Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for group discount pricing for mobile content. The system first provides a group invitational content associated with an item for presentation at a display, the group invitational content indicating a discount price provided for the item if a number of offers are made to purchase the item within a period of time. Next, the system receives an offer to purchase the item at the discount price according to the group invitational content. The system then sends an indication of the offer to a list of purchases associated with the group invitational content, the indication prompting the offer to be added to the list of purchases.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for mobile advertisement based on a context-switching context taxonomy. The system collects usage data associated with a device. Based on the usage data, the system determines a switching context channel and a switching context trend, wherein the switching context channel defines a user's movement through channel classifications, and wherein the switching context trend defines the user's activity over a period of time. Next, the system generates a classification model based on the switching context channel and the switching context trend. The system then books a campaign of invitational content based on the classification model.

Abstract: A programmable device such as a smart phone allows a user an opportunity to make final corrections to textual data in a message after the user has instructed the device to send the message, but before transmittal of the message. The opportunity is temporary, to avoid impeding the flow of communication, and the textual data is transmitted unmodified if the opportunity to modify it is not accepted. Modifications made during the opportunity period may be used to adapt an autocorrect functionality of the programmable device.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for utilizing a virtual assistant to assist a user with a communication session between the user and a third party service. A user can use a communication application to enter a message directed to the virtual assistant and request assistance to communicate with a 3rd party service. In response, the virtual assistant can access a set of communication instructions associated with the 3rd party service. The set of communication instructions can include a set of commands for communicating with the 3rd party service, services provided by the 3rd party service and data needed by the 3rd party service to facilitate communication. The virtual assistant can use the communication instructions to gather data needed by the 3rd party service, communicate with the 3rd party service and present the user with data received from the 3rd party service.
