  • Publication number: 20160191452
    Abstract: An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability by separation of display of media component of message content and header information. An electronic message having an identifier of a recipient and a message content including a media component is received at a server from a sending user device at which a display for associating the media component with the electronic message is provided without displaying the identifier of a recipient with the media component such that a single screen capture of the identifier of a recipient and the media component is prevented. The electronic message including an identifier of a sending user is transmitted to a recipient user device at which a display presenting the media component is provided without displaying the identifier of a sending user such that a single screen capture of both the identifier of a sending user and the media component is prevented.

  • Patent number: 9336550
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and a sales management system (SMS) for generating sales through interactive digital content (IDC) integrate multiple electronic commerce service providers (ECSPs) for facilitating purchase of multiple sale items from within digital media. The SMS preferably inserts an indicator element at a predefined location within the IDC in the digital media that, when activated, invokes a display of multiple sale item indicators. When a sale item indicator is activated, the SMS retrieves sale item information associated with the sale item, and selects an ECSP for completing the purchase of the sale item. The SMS displays a dynamic interactive display element (DIDE) linked to the activated sale item indicator. The DIDE displays sale item information and provides direct purchasing options. The SMS renders a content display interface associated with the selected ECSP based on a selection of one of the purchasing options for initiating purchase of the sale item.

  • Patent number: 9338111
    Abstract: An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. Separate displays are provided at a recipient user device for separately displaying via the user device header information of an electronic message and message content including a media component. The message content and the header information are correlated with a unique identifier. The header information is displayed in a message list via a first display. The message content including a media component is displayed via a second display. The display of the header information via the first display does not include a display of the media component. Methods, systems, and computer readable media with separation of the display of media component and header information in various implementations may provide for reduced traceability of an electronic message.

  • Patent number: 9313157
    Abstract: An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. Separate displays are provided at a recipient user device for separately displaying via the user device header information of an electronic message and message content including a media component. The header information is displayed in a message list via a first display. The message content including a media component is displayed via a second display. The display of the message content occurs via the second display without displaying the header information. Methods, systems, and computer readable media with separation of the display of media component and header information in various implementations may provide for reduced traceability of an electronic message.

  • Patent number: 9313155
    Abstract: An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. Message content and an identifier of a recipient are associated with an electronic message at a sending user device. The message content is associated via a first display and the identifier of a recipient is associated via a second display. The first and second displays are not displayed at the same time. The identifier of the recipient is not displayed at the same time as a media component of the message content via the first display. Methods, systems, and computer readable media with separation of the display of media component and recipient identifier in various implementations may provide for reduced traceability of an electronic message.

  • Patent number: 9313156
    Abstract: An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. Message content and an identifier of a recipient are associated with an electronic message at a sending user device. The message content is associated via a first display and the identifier of a recipient is associated via a second display. The first and second displays are not displayed at the same time. The identifier of the recipient is part of header information for the electronic message and the header information is not displayed at the same time as a media component of the message content via the first display. Transmission of recipient identifier and message content including a media component occurs separately from the sending user device. Methods, systems, and computer readable media with separation of the display of media component and recipient identifier in various implementations may provide for reduced traceability of an electronic message.

  • Patent number: 9282081
    Abstract: An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. An electronic message is separated into a message content and container (header) information. In one aspect, the message content and header information are entered by a user separately using a single display image screen having separate portions for entry of message content and header information. The separate portions do not allow visibility of content in the portions to be displayed at the same time.

  • Patent number: 8935351
    Abstract: An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. Separate displays are provided at a recipient user device for separately displaying via the user device header information of an electronic message and message content including a media component. The display of the header information does not display the media component and the display of the message content does not display a username associated with the header information. The message content including the media component are automatically deleted after being displayed such that after the display of the message content is terminated from view, the message content including the media component is no longer available to a recipient user.

  • Patent number: 8886739
    Abstract: An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. Separate displays are provided at a sending user device for separately entering via the user device message content of an electronic message and a recipient address corresponding to the message content such that the separate displays are not displayed via the user device at the same time. The message content and the recipient address are transmitted from the user device separately and the message content is not accessible by a user of the sending user device via the user device after a media component of the message content is transmitted from the device to a server computer.
