International Classification:

H04M 1/725

US Classification:

4554122, 4554121, 4554141, 455410, 455411, 455466

Abstract:

A method for pushing secure notifications includes a push service platform receiving a push notification message request from an entity registered with the push service platform, processing the push notification message request to generate a secure push notification message, and sending the secure push notification message to a target mobile computing device through a native third-party push service associated with the target mobile computing device. The secure push notification message includes a message ID (identifier) that corresponds to message content associated with the push notification message request. The method further includes the push service platform receiving a pull message request from the target mobile computing device, the pull message request requesting the message content associated with the push notification message corresponding to the message ID, and sending the requested message content associated with the push notification message to the mobile computing device.

G06Q 10/10

Abstract:

A method, system and a computer program product are provided for organizing a community based on subject-related contributions by classifying user contributions Ci from a plurality of users in a community according to a plurality of subjects Sj to identify subjects in each user contribution, assembling one or more community quality values for each user that generated the user contribution, computing a subject-based quality rating for each user as a sum of a first contribution score based on community quality values for each user's recent contributions to the identified subject and a second contribution score based on community quality values for the user's past contributions to the identified subject, and ranking the plurality of users based on the subject-based quality ratings.
