  • Systems and methods for optimizing message notification based on geographic location and time
    Patent number: 11770797
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing delivery of messages to mobile device users, the method comprising receiving a message to be sent to a client application executable at a mobile device of a user, along with an associated time constraint and an associated geographic constraint; determining a current time at the mobile device and a current geographic location of the mobile device via a communication network; determining, upon receiving the current geographic location of the mobile device and the current time of the mobile device, whether the current geographic location of the mobile device complies with the associated geographic constraint for the message to be sent to the client application and determining whether the current time of the mobile device complies with the associated time constraint for the message to be sent to the client application; and sending, when the current geographic location of the mobile device is determined to comply with the associated geographic constraint and when the
