ABSTRACT:
A method and system for automatically providing remote notification of a locally detected event includes receiving data and analyzing the content of the data using a data filter of a computer. The data filter is configured to detect an indication of a predetermined event within the data. If the event is detected, the data filter activates a local event indicator associated with the computer. An event indicator monitor determines whether a user response is initiated within a configurable time interval after activation of the event indicator. If the monitor determines that no user response is initiated within the configurable time interval, the monitor transmits an establish-connection message to a control program. The control program responds to the establish-connection message by accessing an event notification message from a database which indicates access numbers of the remote communication devices to which to transmit the event notification message. Communication links are established to the remote communication devices and the event notification message is transmitted to the devices. The data filter is capable of analyzing data included in web page updates transmitted to a web browser of the computer, e-mail messages, scheduling updates and requests transmitted to an electronic calendar of the computer, and scheduling reminders transmitted by the electronic calendar.
