CHAT INTERFACE WITH DYNAMICALLY POPULATED MENU ELEMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18749423 titled 'CHAT INTERFACE WITH DYNAMICALLY POPULATED MENU ELEMENT

The disclosed system provides a chat interface with a dynamically populated menu element. In simpler terms, this system allows users to access a menu within a chat interface that dynamically changes based on their selections.

  • The system presents a set of identifiers on a client device.
  • Users can select an identifier from the set, triggering the display of a chat interface with a menu element.
  • The menu element contains tabs corresponding to different application categories.
  • Users can select a tab, which then curates a set of applications based on that category.
  • The system displays the curated applications within the chat interface.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in messaging platforms to provide users with quick access to relevant applications. - It can enhance user experience by streamlining the process of accessing different applications within a chat interface.

Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of navigating between different applications within a chat interface. - Provides users with a more efficient way to access and interact with various applications.

Benefits: - Improved user experience by reducing the time and effort required to switch between applications. - Enhanced productivity as users can quickly access the applications they need within the chat interface.

Commercial Applications: - This technology can be valuable for messaging platforms, social media apps, and customer service platforms looking to enhance user engagement and streamline access to applications.

Prior Art: - Researchers and developers can explore prior art related to chat interfaces, menu systems, and application integration within messaging platforms to understand the existing landscape of similar technologies.

Frequently Updated Research: - Stay informed about advancements in chat interface design, user experience optimization, and application integration within messaging platforms to ensure the technology remains competitive and up-to-date.

Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosed system provides a chat interface with a dynamically populated menu element. According to certain example embodiments, a dynamic menu system may perform operations that include: presenting a set of identifiers at a client device; receiving an input that selects an identifier from among the set of identifiers; causing display of a chat interface in response to the input that selects the identifier, the chat interface including a menu element at a position within the chat interface, the menu element comprising a display of a set of tabs that correspond with application categories; receiving a selection of a tab from among the set of tabs, the tab corresponding with an application category; curating a set of applications based on the application category of the tab; and causing display of a presentation of the set of applications within the chat interface.
