UNIFIED MESSAGE SEARCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18623864 titled 'UNIFIED MESSAGE SEARCH

The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods, systems, and devices for generating search queries based on a user's spoken utterances, identifying cross-platform messages, and presenting them in a single interface for user interaction.

• User's spoken utterances are used to generate search terms and criteria.
• Cross-platform message data corresponding to the search query is obtained.
• Interface elements describing the cross-platform messages are generated.
• Messages are presented within a unified graphical or voice-user interface.

Potential Applications: - Voice-activated search and message retrieval systems - Cross-platform message aggregation and presentation tools - User-friendly interfaces for interacting with multiple messages

Problems Solved: - Streamlining the process of searching for and accessing messages across different platforms - Enhancing user experience by providing a unified interface for message interaction

Benefits: - Improved efficiency in message retrieval - Simplified user interaction with multiple messages - Enhanced user satisfaction with cross-platform communication

Commercial Applications: Title: Multi-Platform Message Aggregation and Presentation System This technology can be used in customer service applications, social media management tools, and personal communication platforms to streamline message retrieval and interaction processes.

Prior Art: Researchers can explore existing voice search technologies, cross-platform messaging apps, and user interface design principles related to message aggregation and presentation.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about advancements in natural language processing, voice recognition technology, and user interface design for messaging applications.

Questions about Multi-Platform Message Aggregation and Presentation System: 1. How does this technology improve user experience with cross-platform messages? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing a unified interface for message interaction?

Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosed embodiments include computerized methods, systems, and devices, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating terms of a search query based on a user's spoken utterances, identifying multiple cross-platform messages based on the generated terms, and to generating, via a presentation device, a single interface that enables the user to interact with identified messages. Based on a spoken utterance, the disclosed embodiments may determine user-specified search terms and/or criteria, and based on the user-specified search terms and/or criteria, may obtain cross-platform message data that corresponds to the search query. The communications device may generate one or more interface elements that describe corresponding ones of the cross-platform messages, which may be presented within a unified graphical user interface or voice-user interface by a communications device.
