    摘要: This invention discloses a method and apparatus for protecting message sender identity in an instant messaging system. Upon receiving an instant message via the instant messaging system, the system may withhold the identity of the sender while pushing the message to the other users in the communication channel. Identity withholding is controlled by the sender on his or her device. The disassociated message is displayed in a style that is common to users, for example, displaying in the middle, displaying in a common location, or even displaying in random locations on a screen of the message thread. Although someone can take a screenshot of a message, the screenshot does not contain any information that can be used to identify the actual sender of the message. In this case, users may generally rely on the context to appreciate the dynamics and/or flow of the conversation. The invention thus enables information sharing in an instant messaging system without the concern of screenshot.

    摘要: A method, apparatus, and system for decoding and recognizing barcode information by using a general camera such as one in a mobile device is disclosed. The invention uses a set of compact point spread functions (PSF) with a squared-shape distribution to restore blurred barcode image for quick and efficient decoding and recognition. Image pre-processing methods are applied to reduce noise and normalize pixel grayscale. On each normalized image, the invention checks if the image contains barcode lines. If there is a barcode, the invention tries to identify the beginning and ending positions of the barcode. The invention selectively decodes multiple scan lines across the barcode and match against predefined barcode models. The best matched barcodes are saved in the history buffer.

    摘要: This invention discloses an instant messaging system that allows users to selectively engage in ephemeral messaging among each other. The system allows a user to switch between ephemeral-messaging mode and normal-messaging mode during a conversation with others. A message sent under the ephemeral-messaging mode is treated as an ephemeral message and a message sent under the normal-messaging mode is treated as a normal message. When a user sends an ephemeral message to another user, the system dynamically determines an ephemeral period for the message based on the message's length if the message is a text message or based on the message's size if the message is an image or video message. The ephemeral message is then sent to the other user's device for display. But the message is only displayed for a time period not exceeding the ephemeral period. Furthermore, a smart URI mechanism is implemented to provide easy-to-access entry points to the system. Upon a user's registration with the system, the system assigns a particular URI to the user, which the user can use to invite others to join him/her for a chat via the system.

    摘要: An electronic communication system for sending, receiving, storing, organizing, displaying, and sharing electronic messages and content (e.g., text, image, audio, and video) is described. The electronic communication system provides a platform where users can communicate and share information with each other. For example, a user can create a conversation thread and invite other users to join the thread. They can send messages and other content via the thread and protect them by assigning different confidentiality levels and expiration restrictions. Furthermore, the electronic communication system provides a “two-dimensional” messaging mechanism, through which a user can select a particular message communicated with another user in a first Thread to follow up on that particular message with the same other user in a new Thread.

    摘要: This invention discloses a method and apparatus for providing reliable read receipts for messages communicated in an instant messaging system. Upon receiving an instant message via the instant messaging system, an embodiment of the invention displays a notification message or redacted version of the instant message (instead of the instant message) on a user device, such as a personal computer or a smartphone. The notification message or redacted message contains visual cues that invite a user to click, tap, or swipe on it to view the full content of the instant message. Upon receiving the responsive user action, the invention replaces the notification message or redacted message with the full instant message. And immediately after that, the invention sends a confirmation signal to the instant messaging system to indicate that a user has read the message. Meanwhile, the invention determines whether the instant message is an ephemeral message or not. If it is an ephemeral message, the invention receives a calculated ephemeral period from the instant messaging system and remove the instant message from the display after the ephemeral period has passed since receiving the user action.
