Patent number: 11721336Abstract: Messaging with a virtual assistant by: receiving a first request (e.g., spoken by a user to a virtual assistant device hosting the virtual assistant) to check for messages received by an electronic device and transmitting the first request to a backend server for processing. The backend server requests data associated with the messages from the electronic device and, upon receiving the data, generates a response to the first request based on the received data. The backend server then transmits the response to the virtual assistant and the virtual assistant communicates the response (e.g., using audio produced by the virtual assistant device). The virtual assistant receives a reply from the user to the message. The reply is transmitted to the backend server for processing. The backend server transmits the reply to the electronic device which automatically transmits the reply to a recipient of the reply (e.g., a sender of the message).Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2020Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: messageLOUD Inc.Inventor: Garin Toren
