Abstract: A system for allowing messaging between a first computing device operated by a first user and a second computing device operated by a second user. The system includes a first and a second messaging module, in the form of a combination of hardware and software of smartphone including one or more processors, memory, communications interfaces, and power supply. The first messaging module provides a first message field into which a user is able to enter a plurality of text elements. In response, the processor compiles timing data associated with the text elements and generates a message that is indicative of the text elements and timing data. A communications module allows communication of the message between smartphones. The second messaging module provides a second message field on interface to playback the text elements to a user in accordance with the timing data.

Abstract: A smart phone (101) for providing a user account (102) through which a user (103) is able to operate phone (101). The phone (101) includes onboard memory module (104) for storing at least first data records (105). Phone (101) also includes a user interface (106) for receiving input from the user. A processor (107) is responsive to interface (106) receiving a first predetermined input from user (103) for initiating a first authorised session (108) to account (102), and allowing user (103) to access account (102) and discover records (105). Processor (107) is also responsive to interface (106) receiving a second predetermined input from user (103) during session (108) for controlling interface (106) to seek a third input from user (103) to indicate an identifier for a hidden second authorised session (109). Interface (106) does not reveal to user (103) the pre-existence or otherwise of session (109) or any other like session.

Abstract: A system for allowing users to electronically post respective comments with user devices, where each comment relates to an item of posted content. The system includes an interface for receiving posted comments and requests for selected posted data. The interface directs the selected posted data to devices in response to the respective requests from those devices. The system also includes a database for storing content data for each item of posted content, a count engine responsive to the interface receiving comments from the user devices, and a publishing engine responsive to requests for accessing data to generate the selected posted data. Associated methods for allowing users to electronically post respective comments with user devices are also disclosed.
