EXTERNAL MESSAGING FUNCTION FOR AN INTERACTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240223519 titled 'EXTERNAL MESSAGING FUNCTION FOR AN INTERACTION SYSTEM
Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a system where a sender can share content with a recipient who does not have a platform account. An off-platform communication is sent to the recipient's device, prompting them to create an account to access the shared content. Once the recipient creates an account, they can view the content through an interaction application.
- The sender can share content with a recipient who does not have a platform account.
- An off-platform communication is sent to the recipient's device with a registration link.
- The recipient creates a platform account to access the shared content.
- The recipient can view the content through an interaction application.
- A relationship between the sender's and recipient's platform accounts is established within the system.
Potential Applications:
This technology could be used in social media platforms, messaging apps, and content sharing services to facilitate sharing between users who do not have existing accounts.
Problems Solved:
This technology addresses the challenge of sharing content with individuals who do not have platform accounts, enabling seamless communication and content sharing.
Benefits:
- Improved user experience for sharing content - Increased reach for content sharing - Enhanced connectivity between users
Commercial Applications:
The technology could be utilized in social media platforms, messaging apps, and content sharing services to enhance user engagement and expand user base.
Prior Art:
Prior art related to this technology may include research on user interaction systems, content sharing methods, and account creation processes in digital platforms.
Frequently Updated Research:
Researchers may be exploring ways to optimize off-platform communication strategies, enhance user registration processes, and improve user interface design for interaction applications.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the user experience for content sharing? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing this system in different platforms?
Original Abstract Submitted
a sender holds a first platform account with an interaction system. the sender selects a content item to be shared with a recipient. in response to determining that a recipient identifier of the recipient is not linked to a platform account, an off-platform communication is transmitted to a second user device associated with the recipient identifier. the off-platform communication is in an electronic format supported by the second user device and contains a user-selectable registration link. in response to detecting establishment of a second platform account linked to the recipient identifier, the recipient is enabled to access the content item on the second user device via a user interface provided by an interaction application. a relationship between the first platform account and the second platform account is established within the interaction system.
