  • Patent number: 10999233
    Abstract: Message content is scaled to support rich messaging. Devices and associated messaging systems can support various levels of content richness or fidelity. Message content scaling is employed to ensure sharing of content in as rich a manner as possible given limitations associated with various messaging systems, among other things. Messages can be scaled down or degraded, for instance where communicating devices do not support high fidelity content being transmitted. Alternatively, messages can be scaled up or enriched in cases, where low fidelity content is transmitted to a device supporting richer content, for example.

  • Publication number: 20200228472
    Abstract: Multi-media content for inclusion into an SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multi-media Message Service), IM (Instant Message) or other message type can be searched, pre-searches, fetched and pre-fetched based upon predictive- and rules-based searching techniques. A system can predict or infer an in-process message, for example, based upon a portion of the inputted text message. Thereafter, in real- or near real-time, content related to the topic of conversation can be retrieved from a local store, remote stores (e.g., servers) or cloud-based sources. The retrieved content can be incorporated into the SMS, MMS, or IM message as appropriate or desired thereby enhancing the messaging experience.

  • Patent number: 10601759
    Abstract: Information management and display is enabled. A method can include displaying, via a user interface of a communication device, a dynamically updatable wallpaper comprising a personalized theme personalized to a user of the communication device. The method can also include updating the dynamically updatable wallpaper to display one or more animated icons. Displaying the animated icons can be based, at least, on detected activity of respective contacts associated with the one or more animated icons. An apparatus can comprise a user interface component configured to display images indicative of contacts. The apparatus can also include a messaging component configured to: integrate different types of text messages for one of the contacts; and provide concurrent display of the text messages and social media information. Levels of detail of a message are displayed based on day of receipt of the message.

  • Publication number: 20200034003
    Abstract: A tumbler-style graphical user interfaces (TSGUI) facilitates high context rapid selection of content objects from at least tumbler components. Selection of content objects can relate to a path for a memory to access a related final information. The TSGUI can be employed in mobile computing devices, including telephonic mobile computing devices. Optionally, a TSGUI of a mobile device can facilitate access to content in relation to messaging applications native to the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 9766784
    Abstract: Dynamic scaling of messaging content is facilitated. Messaging content can include visual content other than the actual textual content of a message body for a messaging environment. In an aspect dynamic scaling of messaging content can allow message content such as pictures, images, emoticons, movies, maps, and the like to be presented to a user in a manner that facilities efficient comprehension of the message content. The tokens can be dynamically scaled as the messaging environment changes to maintain high levels of comprehension.
