Abstract

See full text

A data processing system for notifying the user of a terminal attached to a host processor of the occurrence of an asynchronous event affecting the user. The notification system determines whether or not the user is in communication with the host processor and then generates and displays an icon, or other selectable graphic representation of the asynchronous event at the user's terminal. Selection of the graphic representation by the user will display additional details of the asynchronous event to the user at his or her terminal. In one embodiment of the present invention, an indication of the asynchronous event is stored at the host processor if the user is not in communication with the host processor and displayed to the user after communication is initiated.
