Abstract

An information handling system may include at least one processor and a memory. The information handling system may be configured to: receive information regarding a notification for a particular user of a plurality of users, wherein each user of the plurality of users is associated with one or more endpoint devices capable of receiving notifications; determine a particular endpoint device, wherein the particular endpoint device is a most recently used one of the one or more endpoint devices associated with the particular user; transmit the notification to the particular endpoint; and in response to a non-acknowledgment of the transmit the notification, notification to a different endpoint device of the one or more endpoint devices associated with the particular user.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information handling system comprising:
at least one processor; and a memory; wherein the information handling system is configured to: receive information regarding a notification for a particular user of a plurality of users, wherein each user of the plurality of users is associated with one or more endpoint devices capable of receiving notifications; determine a particular endpoint device, wherein the particular endpoint device is a most recently used one of the one or more endpoint devices associated with the particular user; transmit the notification to the particular endpoint device; and in response to a non-acknowledgment of the notification, transmit the notification to a different endpoint device of the one or more endpoint devices associated with the particular user.

2 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the notification relates to installation of an update.

3 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more endpoint devices includes at least one laptop and at least one smartphone.

4 . The information handling system of claim 1 , further configured to:
receive information regarding a plurality of notifications for the particular user; determine that one of the plurality of notifications is duplicative of another one of the plurality of notifications; and suppress the one of the plurality of notifications from being transmitted.

5 . The information handling system of claim 1 , further configured to:
prior to receiving the information regarding the notification, receive a subscription request from the particular user.

6 . The information handling system of claim 1 , wherein transmitting the notification to the particular endpoint device comprises communicating with an on-the-box service executing at the particular endpoint device.

7 . A method comprising:
an information handling system receiving information regarding a notification for a particular user of a plurality of users, wherein each user of the plurality of users is associated with one or more endpoint devices capable of receiving notifications; the information handling system determining a particular endpoint device, wherein the particular endpoint device is a most recently used one of the one or more endpoint devices associated with the particular user; the information handling system transmitting the notification to the particular endpoint device; and in response to a non-acknowledgment of the notification, the information handling system transmitting the notification to a different endpoint device of the one or more endpoint devices associated with the particular user.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the notification relates to installation of an update.

9 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more endpoint devices includes at least one laptop and at least one smartphone.

10 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
the information handling system receiving information regarding a plurality of notifications for the particular user; the information handling system determining that one of the plurality of notifications is duplicative of another one of the plurality of notifications; and the information handling system suppressing the one of the plurality of notifications from being transmitted.

11 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising:
prior to receiving the information regarding the notification, the information handling system receiving a subscription request from the particular user.

12 . The method of claim 7 , wherein transmitting the notification to the particular endpoint device comprises communicating with an on-the-box service executing at the particular endpoint device.

13 . An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions thereon that are executable by a processor of an information handling system for:
receiving information regarding a notification for a particular user of a plurality of users, wherein each user of the plurality of users is associated with one or more endpoint devices capable of receiving notifications; determining a particular endpoint device, wherein the particular endpoint device is a most recently used one of the one or more endpoint devices associated with the particular user; transmitting the notification to the particular endpoint device; and in response to a non-acknowledgment of the notification, transmitting the notification to a different endpoint device of the one or more endpoint devices associated with the particular user.

14 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the notification relates to installation of an update.

15 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the one or more endpoint devices includes at least one laptop and at least one smartphone.

16 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are further executable for:
receiving information regarding a plurality of notifications for the particular user; determining that one of the plurality of notifications is duplicative of another one of the plurality of notifications; and suppressing the one of the plurality of notifications from being transmitted.

17 . The article of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are further executable for:
prior to receiving the information regarding the notification, receiving a subscription request from the particular user.

18 . The article of claim 13 , wherein transmitting the notification to the particular endpoint device comprises communicating with an on-the-box service executing at the particular endpoint device.
