Abstract
A method is described for post delivery instant message redirection when logged onto an IM system from a first device and subsequently logging onto the IM system from a second device, and the IM system logs off the first device. An instant message is transmitted from a sender to a recipient at a first MAC address of the recipient, such that the instant message has been delivered to the recipient. It is determined if the instant message is received by the recipient. The determination includes receiving notification that the recipient is typing in a chat window or notification that the chat window is closed. The instant message is retransmitted to a second MAC address of the recipient in response to receiving a change in the first MAC address to the second MAC address before notification that the recipient is typing in the chat window or the chat window is closed.
