Publication number: 20190245824Abstract: The disclosed systems and methods include receiving a message by a communication client, where the message includes a trigger event that is to occur for a condition to be checked, and the condition includes a parameter value for evaluating whether the condition has been satisfied. The systems and methods further include monitoring a user terminal subsequent to receiving the message to determine whether the trigger event occurs at the user terminal in addition, the disclosed systems and methods determine whether the condition has been satisfied at the user terminal in response to a determination that the trigger event occurred, and display a selectable option for reconfiguring an attribute of the communication client in response to a determination that the condition has been satisfied.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2019Publication date: August 8, 2019Inventors: Tanel Hiir, Kaido Karner, Priit Kasesalu, Mati Kosemae, Aarne Laur, Mihkel Karu, Sven Suursoho

Patent number: 10298532Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of delivering messages to a user of a user terminal executing a communication client and connected to a packet-based communication network, includes receiving a message at the communication client from the communication network, the message comprising a content portion and a control portion, wherein the content portion comprises information intended for display to the user of the user terminal, and storing the message in a data store at the user terminal. The communication client reads the control portion and extracts data defining a trigger event and a condition. The communication client is monitored to determine whether the communication client state corresponds to the trigger event. Responsive to the communication client state corresponding to the trigger event, the communication client determines whether the condition is met. In the case that the condition is met, the content portion of the message is displayed in the communication client.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2017Date of Patent: May 21, 2019Assignee: SKYPEInventors: Tanel Hiir, Kaido Karner, Priit Kasesalu, Mati Kosemae, Aarne Laur, Mihkel Karu, Sven Suursoho

Patent number: 8705565Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting information from a user to a first network entity over a communications network. The user enters information into a browser executed at a user terminal. The browser generates a first message comprising the information using a first communication protocol for despatch over the network via a network port, the first message including an identifier of the first network entity. A client executed at the user terminal receives the first message before the first message reaches the network port. The first message is wrapped in a second message of a second communication protocol used for transmitting messages between the client and a second network entity. The second message is transmitted to the second network entity over the communications network.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2010Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: SkypeInventors: Andres Kutt, Tanel Hiir
