Abstract

System, method, and device are disclosed for providing a notification of a new message. According to certain embodiments, a device may receive a message via at least one communication interface; determine an attribute associated with the message based on contents of the message; determine a notification feature based, at least in part, on the attribute; and generate a notification according to the notification feature.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for providing notification features to user devices, the system comprising:
at least one network interface; and
at least one processor in communication with the network interface and configured to:
receive a message via the at least one network interface;
identify a dimension of the received message; and
determine a notification feature based, at least in part, on the dimension of the received message, wherein the notification feature includes a notification duration for the received message and the notification duration correlates with the dimension of the received message.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the received message is a voicemail message, and the dimension includes a time length of the voicemail message.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the received message is a text message, and the dimension includes the number of characters contained in the text message.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the received message is a digital message file, and the dimension includes an amount of disk space occupied by the digital message file.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the received message is a voicemail message, the dimension includes a time length of the voicemail message and the notification duration correlates with the time length of the voicemail message.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
send a notification to a user device based on the notification feature.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the notification feature includes a notification frequency and the user device is configured to periodically generate the notification until the received message is reviewed.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:
determine an importance level based on identified content of the received message; and
adjust the notification feature based on the importance level.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the notification duration is also correlated with the importance level of the received message.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the importance level is determined based on one or more words identified in the received message.

11. A computer-implemented method for generating a notification, the method comprising:
receiving a message via at least one network interface;
identifying a dimension of the received message;
determining a notification feature based, at least in part, on the dimension of the received message, wherein the notification feature includes a notification duration for the received message and the notification duration correlates with the dimension of the received message; and
generating the notification according to the notification feature.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the received message is a voicemail message, and the dimension includes a time length of the voicemail message.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the received message is a text message, and the dimension includes the number of characters contained in the text message.

14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the received message is a digital message file, and the dimension includes an amount of disk space occupied by the digital message file.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the received message is a voicemail message, the dimension includes a time length of the voicemail message and the notification duration is correlated with the time length of the voicemail message.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the notification feature includes a notification frequency and the notification is generated periodically until the received message is reviewed.

17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
determining an importance level based on identified content of the received message; and
adjusting the notification feature based on the importance level.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the notification duration is also correlated with the importance level of the received message.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the importance level is determined based on one or more words identified in the received message.

20. The method of claim 17 , wherein the importance level is determined based on an identity of a sender associated with the received message.
