Abstract: Method of causing a selectable item including customized graphic for electronic messaging application starts with a processor generating customized graphics based on user identifiers for a first, a second, and a third client device. Processor causes a communication list interface that includes a group selectable item to be displayed on the first client device. The group selectable item includes the second customized graphic and the third customized graphic. Processor receives a request for a group communication session from the first client device. The request for the group communication session is generated by the first client device when the user of the first client device selects a first portion of the group selectable item displayed on the first client device. Processor causes a communication interface for the group communication session between a group of client devices to be displayed at the first client device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure improve the functionality of electronic messaging software and systems by generating and selecting customized media content items (such as images) with avatars of different users within electronic messages based on the context of communications between the users. For example, users of different mobile computing devices can exchange electronic communications with each other, and the system can analyze these communications to present options for media content items containing the users' avatars based on content in the communications, actions or events taken by or involving the users, or combinations thereof. The users may select such media content items for inclusion in their electronic communications.

Abstract: A support structure for an operational telecommunications network deploys a set of individual technologies and provides a set of services to customers. The support structure is divided into a set of domains each of which provides a particular management function for the network. These domains include a domain for managing customer handling functions, a domain for managing the network, a domain for managing the individual technologies deployed in the network, a domain for managing instances of the individual services provided by the network, a domain for managing billing operations, a domain for managing the services provided by the network when grouped together to form a portfolio, and a domain for managing jobs performed by the human workforce for the network. Each domain has its own set of databases and systems for performing the required management operations and also interfaces to some of the other domains. Each domain is implemented by one or more tightly integrated computers.
