Abstract
The disclosed technology covers messaging systems and methods. An example messaging method includes receiving at a message server a plurality of messages for a plurality of computing devices, including a first computing device. A first set of the messages is identified as being directed to the first computing device, for which state information is received. A set of predetermined rules is applied to that state information. A return value is determined, with a computer processor, based on the application of the rules to the current state information. The first set of messages is then transmitted to the first computing device if the return value is a first value. Alternatively, the first set of messages is held for the time being if the return value is a second value.
