Abstract
A method for optimizing delivery of messages to mobile device users includes 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, determining whether the current geographic location of the mobile device complies with the associated geographic constraint and determining whether the current time of the mobile device complies with the associated time constraint, and sending, when the current geographic location of the mobile device complies with the associated geographic constraint and when the current time of the mobile device complies with the associated time constraint, the message for display to the user at the mobile device.
