Abstract

Un dispositif électronique est divulgué. Le dispositif électronique peut être configuré pour obtenir des données comprenant un ou plusieurs contenus poussés à partir d'un serveur de messages. Les données peuvent comprendre des informations de catégorie et des informations de contexte. Le dispositif électronique peut être configuré pour transmettre les données par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau de communication à courte distance de sorte qu'au moins un dispositif électronique cible indiqué par les informations de catégorie parmi une pluralité de dispositifs électroniques externes connectés au dispositif électronique par l'intermédiaire du réseau de communication à courte distance produise en sortie au moins un contenu parmi le ou les contenus à un instant selon un contexte cible avant un instant d'expiration d'un message sur la base des informations de contexte.
