Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods include receiving a message by a communication client, where the message includes a trigger event that is to occur for a condition to be checked, and the condition includes a parameter value for evaluating whether the condition has been satisfied. The systems and methods further include monitoring a user terminal subsequent to receiving the message to determine whether the trigger event occurs at the user terminal in addition, the disclosed systems and methods determine whether the condition has been satisfied at the user terminal in response to a determination that the trigger event occurred, and display a selectable option for reconfiguring an attribute of the communication client in response to a determination that the condition has been satisfied.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of delivering messages to a user of a user terminal executing a communication client and connected to a packet-based communication network, includes receiving a message at the communication client from the communication network, the message comprising a content portion and a control portion, wherein the content portion comprises information intended for display to the user of the user terminal, and storing the message in a data store at the user terminal. The communication client reads the control portion and extracts data defining a trigger event and a condition. The communication client is monitored to determine whether the communication client state corresponds to the trigger event. Responsive to the communication client state corresponding to the trigger event, the communication client determines whether the condition is met. In the case that the condition is met, the content portion of the message is displayed in the communication client.
