Patent granted for asynchronous messaging on instant messaging system

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11777878B1) describes a computer-implemented method for asynchronous messaging on an instant messaging system. The method involves receiving an instant message from a sender and determining the current user status of the recipient. If the recipient is unavailable due to sharing their screen with other computing devices, the system identifies that a telephone number is not associated with the recipient by querying their profile. In response to this, the sender is given the option to delay the transmittal of the instant message. If the sender chooses to delay, the instant message is stored in a queue until the recipient's user status changes to available, at which point the message is sent to the recipient.

The patent also describes a system for asynchronous messaging on an instant messaging system. The system includes a storage device and one or more processors. The processors execute program instructions to receive an instant message from a sender and determine the current user status of the recipient. If the recipient is unavailable due to screen sharing, the system identifies that a telephone number is not associated with the recipient by querying their profile. The sender is then given the option to delay the transmittal of the instant message. If the sender chooses to delay, the instant message is stored in a queue until the recipient's user status changes to available, at which point the message is sent to the recipient.

Additionally, the patent describes a computer program product for asynchronous messaging on an instant messaging system. The program instructions, stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, perform the steps of receiving an instant message from a sender, determining the current user status of the recipient, identifying that a telephone number is not associated with the recipient, and giving the sender the option to delay the transmittal of the instant message. If the sender chooses to delay, the instant message is stored in a queue until the recipient's user status changes to available, at which point the message is sent to the recipient.

Overall, this patent presents a method, system, and computer program product for asynchronous messaging on an instant messaging system. It addresses the issue of sending messages to recipients who are currently unavailable due to screen sharing and provides a solution by allowing senders to delay the transmittal of messages until the recipient becomes available. This technology could potentially improve the efficiency and effectiveness of communication on instant messaging platforms.
