  • Patent number: 11310289
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9398428
    Abstract: A messaging device receives configuration information from a configuration device. The messaging device identifies application configuration information, associated with a first user device, based on the configuration information and sends the application configuration information to the first user device for configuring a messaging application on the first user device. The messaging device receives an incoming message, including message information, from the messaging application on the first user device. The messaging device identifies, based on the message information and the configuration information, a second user device and a message format associated with the second user device. The messaging device sends, in the message format associated with the second user device, an outgoing message, based on the message information and the configuration information, to the second user device.
