This disclosure relates to streaming real-time messages over time to client applications according to query subscriptions that match content from a large stream of messages exchanged on a messaging platform in a manner that increases the speed of message delivery, effectively controls the management of computer resources to handle the fluctuation of the number of active query subscriptions, and/or increases the security of matching the query subscriptions against messages generated from the perspective of the authors while delivering those messages in real-time from the perspective of the users that initiated the query subscriptions.

An apparatus and method for a power-efficient framework to maintain data synchronization of a mobile personal computer (MPC) are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the detection of a data synchronization wakeup event while the MPC is operating according to a sleep state. Subsequent to wakeup event, at least one system resource is disabled to provide a minimum number of system resources required to re-establish a network connection. In one embodiment, user data from a network server is synchronized on the MPC without user intervention; the mobile platform system resumes operation according to the sleep state. In one embodiment, a wakeup alarm is programmed according to a user history profile regarding received e-mails. In a further embodiment, data synchronizing involves disabling a display, and throttling the system processor to operate at a reduced frequency. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system and method for performing operations comprising providing to a client device, a messaging application comprising multiple features; accessing a configuration rule that associates a device property rule with a feature; determining at a first point in time, that a property of the client device matches the device property rule associated with the configuration rule; in response to determining that the property of the client device matches the device property rule associated with the configuration rule, enabling the feature on the client device at the first point in time; receiving an updated property of the client device at a second point in time; and in response to determining that the updated property of the client device fails to match the device property rule associated with the configuration rule at the second point in time, disabling the feature on the client device.

A method to automatically classify emails may include generating multiple entity data objects using entities identified in receiver and sender fields of emails and categorizing the multiple entity data objects into a first set of data objects and a second set of data objects. The method may also include extracting all tokens from each email and searching the extracted tokens for tokens associated with the data objects of the first set of data objects. The method may further include identifying the emails that include the extracted tokens that are associated with the data objects of the first set of data objects, identifying a particular data object of the first set of data objects to which an identified email corresponds, and automatically classifying the identified email in the first category in response to identifying the particular data object of the first set of data objects to which an identified email corresponds.

A voice-chat-mode self-adapting method includes: receiving a voice chat request sent by a source client on a chat interface for a voice chat with a corresponding destination client, the voice chat request including information about the corresponding destination client on the chat interface; determining whether the destination client of the voice chat request is online; when the destination client is not online, entering a voice message mode such that the source client records a voice message and sends the voice message to the destination client; when the destination client is online, entering a real-time chat mode such that the source client and the destination client perform real-time voice chat; checking in real-time an online/offline state of each client in the voice chat; and performing automatic switching between the voice message mode and the real-time chat mode according to the online/offline state of each client in the voice chat.

The invention includes systems, methods, and software applications for centrally maintaining information and automatically distributing relevant portions of the information to remote users. In one embodiment, a central server stores the information, which is maintained on the central server. Periodically, or each time the server information is updated, the server identifies the portion of the information that is relevant to each user and downloads the relevant portion of information to each user, for example to a mobile device such as a Blackberry™. The invention may be used to maintain and timely distribute information related to emergency response procedures, sales or servicing schedules, and delivery schedules, among other things.

A technique for user notification involves receiving an event notification related to an event associated with user notification by a user; providing the event notification from a stored array to a process executed by a processor; using the event notification as a first title used for the process; providing a second title from the stored array to the process; and using the second title to identify the process to the user.
