Abstract
An enhanced alerts server may receive alert-related and user-related information from various sources. The server may then generate various types of alerts, including alerts related to weather, crime, product recalls, etc. The server may then apply various predefined rules for associating different types of alerts with a given end user. In deciding on which alerts are transmitted to which users, the enhanced alerts server may also consider any feedback provided by the users regarding previously delivered alerts. An additional aspect of the implementation relates to an easy-to-understand, color-coded display associated with a device through which users may access received alerts.
