Abstract

Disclosed embodiments provide techniques for generating an electronic communication response for a mobile electronic device in an offline state. A communication server detects various offline conditions, such as explicitly powered off, low/dead battery, dead zone location, and/or other reasons. A sending electronic device, attempting to establish communication with a receiving electronic device that is offline receives an automated reply message from the communication server, indicating that the intended receiving electronic device is offline. In embodiments, an estimated online restoration time for the receiving electronic device is derived and included in the automated reply message. Additionally, a reason for the offline condition such as explicitly powered off, low/dead battery, dead zone location, and/or other reason may also be included in the automated reply message.
