Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically deleting messages from a recipient's inbox. The disclosed systems and methods provide the ability for automatic actions to be taken on delivered messages based on a passage of time. This enables a sender of messages, email service provider and/or email platform to exert control over sent messages to limit the number and type of operations that may be performed on such messages. For example, operations such as saving, forwarding, printing, copying, or otherwise duplicating the message and/or message data can be prohibited and all together rendered impossible. The disclosed systems and methods enables the purging of messages and associated message data from a recipient's inbox at a certain specified time, after the passage of a pre-determined amount of time, or upon the detection of a specified event.

System and method for self-destructing messages

One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for detecting trigger phrases and transmitting electronic messages to devices are provided. For example, audio received via a microphone of a first device may be monitored. Responsive to detecting a first trigger phrase in a first audio segment identified during the monitoring, a first electronic message comprising instructions to activate a microphone function of a second device may be generated and the first electronic message may be transmitted to the second device. Responsive to detecting a second trigger phrase in a second audio segment identified during the monitoring, a second electronic message comprising instructions to activate a microphone function of a third device may be generated and the second electronic message may be transmitted to the third device.

Electronic message transmission

Information is collected about a user, e.g., the user's interests, from the user's interaction with digital messaging content. Information collected about the user can be used to identify an interest of the user. The identified interest(s) can be used to select content to be presented to the user. By way of a non-limiting example, information collected in response to the user clicking on a link in an electronic mail, email, message can be used to identify one or more content items to be presented to the user. By way of yet another non-limiting example, the identified content item(s) can comprise advertising content, news articles, etc.

System and method of content selection using selection activity in digital messaging

A method for supply chain management using mobile devices with a server on an electronic data network includes receiving identifying information for a product transmitted from a mobile device via the network, the server being periodically updated with product recall data. The server queries a traceability server via the network for master data and event data related to the product using the identifying information. The server processes the recall data, master data, and event data to produce product data which is output to the mobile device.

Supply chain management using mobile devices

A method for providing participant status to facilitate video teleconferencing management is disclosed. The method includes receiving a starting indication that a video teleconference has been initiated, the video teleconference including a plurality of participants; generating a video histogram for each of the plurality of participants, the video histogram corresponding to an image that is captured for each of the plurality of participants; capturing an audio signature for each of the plurality of participants; determining, in real-time, a status for each of the plurality of participants based on the corresponding video histogram and the corresponding audio signature, the status relating to a connectivity status for the video teleconference; generating an indicator for each of the plurality of participants based on the corresponding status; and displaying, via a graphical user interface, the indicator for the plurality of participants, the graphical user interface corresponding to the initiated video teleconference.

Method and system for video teleconferencing management

Disclosed is a system and method for email management that leverages information derived from automatically generated messages in order to identify types of messages and message content. The disclosed systems and methods apply the information learned from decoding previously received messages to other messages in a user's inbox to fully, or at least partially decode the information included within such messages. The disclosed systems and methods analyze messages received in a user's inbox to detect message specific information corresponding to types of content in the message and the location of such content in the messages. The message specific information is then applied to other newly received or identified messages to learn message specific information about those messages. Based on such learning, information can be extracted from such messages in order to increase a user's experience and increase monetization.

System and method for generating new message templates

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods transform user search keywords into equivalent keyword formats commonly used and/or found within messaging platforms, and compile a data set from such information from which a search for content can be based. The present disclosure, therefore, provides systems and methods that augment users' search terms with terms found in users' mailboxes for purposes of searching for, identifying and communicating content that is relevant to those users.

Computerized system and method for augmenting search terms for increased efficiency and effectiveness in identifying content

Disclosed herein is system, method and architecture to process information received in electronic messages, including identifying events in the lives of users from the information contained in one or more such electronic messages.

Automated summary and action generation for identified events

Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between electronic mail services and other services, such as social networking service and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods provide systems and methods for automatic linking of an electronic messaging service and another service, such as a social networking service. The disclosed systems and methods form a connection between an electronic messaging system and another service external to the electronic messaging system and uses the formed link to perform a number of actions on behalf of the user of the electronic messaging system and the other service.

Automated connection of electronic messaging and social networking services method and apparatus

Embodiments of the present invention relate to performing entity recognition on a stream while providing ongoing training or supplementation of an entity dictionary. In one embodiment, a method of and computer program product for stream based named entity recognition is provided. A first portion of a textual input is received. A plurality of patterns is applied to the first portion to determine that a predetermined type is present in the first portion. Approval is requested of the presence of the predetermined type. An indication of approval or disapproval of the predetermined type is received. A dictionary is supplemented according to the indication. A second portion of the textual input is received. The plurality of patterns is applied to the second portion.
