INTERACTING WITH VISUAL CODES WITHIN MESSAGING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18634020 titled 'INTERACTING WITH VISUAL CODES WITHIN MESSAGING SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a system and method for interacting with visual codes within a messaging system. This involves displaying captured image data containing a visual code, allowing user selection of the visual code, displaying an updated graphic, providing an animation of the graphic moving to an interface element with selectable icons, and updating the icons to include new options.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Displaying visual codes with custom graphics in a messaging application
- Allowing users to select visual codes to access different features
- Providing animations of graphics moving to interface elements with selectable icons
- Updating the icons to include new options for accessing features
Potential Applications: This technology could be used in messaging applications, marketing campaigns, interactive advertisements, and user interface design.
Problems Solved: This technology enhances user interaction with visual codes, making it easier to access different features within a messaging application.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience
- Enhanced visual communication
- Increased engagement with messaging applications
Commercial Applications: This technology could be valuable for messaging app developers, marketing agencies, and companies looking to enhance user engagement with their products or services.
Prior Art: Readers interested in prior art related to this technology could explore patents and research on visual code interaction, user interface design, and messaging application features.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers in the fields of human-computer interaction, visual communication, and mobile app development may have relevant studies on the use of visual codes in messaging systems.
Questions about Visual Code Interaction: 1. How does this technology improve user engagement with messaging applications? 2. What are the potential implications of using visual codes in marketing campaigns?
Original Abstract Submitted
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and method for interacting with visual codes within a messaging system. The program and method provide for displaying, by a messaging application, captured image data comprising a visual code, the visual code including a custom graphic and being decodable to access a first feature of the messaging application; receiving user input selecting the visual code; displaying an updated version of the custom graphic; providing an animation which depicts the updated version of the custom graphic as moving from the visual code to an interface element comprising a group of icons, each icon within the group of icons being user-selectable to access a respective second feature of the messaging application; and updating the group of icons to include an additional icon which is user-selectable to access the first feature of the messaging application.
