Seamless Push service with flow control for embedded devices

Push Notification Service is an essential service in smart phone platforms to give real time updates to users from Content providers. W3C Push API has defined a seamless way to enable real time updates to web applications using the web Push API. Content providers have to closely monitor which platform they are using and which Push provider they are using. An architecture that is agnostic to platforms and Push providers can open many features and services to users. In this paper, we present a platform independent architecture and methods to achieve Push message flow control suitable for embedded devices. Our architecture also gives a seamless flow continuity of Push messages for users. We present results of an experiment to measure the effectiveness of the system to perform flow control of the Push messages to ensure click rate of messages are increased.
