  • Integrating transport modes into a communication stream
    Patent number: 8793617
    Abstract: Integrating multiple transport modes into a single communication stream on a computing device such as a mobile computing device. One or more recipients and one or more transport modes available for communication with the one or more recipients are provided to a user. An application program executing on the computing device receives a first message from the user to send to one or more selected recipients. The computing device transmits the received first message to the selected recipients via a first transport mode. Thereafter, the computing device receives a second message from one of the recipients via a second transport mode. The received second message is displayed to the user in the same communication stream by the application program. As an example, the user uses the application program to communicate with the recipients using text messaging, electronic mail message, and other transport modes.
