Abstract: A method for push interaction with a mobile device using a chat interface includes establishing a chat protocol connection between a server and the mobile device, wherein the chat protocol format is used as a part of the push protocol; generating an event on the server; sending a push protocol command relating to the event from the server to the mobile device using the chat protocol connection; in the background, processing the chat protocol request that was packaged within the push protocol command; receiving the response from the mobile device through the chat protocol connection using the pull protocol mode; sending media contents from the server to the client using pull protocol mode; and displaying the media contents on the mobile device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a technology for providing information to users of a chat information system. The chat information system may receive an information request from a user. The information request may be processed to determine its subject area and forwarded to information sources or external communication services, such as social networks, forums, and the like. Answers received from the information sources and external communication services may be validated and selected based on user feedbacks and ratings. The selected answers may be then delivered to the users of the chat information system. After receiving the answers, the user may evaluate them to be further stored for future use by the chat information system.

Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for email communication and instant messaging through a dialog system. The method may commence with enabling a user to create a personal account with a server. The personal account may be associated with the user and with the dialog system. The method may continue with enabling the user to establish a list of trusted email addresses. The method may further include receiving a notification from the server. The notification may be associated with a communication addressed to the user from one of the trusted email addresses. Upon receiving the notification, a first message associated with the notification may be delivered to the user. Upon receiving of an instruction associated with the notification from the user, an inquiry to receive the communication may be sent to the server. The method may further include delivering a second message associated with the communication to the user.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for operating a dialog system in a cross-platform environment. The method comprises receiving, by a server comprising at least one processor and a memory storing processor-executable codes, a first request from a first client device to initiate operation of the dialog system. The first client device is identified based at least on the first request. Based on the identification, a first set of predetermined settings associated with a user and the first client device is applied to the dialog system. The operation of the dialog system according to the first set of predetermined settings is initiated and the dialog system is connected to the first client device.

Abstract: A method and graphical user interface intended to simplify interaction between a user and a chat information system running on a portable electronic device that includes a touch screen. User interfaces and methods include user input controls (i.e., a virtual keyboard or voice recognition devices). The system also includes output trays, means for viewing chat history, means for displaying the Internet content and means for displaying graphical elements and avatars.
