Description

A SYSTEM FOR MAKING LOCATION AND/OR TIME-BASED REMINDER OVER INSTANT MESSAGING APPLICATIONS
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a system for making location and/or time-based reminder for users over instant messaging applications.
Background of the Invention
Use of mobile devices and applications and services provided by means of mobile devices shows a continuous increase today. Instant messaging applications and services are one of the most popular applications and services being used by means of mobile devices. With use of instant messaging or instant messaging (IM) applications and services, users can send text, voice, video messages to each other and by establishing messaging groups created by more than two users if they want, they can message each other such that all users -who are group members- can receive and see messages.
Today, it is possible to interact with users automatically over instant messaging applications and information can be provided to users on various issues. However, no location and/or time-based reminder service is included among the said services in the state of the art. And this causes users to use applications other than instant messaging applications for the purpose of reminding as well and also causes these applications to take up space in limited memory of mobile device.
Therefore, there is need for a system which enables to make location and/or time- based reminder for users in instant messaging applications and thus, to eliminate the problem that an extra reminder application takes up space in the memory of mobile devices for location and/or time-based reminder in the state of the art.
The United States patent document no. US2017076580, an application in the state of the art, discloses a system for reminding a task in order to carry out a task. In one embodiment of the invention, location information of a user of a mobile device is received and monitored and it is configured to provide a reminder for the task based on a current location of the user. The personal digital assistant (PDA) device used in the present invention can be a handheld electronic device such as a mobile phone, digital camera, or the like and it is configured to realize data exchange with other devices over a connection established in a wired and/or wireless way.
Summary of the Invention
An objective of the present invention is to realize a system which enables to make location and/or time-based reminder for users and thus eliminates the problem that an extra reminder application takes up space in the memory of mobile devices for location and/or time-based reminder.

The reminder server (6) is configured to compare the location data of the mobile device (2) received from the instant messaging server (5) and the location data included inside the reminder record and to trigger the instant messaging server (5) with the date about the reminder text is there is a difference remaining with a predetermined threshold value between the compared location data or the compared location data match each other. The instant messaging server (5) is configured to send the data about the said reminder text to the instant messaging application (4) being run on the related mobile device (2), over the connection established by establishing connection with the mobile device (2) of the user to whom the reminder text will be sent after it is triggered by the data about the reminder text by the reminder server (6).
The reminder server (6) included in the inventive system (1) is configured to establish connection with the instant messaging server (5) by using any remote communication protocol included in the state of the art and to perform data exchange with the instant messaging server (5) over this connection established. In one embodiment of the invention, the reminder server (6) is configured to establish connection with the instant messaging server (5) over a data network such as Internet and to perform data exchange with the instant messaging server
(5) over this connection established. The reminder server (6) is configured to be managed by the instant messaging server (5) by transactions such as making new data record inside itself, deleting the data recorded inside itself or updating the data recorded inside itself by changing the data recorded inside itself. The reminder server (6) is configured so as to provide opportunity for generating at least one reminder record in itself that comprises the data about the reminder message text and the location and/or time information whereby the reminder will be made that are entered by the user via at least the interface by the instant messaging server (5), and that are associated with a distinctive token about the user. The reminder server (6) is configured to be triggered by the data about the reminder text when the time requested for reminding is due in accordance with the data included in the reminder record created inside itself. The reminder server (6) is also configured to compare the instant location data of the mobile device (2) received from the instant messaging server (5) and the location data included inside the reminder record in accordance with the data included in the reminder record created inside itself and to trigger the instant messaging server (5) with the date about the reminder text is there is a difference remaining with a predetermined threshold value between the compared location data or the compared location data match each other.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the instant messaging server (5) and the reminder server (6) have a structure integrated to each other. Thereby, a more economical solution is achieved by using less component in the inventive system (1).
With the inventive system (1), it is enabled to inform users automatically over the instant messaging application (4) in a location and/or a time which they determine by determining a reminder text and location and/or time over the instant messaging application (4) by means a reminder text which is again determined by themselves. Thereby, users using the instant messaging application (4) do not need to use an extra location and/or time-based reminder application and this enables the said users to use the memories of their mobile devices (2) more efficiently.
Within these basic concepts; it is possible to develop various embodiments of the inventive system (1); the invention cannot be limited to examples disclosed herein and it is essentially according to claims.
