displaying the at least one message when the security setting is configured as low, and
displaying header of the at least one message when the security setting is configured as one of a medium and high in absence of user authentication.

25 . The method of claim 23 , wherein displaying the at least one message on user being authenticated and the at least one push message is encrypted by the gateway server, when the security setting is configured as one of a medium and high.

26 . The method of claim 21 , wherein defining a set of rules dynamically by a gateway server based on the retrieved information of the at least one user device comprises:
classifying the retrieved information by the gateway client; sending the classified information to the gateway server; correlating the classified information with the time, location of the user and configuration in the user device set by the user; and defining a set of rules dynamically using the correlated classified information.

27 . The method as claimed in claim 21 , wherein regulating transmission of
