Patent number: 11310289Abstract: A user device may receive an instruction to generate a shortcut associated with a rich communication services (RCS) messaging session that is associated with a RCS application. The user device may generate, based on receiving the instruction, a snapshot of the RCS messaging session, and may transmit, based on generating the snapshot of the RCS messaging session, the snapshot of the RCS messaging session to an application server. The user device may generate, based on transmitting the snapshot of the RCS messaging session to the application server, the shortcut associated with the RCS messaging session, where the shortcut associated with the RCS messaging session is linked to the snapshot of the RCS messaging session. The user device may display, on a display of the device, the shortcut associated with the RCS messaging session.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: April 19, 2022Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Lodema M.
