UNIFIED MESSAGE SEARCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240248938 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 unified interface for user interaction.

• Computer programs encoded on a storage medium facilitate the generation of search terms from spoken input.
• Multiple cross-platform messages are identified based on the generated search terms.
• A single interface is generated via a presentation device to enable user interaction with the identified messages.
• User-specified search terms and criteria are determined to obtain corresponding cross-platform message data.
• Interface elements describing the cross-platform messages are generated and 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 and interaction - Simplified user interface for managing cross-platform messages - Enhanced user satisfaction with streamlined search capabilities

Commercial Applications: Title: Cross-Platform Message Aggregation and Interaction System This technology can be utilized in: - Communication applications - Customer service platforms - Social media management tools

Questions about Cross-Platform Message Aggregation and Interaction System: 1. How does this technology improve user experience with message retrieval? This technology enhances user experience by simplifying the process of searching for and interacting with messages across different platforms.

2. What are the key features of the unified interface presented to users? The unified interface generated by the system includes interface elements describing the cross-platform messages, allowing users to interact with them seamlessly.

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.
