20140089822 | TASK-CENTERED CONTEXT MANAGEMENT - A method, system, and computer program product for interaction management systems. The method commences upon receiving a first incoming communication pertaining to a first task, and launching a first task-centered context user interface being initially populated with a first screen device selected in response to the type of incoming communication (e.g., a phone call icon, etc.). An agent interacts with the client by responding to the incoming communication. Then, the method receives a second incoming communication pertaining to the same first task; and populates the first task-centered context user interface with a second screen device appropriate for the second incoming communication (e.g., a chat UI, etc.). Additional new incoming events are routed to its corresponding task-centered context (or a new task-centered context is created). Thus, upon receiving a third incoming communication pertaining to a second task (different from the first task), the method launches a second task-centered context user interface. | 03-27-2014 |
20140101261 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING WITHIN A MESSAGING ARCHITECTURE USING A STRUCTURED DATA OBJECT - A method, system, and computer-program product for communicating within a messaging architecture using a structured data object are disclosed. The method includes identifying a structured data object configured to represent structured data, receiving the structured data at a messaging system, generating a message that includes the structured data, and sending the message. The structured data object is configured to be accessed by an application and the messaging system, and includes a request element and a response element. The sending includes transferring the message via the messaging system. | 04-10-2014 |
20140101262 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATING WITHIN A MESSAGING ARCHITECTURE USING DYNAMIC FORM GENERATION - A method, system, and computer-program product for communicating within a messaging architecture using a structured data object are disclosed. The method includes assembling a dynamic form object and submitting dynamic form information, associated with the dynamic form object, into a messaging session. The assembling includes an assembly operation, which, in turn, includes identifying an input field of an interface of an application, transferring input field information to a messaging system, and generating an element of the dynamic form object. The input field information is associated with the input field, and the generating uses the input field information. Further, the submitting includes transferring a message via the messaging system, the message including the dynamic form information. | 04-10-2014 |
20140101263 | MESSAGING ARCHITECTURE CONFIGURED TO USE AN EXECUTION-ENABLED ELEMENT TO INITIATE AN OPERATION IN AN APPLICATION - A method, system, and computer-program product for communicating within a messaging architecture using a structured data object are disclosed. The method includes receiving an execution-enabled object and receiving a selection of the execution-enabled element. Such an execution-enabled object is configured to be included in a message sent by a messaging system. The execution-enabled object includes a response element and an execution-enabled element. The response element and the execution-enabled element are associated with one another. The execution-enabled element is configured to post an event to the messaging system upon the execution-enabled element being activated. The selection of the execution-enabled element activates the execution-enabled element. | 04-10-2014 |
