Future messaging maximizing contextual relevancy and minimizing information overload based distractions

摘要

A messaging server with a future message storage space for future messages, each being a sender created message not yet delivered to a recipient that has an associated sender specified message delivery time. Recipient specific delivery block details are specified for a set of delivery blocks for future messages. The future messages are received processed and stored. Until the respective sender specified message delivery time a respective one of the set of senders is able to retract and edit a corresponding one of the future messages. Future messages are delivered at the delivery time consistent with the delivery blocks. After delivery the sender is unable to retract and edit a corresponding delivered message. Future messages do not alert a recipient of arrival until the sender established delivery time, which minimizes cognitive distractions and provides the sender with notice for anticipating a time of response, without overly distracting the recipient.
