Systems and methods for webpage creation and updating
View Patent ↗A computer network system for posting content at a web site includes computer servers configured to host a web site for a group of users, and a data storage configured to store an email address in association with a destination at the website. The computer servers can receive an electronic message at the email address by the computer servers from a user. A computer processor can automatically extract content from the electronic message. The computer servers can automatically post the content extracted from the electronic message at the destination at the website.
1. A computer-implemented method for posting content at a web site, comprising:
hosting a web site, by one or more computer servers, for a group of users comprising a first user and a second user, wherein a destination at the website is located at a web address comprising a string of characters;
setting up an email address in association with the destination at the website, wherein the email address includes the string of characters that are also in the web address;
receiving an electronic message at the email address by the one or more computer servers from the first user;
automatically identifying different types of content in the electronic message by a computer processor;
automatically extracting the content from the electronic message according to the types of content by the computer processor; and
automatically posting the content extracted from the electronic message at the destination at the website by the one or more computer servers to allow the group of users including the second user to view the content at the destination at the website.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the web address and the email address share one or more common words.
3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the web address has a format:
http: followed by //characterstring1.characterstring2.characterstring3, and wherein the email address is set up in a format: “characterstring1” followed by “@characterstring2.Characterstring3”, wherein each of “characterstring1”, “characterstring2”, and “characterstring3” represents a string of characters.
4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 , wherein the web address has a format:
http: followed by //characterstring1.characterstring2.characterstring3/characterstring4, and wherein the email address is set up in a format:
“characterstring1.Characterstring4” followed by “@characterstring2.Characterstring3”,
wherein each of “characterstring1”, “characterstring2”, “characterstring3”, and “characterstring4” represents a string of characters.
5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the destination at the website comprises a webpage or a section of a webpage.
6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the types of content comprises text, an image, a table, a file, a voice file, or a video file.
7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the email address is embedded with a command.
8. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
processing the content extracted from the electronic message in accordance to the command.
9. The computer-implemented method of claim 7 , further comprising:
posting the content extracted from the electronic message in accordance to the command.
10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic message is in form of an email, text message, or a multimedia message.
11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the electronic message is received from a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, or a tablet computer.
12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:
extracting a pass key from the electronic message; and
authenticating the electronic message based verification of the pass key.
13. A computer-implemented method for posting content at a web site, comprising:
hosting a web site, by one or more computer servers, for a group of users comprising a first user and a second user, wherein a destination at the website is located at a web address comprising a string of characters;
setting up an email address in association with the destination at the website, wherein the email address includes the string of characters that are also in the web address;
receiving an electronic message at the email address by the one or more computer servers from the first user, wherein the email address is embedded with a command;
automatically extracting the content and the command from the electronic message by the computer processor;
processing the content extracted from the electronic message in accordance to the command; and
after the step of processing, automatically posting the content extracted from the electronic message at the destination at the website by the one or more computer servers to allow the group of users including the second user to view the content at the destination at the website.
14. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the web address and the email address share one or more common words.
15. The computer-implemented method of claim 13 , wherein the electronic message is in form of an email, text message, or a multimedia message.
16. A computer network system for posting content at a web site, comprising:
one or more computer servers configured to host a web site for a group of users comprising a first user and a second user;
a data storage configured to store an email address in association with a destination at the website, wherein the one or more computer servers are configured to receive an electronic message at an email address by the one or more computer servers from the first user, wherein the destination at the website is located at a web address comprising a string of characters, and wherein the email address includes the string of characters that are also in the web address; and
a computer processor configured to automatically identify different types of content in the electronic message and automatically extract content from the electronic message according to the types of content, wherein the one or more computer servers are configured to automatically post the content extracted from the electronic message at the destination at the website to allow the group of users including the second user to view the content at the destination at the website.
17. The computer network system of claim 16 , wherein the web address and the email address share one or more common words.
18. The computer network system of claim 16 , wherein the destination at the website defines a webpage, a section of a webpage, or an image previously posted on a webpage at the website.
19. The computer network system of claim 16 , wherein the types of content comprises text, an image, a table, a file, a voice file, or a video file.
20. The computer network system of claim 16 , wherein the email address is embedded with a command, wherein the content extracted from the electronic message is processed or posted in accordance to the command.
