  • Patent number: 11929964
    Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel framework that provides mechanisms for enabling message senders to dictate, control and/or create dynamic immersive content consumption experiences for recipients of their messages. The disclosed framework provides message senders with previously non-existent functionality to control the experience and environment within which their messages are consumed. Conventional systems provide recipients with capabilities to consume messages and/or supplemental content; however, these capabilities are driven and controlled by the hosting messaging platform and/or the third party entity that is availed opportunities to provide supplemental content. The disclosed framework prevents such experiences by providing capabilities to the message sender that involves control not only over the experience of the sender's messages but also control over the experience of the environment in which the messages are consumed by their recipients.

  • Publication number: 20240070667
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating a user-specific transaction interface are provided. In an example, a datastore of a user may be searched for an indication of a potential transaction. The datastore may include an email mailbox and/or a record of web browsing. In response to identifying the potential transaction, the datastore of the user, a partnership datastore and/or a network may be searched for an opportunity associated with the potential transaction. In response to identifying the opportunity associated with the potential transaction, a user-specific transaction interface may be generated. The user-specific transaction interface may include one or more selectable inputs for engaging in a version of the potential transaction. The user-specific transaction interface may be provided for display on a device of the user.

  • Publication number: 20240056406
    Abstract: In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to a method including receiving, at a processor, a message from a sender to a user, the message including a content item; predicting, by a processor, a next action of the user based on the message by inputting the content item into a predictive model trained using historical actions performed by the user; generating, by the processor, an augmented content item, the augmented content item generated based on the next action; embedding, by the processor, the augmented content item and the content item into a user interface (UI); and transmitting, by the processor, the UI to a client device of the user.

  • Publication number: 20240039882
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating a user-specific interface are provided. In an example, a user-specific machine learning model, for a user of an email application, may be trained based upon one or more interactions of the user with a device upon which the email application is installed. A determination may be made that an email message has been received by an email account of the user. A user-specific message interface may be generated based upon (i) the trained user-specific machine learning model and (ii) content of the email message. A notification of the email message may be provided for display on the device of the user. In response to the user selecting the notification of the email message, the user-specific interface may be provided for display on the device of the user.

  • Publication number: 20240007311
    Abstract: The present teaching relates to method, system, medium, and implementations for communication. A communication chain with multiple chain units is used to represent a communication thread involving multiple users. Each chain unit includes first information related to a piece of communication in the communication thread and second information for authenticating a request to access the piece of communication. When a request is received with third information from one of the users to access a specific piece of communication in the communication thread in a corresponding chain unit, the user is authenticated based on the third information and the second information in the chain unit for the specific piece of communication. The requested access is facilitated when the user is authenticated.

  • Patent number: 11863504
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for facilitating communications with service providers using disposable email addresses (DEAs) are provided. A first email, associated with a requested service, may be received from an email account. A set of service providers may be determined based upon the requested service. A DEA corresponding to the email account may be generated. A second email, comprising an indication of the DEA, may be generated based upon the first email. The second email may be transmitted to a set of email accounts associated with the set of service providers. Emails received from the set of email accounts that are addressed to the DEA may be transmitted to the email account. Responsive to receiving a request to deactivate the DEA from a device associated with the email account and/or responsive to determining that the requested service is completed, the DEA may be deactivated.

  • Patent number: 11855949
    Abstract: In an example, a companion user account is generated without a user specifying a username of the companion user account, wherein the companion user account is different than a primary user account of the user. A first interface, that provides access to resources associated with the primary user account, is displayed via a client application. A second interface, that provides access to resources associated with the companion user account, is displayed via the client application. A content targeting profile associated with the companion user account is generated based upon activity associated with the companion user account and/or one or more interests selected by the user. A subset of content items is selected, from among a plurality of content items and based upon the content targeting profile, for presentation via the second interface associated with the companion user account. A content item of the subset of content items is displayed via the second interface.
