Abstract
A mobile device may create a message rule to establish a causal relationship between a messaging activity and a device activity or vice versa. A message rule user interface displayed on the mobile device may receive from a user a message parameter, describing at least one of a message format and a message content of a hypothetical received mobile message. The message rule user interface also may receive a response action directive describing a device action to be performed by the mobile device in response to receiving an incoming mobile message corresponding to the message parameter. The mobile device may store a message target rule associating the message parameter with the response action directive. The mobile device may receive the incoming mobile message corresponding to the message parameter and execute the device action according to the response action directive.
