Patent number: 11757819Abstract: Systems, methods, and related technologies are provided for generating interactive emails and tracking user interactions. In one implementation, an email an be received within an email client. The email can be rendered within the email client, such as by: presenting a first selectable element within the email client, presenting a second selectable element within the email client, and presenting one or more content items within the email client. A selection of the first selectable element can be received within the email client. In response to the selection of the first selectable element, a presentation of the one or more content items can be adjusted within the email client.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Joe Teplow, Scott Motte, Kevin Dutra, Mark Robbins, Yamil Asusta, Devin Torres, Steven Collins, Trever Faden, Derek Jacobi, Selby Kendrick, Johnny Omar Mejias Luciano, Adam Beckerman

Patent number: 11757809Abstract: Techniques for enabling access to external data of a user for facilitating communications via a communication platform are described herein. A user of the communication platform maintains external data with a third-party service provider. The communication platform receives, in association with a user account of the user, an indication of intent to grant the communication platform access to the external data and an authorization code (the “code”). The communication platform later receives, from the first user account, a request to access the external data. For example, the request can include an input corresponding to an intended recipient of a message. In response to the input, the communication platform sends a request, with the code, to the third-party service provider to obtain contact data associated with the intended recipient and causes the contact data to be presented in association with the message, such as in a “To” field of the message.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Salesforce, Inc.Inventors: Michael Demmer, Kevin Marshall, Pranay Agarwal

Patent number: 11722453Abstract: A method includes identifying, at an electronic device a candidate name responsive to user input indicating a salutational trigger during composition of a body of a message of a messaging application. Identifying the candidate name including at least one of: parsing a recipient-specific portion of a recipient message address of the message; parsing a display name associated with the recipient message address; parsing a content of the message body; parsing an attachment name associated with an attachment field of the message; identifying the candidate name from a contact record selected from a contacts database based on a recipient-specific portion of a recipient message address of the message; and parsing user-readable content of an application from which composition of the message was triggered. The method further includes facilitating composition of a recipient name in the body of the message based on the candidate name.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE TECHNOLOGY HOLDINGS LLCInventors: Amit Kumar Agrawal, Mayank Gupta, Rachit Mittal

Patent number: 11716302Abstract: A system that can coordinate user interface formats having customized threads comprising messages from a common thread. Each client device can be managed by a data structure that defines thread containers, where individual thread containers define threads and topics for each thread. Each thread can also be associated with unique groups of messages. The data structure can cause each client computer to display different user interface formats, with each format showing different threads for each user. Users engaged in a chat on a parent thread can split the parent thread into multiple child threads, that can each be associated with unique topics. The system can then associate individual messages of the parent thread with each child thread. The system provides more granular control of user interface formats to allow users to separate messages of high-priority topics.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Amer Aref Hassan, Mahendra D.

Patent number: RE49964Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose formats for MCData messages and notifications, and methods for coding (encoding and decoding) MCData messages and notifications in a MCData communication system. The method includes generating, by a first UE, an encoded MCData message or notification comprising of signaling payload and data payload content related to one or more MCData user payloads. Further the method includes deriving, by a second UE, the actual MCData messages or notifications by decoding the received encoded MCData messages or notifications. The formats for MCData messages and MCData notifications optimize control headers and allow maximum user data size that can be carried in a single message over signalling, which aids in sending multiple user payloads in a single message.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., LtdInventors: Vijay Sangameshwara, Nishant Gupta, Sapan Pramodkumar Shah, Siva Prasad Gundur, Basavaraj Jayawant Pattan, Suresh Chitturi, Bhargav Madishetty
