Publication number: 20240015118Abstract: A first instance of a first messaging application, with a first messaging format, is running on a virtual machine. A user authentication for a first user account associated with the first instance is received from a user of a second messaging application with a second messaging format. A second user account associated with the second messaging application is linked to the first user account based on the authentication. A first database associated with the first user account is monitored for incoming messages from a second instance of the first messaging application which are then stored in a second database associated with the second user account based on an API to convert them to the second messaging format. The second database is monitored for outgoing messages from the second messaging application which are then stored in the first database based on an API to convert them to the first messaging format.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: January 11, 2024Applicant: Sunbird Messaging Inc.Inventor: Garin TOREN

Publication number: 20230326457Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventor: Garin Toren

Patent number: 11611649Abstract: Provided is a computer implemented method and system for delivering text messages, emails, and messages from a messenger application to a user while the user is engaged in an activity, such as driving, exercising, or working. Typically, the emails and other messages are announced to the user and read aloud without any user input. In Drive Mode, while the user is driving, a clean interface is shown to the user, and the user can hear announcements and messages/emails aloud without looking at the screen of the phone, and use gestures to operate the phone. After a determination is made that a new text message and/or email has arrived, the user is informed aloud of the text message/email/messenger message and in most instances, and if the user takes no further action, the body and/or subject of the text message/email/messenger message is read aloud to the user. All messages can be placed in a single queue, and read to the user in order of receipt.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: MESSAGELOUD INCInventor: Garin Toren
