`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Notification methods and systems are provided. One such
`method, among others, can be broadly summarized by the
`following steps: enabling a user to define at
`least
`two
`communications methods for receiving notifications relating
`to travel of a mobile thing; enabling a user to define one or
`more criteria when each communications method should be
`
`used as opposed to one or more others; monitoring travel
`data associated with the mobile thing; and providing a
`notification using one or more of the communications
`methods, based upon the criteria. A notification system,
`among others, would have a mechanism for performing each
`of the foregoing steps.
