Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to messaging and, more particularly, to enhanced messaging features.
- Wireless messaging services such as text messaging, allow users to generate and send messages to other users within a wireless communications network.
- a text message is sent to a Short
- SMSC Message Service Center
- This type of delivery system is commonly referred to as a store-and-forward delivery system. SMS delivery is also characterized as a best effort delivery system. As such, there is no guarantee that a message will be delivered to the intended recipient or that the message will be delivered at a certain time. In some instances the message is lost and never sent to the recipient.
- MMS Multimedia Messaging Service
- a method for providing a predictive response messaging feature includes receiving a message from a first device at a second device and analyzing the message to determine at least one response option based upon the content of the message. After determining at least one response option, the at least one response option can be presented on a display of the second device. A called party can make a selection of at least one of the at least one response options and the selection can be received on the second device. The selection can trigger the creation of a response message based upon the selected response option and the response message can be sent to the first device.
- a method for providing a messaging feature with user-defined response options includes receiving an input on a first device.
- the input can include an identification of at least one recipient, a message body, and special characters defining at least one response option in the message body.
- the method can further include creating a message based upon the input and sending the message from the first device to a second device, where the second device receives the message and analyzes the message body to parse out the at least one response option defined by the special character and the text of the message body.
- the at least one response option can be presented on a display of the second device.
- a called party can make a selection of one of the at least one response options and the selection can be received on the second device. The selection can trigger the creation of a response message based upon the selected response option and the response message can be sent to the first device.
- a method for providing a web-based response messaging feature includes receiving an input on a first device.
- the input can include an identification of at least one recipient, a message body, and special characters defining at least one response option in the message body.
- the method can further include creating a first message based upon the input and sending the first message from the first device to an application server, where the application server receives the message and analyzes the message body to parse out the at least one response option defined by the special character and the text of the message body.
- the application server can generate a web page that includes the text of the message body and the at least one response option determined in the analyzing step and create a second message that includes a link to the web page.
- the application server can send the second message to a second device and present the web page on a display of the second device in response to the second device accessing the link.
- a called party can make a selection of one of the at least one response options and the selection can be received at the application server.
- the selection can trigger the creation, at the application server, of a response message based upon the selected response option and the response message can be sent to the first device.
- the methods described above can further include receiving the response message at the first device, creating a response message list comprising the response message, and displaying the response message list in at least one view.
- the view can be a list view, a poll view, or a task list view, for example.
- the input described above can be received from manual entry on the first device or can be received in at least one pre-defined entry field.
- a first device can be configured to create a first message based upon input.
- the input can include an identification of at least one recipient, a message body, and special characters defining at least one response option in the message body.
- the system can further include an application server configured to receive the first message and analyze the first message to parse out the at least one response option and generate a web page based upon the message body and the at least response option.
- the application server can be further configured to create a second message that includes a link to the web page and send the second message to a second device.
- the second device can access the web page and view the first message and any available response options.
- FIG. 3 schematically illustrates a method for providing a predictive response feature for a messaging application, according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

- a response option is selected. It is determined, at block 316, if the selected response option is a custom response option. If the selected response option is a custom response option, the method 300 flows to block 318 and the called party is prompted to enter a custom response and the custom response is received. A response message can then be generated based upon the custom response entered by the user, at block 320. If, however, the selected response option is not a custom response option, flow proceeds directly to block 320 and a response message is generated that includes the selected response option determined by the application 112. In either case, the response message is sent the sender device 106, at block 322 and the method 300 ends.

- the message is created at block 410 and sent to the recipient(s) identified in block 402, at block 412.
- the message is received and the message body is analyzed by the application 112 to parse out the user-defined response(s), at block 416.
- a custom field can be provided as an optional response option wherein a called party can enter any custom response.
- the response options are presented on a display 202 of the receiver device 110.
- a response option is selected. It is determined, at block 422, if the selected response option is a custom response option. If the selected response option is a custom response option, the method 400 flows to block 424 and the called party is prompted to enter a custom response and the custom response is received. A response message can then be generated based upon the custom response entered by the called party, at block 426. If, however, the selected response option is not a custom response option, flow proceeds directly to block 426 and a response message is generated including the selected response option determined by the application 112. In either case, the response message is sent the sender device 106, at block 428.
