Media messaging methods, systems, and devices
A wireless communications system that allows a mobile phone, tablet or personal computer user the ability to initiate the sending of a text message or email whereby the sender is able to include photographs, graphs, pie charts and the like within the flow of the actual word by word texting or email writing process, without depending on the traditional necessary step to “attach” the photograph.
1. A communications system comprising:
a first user device presenting a first user interface;
a second user device presenting a second user interface;
a messaging cloud including:
at least one database of rich media data, and a semantic model, the semantic model configured to:
categorize a personalized image library based on contact data and emotional state data;
receive a contact data input from the first user device;
receive an emotional state data input from the first user device; and
automatically select an image for insertion into a message from a plurality of images in the personalized image library based on the received contact data and received emotional state data, and
wherein the database is a Media Messaging Platform,
a messaging service configured to:
receive a message, the message including a rich media data request from the first user device,
retrieve the requested rich media data from the at least one database of rich media data, insert the retrieved rich media data into the message while maintaining text flow, and
present the message to the second user device via the second user interface; and
a network operably coupling the first user device, the second user device, and the messaging cloud,
wherein the message is originally formatted on the first user device via the first user interface such that the rich media data request is within the message.
2. The communications system of claim 1 , wherein the messaging cloud further comprises a parser configured to analyze the message for a shortcut key, the shortcut key representative of a request for rich media data.
3. The communications system of claim 1 , wherein the rich media data request is included within the message by at least one of tapping, clicking, dragging, or typing of a shortcut key on the first user interface.
4. The communications system of claim 1 , wherein the message is at least one of an email message, text message, Internet-based instant message, or other network-transmitted message.
5. The communications system of claim 4 , wherein the first user device and the second user device are respectively at least one of a mobile phone, a pager, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet, a laptop computer, or a desktop computer.
6. The communications system of claim 1 , further comprising a messaging notification subsystem configured to evaluate a status of second user device and present the message to the second user device when the second user device is online.
7. The communications system of claim 6 , wherein the messaging notification subsystem is further configured to push the message to the second user device when the second user device is offline.
8. The communications system of claim 1 , further comprising an image library organizer configured to:
upload the rich media data to the at least one database of rich media data; and
assign shortcut keys to rich media data.
9. The communications system of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of images has a relation to a shortcut key.
10. A method of streamlined media insertion on an electronic device, the method comprising:
initiating, by the electronic device, a messaging session with a receiving user device;
receiving a message on the electronic device, the message including at least one media insertion request;
evaluating the at least one media insertion request at a messaging cloud, the messaging cloud including a Media Messaging Platform;
retrieving media from at least one Media Messaging Platform database of media based on the evaluated at least one media insertion request, said database of media including a personalized image library and a semantic model, the semantic model configured to:
categorize the personalized image library based on contact data and emotional state data;
receive a contact data input from the electronic device;
receive an emotional state data input from the electronic device; and
automatically select an image for insertion into the message from the plurality of images in the personalized image library based on the received contact data and received emotional state data, and
inserting the retrieved media into the message while maintaining text flow;
presenting the message to the receiving user device via a receiving user interface, wherein a network operably couples the electronic device, the receiving user device, and the messaging cloud, and the message session formatted on the electronic device such that the rich media data request is within the message.
11. The method of streamlined media insertion of claim 10 , wherein receiving the message on the electronic device comprises receiving a string of text, the string of text including a shortcut key as the at least one media insertion request.
12. The method of streamlined media insertion of claim 10 , wherein the at least one media insertion request is included within the message by at least one of tapping, clicking, dragging, or typing of a shortcut key on the electronic device.
13. The method of streamlined media insertion of claim 10 , wherein the message is at least one of an email message, text message, Internet-based instant message, or other network-transmitted message.
