Abstract
Alert routing system and methods are described. Alerts are received and aggregated from disparate internet-of-things devices. Alerts may be prioritized based on any combination of: source device-related factors, such as device purpose; subscriber-related factors, such as age, preferences, and restrictions; and subscriber device-related factors, such as ability to receive information in particular formats. In some instances, alerts are further prioritized based on the location of the system's components. Additionally, in some instances, alerts are queued for batch processing based, for example, on subscriber schedule and preferences.
