Patent number: 10582157Abstract: Systems, methods and computer readable media for live interactions in persistent conversations are described. In some implementations, a method can include receiving a communication message sent from a first user to a second user, wherein the communication message includes initiation of a live interaction. The method can also include generating a live interaction user interface element for display as part of a persistent conversation interface. The method can further include storing a representation of the live interaction in a conversation content section of a persistent conversation object when the live interaction ends. The method can include updating conversation state information of the persistent conversation object to reflect the receiving of the communication message and the storing of the representation.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: March 3, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Kathryn Chapman Cushing, Benjamin David Eidelson, Randall Sarafa, Mayur Kamat, Param Reddappagari, Shrikrishna Vijaykumar Borde, Michael Dodd, Richard Fulcher, Gülay Birand, Ivan Bertona
