  • Patent number: 10313283
    Abstract: Methods and systems of optimizing e-mail for mobile devices are described. In some embodiments, an e-mail message is caused to be displayed within an e-mail client on a mobile device. The e-mail message comprises a selectable link corresponding to a website action that can be performed on a website. A user on the mobile device is enabled to cause a performance of an e-mail action corresponding to the website action via the e-mail client without navigating to the website, such as via a new e-mail message generated within the e-mail client. A mobile link configured to cause the performance of the action via the e-mail client can be included in the e-mail message. A CSS pseudo-element can be included in CSS rules for the e-mail message. The CSS pseudo-element can be configured to generate mobile content associated with the mobile link.

  • Patent number: 10306050
    Abstract: Methods and systems of controlling the actions of a mobile browser to accommodate situations where a mobile application corresponding to a selected link is installed, as well as not installed, on a mobile device are described. In some embodiments, a selectable link associated with a mobile application is displayed within a mobile resource on a mobile device. A user selection of the selectable link is received. Content associated with the selectable link is displayed on the mobile device in response to receiving the user selection. If the mobile application is installed on the mobile device, then mobile application content associated with the mobile application is caused to be displayed within the mobile application on the mobile device. If the mobile application is not installed on the mobile device, then mobile browser content associated with the mobile application is caused to be displayed within the mobile browser.

  • Publication number: 20180109481
    Abstract: Methods and systems of dynamically updating content in e-mail messages are described. In some embodiments, an e-mail message is generated. The e-mail message comprises existing content viewable within an e-mail client and is configured to initiate a modification of the existing content within the e-mail message by the e-mail client subsequent to the e-mail message being downloaded by the e-mail client. The modification of the existing content is viewable within the e-mail client. The generated e-mail message is sent to an e-mall account from which a user can view the e-mail message within the e-mail client. In some embodiments, the e-mail message is further configured to cause the e-mail client to obtain new content from a remote server for use in the modification of the existing content within the e-mail message.

  • Patent number: 9787820
    Abstract: Methods and systems of navigating between a mobile application and a mobile browser are described. In some embodiments, it is determined that an action has been performed within a mobile application on a mobile device to launch a mobile browser on the mobile device. An identifier for the mobile application is then registered with an operating system of the mobile device, and a navigation element of the mobile browser is associated with the registered identifier. The mobile application can then be re-launched in response to receiving an indication of a selection of the navigation element within the mobile browser. In some embodiments, the identifier is a uniform resource identifier (URI). In some embodiments, associating the navigation element of the mobile browser with the registered identifier comprises modifying a browser history of the mobile browser. In some embodiments, the navigation element is a selectable back button.
