Unified platform for the delivery of notifications to smartphones notification
Andrea Mojžišová, Marcel Mojzis · 2012
During the monitoring of information systems, experiments in progress, etc. it is often required that people are alerted about some events in real time, preferably via a mobile phone. Modern smartphones offer advanced means of notification, however these techniques are usually vendor specific. In this paper we design an unified platform for the delivery of short messages and notifications to smartphones. Our solution is based on a RESTful Java Web Service with simple interface and secure access. Although it is primarily targeted for the delivery of iOS Push Notifications, it can be easily extended for other platforms and/or transport methods (Android, SMS messaging, etc.).
