  • Publication number: 20240004729
    Abstract: A real time contextual event notification system that ingests events as streams from any authorized entity applies rules to the event streams, determines a context of an end-user who is a recipient of a targeted notification, and provides notifications to the end-user in accordance with the context. The event streams may come from multiple sources and rules may be applied to provide real time contextual information associated with the end-user.
