  • Cross device messaging
    Patent number: 11522954
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing cross device messaging and enhanced synchronization of messages. In some configurations, a distributed service platform may store a user profile. The user profile may include device information (i) indicating active devices associated with the user profile and capabilities of the active devices and (ii) one or more potential relay devices for relaying messages to the active devices. The user profile may be provided to a first device among the active devices referenced in the device information. A signal may be received from the first device that includes a message designating one or more recipient devices from the active devices. One or more relay devices may be selected from the one or more potential relay devices in response to receiving the signal, and the signal may be sent to the one or more relay devices.

  • Cross device messaging
    Patent number: 10375163
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing cross device messaging and enhanced synchronization of messages. In some configurations, an endpoint computing device can receive input of a mobile operator message. The endpoint computing device can process the message, and send a signal with the message to a relay computing device for delivery to a recipient computing device. In some configurations, the signal with the message may be sent to the relay device via a reference user profile in a distributed service platform (e.g., the Cloud). The endpoint computing device can send the signal with the message to a single relay computing device, or to multiple relay computing devices, for delivery. In some configurations, the endpoint computing device can send the signal with the message to a first relay device, which can then send the signal with the message to a second relay device for delivery to a recipient device.

  • SKINNING SUPPORT FOR PARTNER CONTENT
    Publication number: 20090132938
    Abstract: The technology described herein is a system and methods for generating a branded background for user interfaces. In one embodiment, the background is generated based on a background template. A content partner may customize the background by providing a hue value, artwork and a logo. The background of the user interface is tinted a color associated with the hue value. The artwork and logo is placed in the background, and in one embodiment, the artwork comprises a watermark version of the artwork. Gallery content may also be layered over the background to create a UI having a theme.

  • Interface infrastructure for creating and interacting with web services
    Publication number: 20060150200
    Abstract: A web services namespace pertains to an infrastructure for enabling creation of a wide variety of applications. The infrastructure provides a foundation for building message-based applications of various scale and complexity. The infrastructure or framework provides APIs for basic messaging, secure messaging, reliable messaging and transacted messaging. In some embodiments, the associated APIs are factored into a hierarchy of namespaces in a manner that balances utility, usability, extensibility and versionability.
