Chat application link handling and notification display method
The granted patent US12039147B2 outlines a method and system for providing a content box within a chatting application. The method involves displaying link information shared in a chat room and, upon user selection, showing the corresponding content execution result in the application's browser. If a new chat message notification is received while the content is displayed, the system allows users to switch back to the chat room while maintaining access to the content box. This content box can include templates that represent the content or its execution results, enabling users to interact with the content directly from the chat interface.
Additionally, the patent describes various functionalities of the content box, such as sharing templates across different user devices and allowing user inputs to select content or templates. The content box can be presented as a floating menu or integrated into the chat window, and it can be extended to show prioritized or categorized content templates. The system is designed to maintain the content box's visibility even when the user navigates to different screens within the chatting application, enhancing user experience by providing seamless access to shared content while engaging in conversations.
