Description
- The present invention relates to asynchronous messaging, and more specifically, to tags associated with asynchronous messaging.
- Though the functions of available mobile telephone devices continue to advance, there are significant numbers of users who utilize mobile telephone devices with limited functions or features. For example, millions of mobile telephone device users use simple mobile telephone devices with voice and texting/short message service (SMS), but with limited alternative communications features.
- According to one embodiment of the present invention, a method includes receiving a message from a user device, determining whether the message includes a tag, identifying at least one interaction the user device performed with an application responsive to determining that the message includes the tag, calculating a difference between a time the message was received and a time associated with the at least one identified interaction, determining whether the difference between the time the message was received and the time associated with the at least one identified interaction is within a threshold value, and associating the tag with the application associated with the at least one interaction responsive to determining that the difference between the time the message was received and the time associated with the at least one identified interaction is within the threshold value.
- According to another embodiment of the present invention, a method includes receiving a message from a user device, determining whether the message includes a tag, identifying at least one interaction the user device performed with an application responsive to determining that the message includes the tag, calculating a distance between a location the message was sent from and a location associated with the at least one identified interaction, determining whether the distance between the location the message was sent from and the location associated with the at least one identified interaction is within a threshold value, and associating the tag with the application associated with the at least one interaction responsive to determining that the distance between the location the message was sent from and the location associated with the at least one identified interaction is within the threshold value.
- According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a system includes a user device, and a processor operative to receive a message from a user device, determine whether the message includes a tag, identify at least one interaction the user device performed with an application responsive to determining that the message includes the tag, calculating a difference between a time the message was received and a time associated with the at least one identified interaction, determine whether the difference between the time the message was received and the time associated with the at least one identified interaction is within a threshold value, and associate the tag with the application associated with the at least one interaction responsive to determining that the difference between the time the message was received and the time associated with the at least one identified interaction is within the threshold value.
- According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a system includes a user device, and a processor operative to receive a message from a user device, determine whether the message includes a tag, identify at least one interaction the user device performed with an application responsive to determining that the message includes the tag, calculate a distance between a location the message was sent from and a location associated with the at least one identified interaction, determine whether the distance between the location the message was sent from and the location associated with the at least one identified interaction is within a threshold value, and associate the tag with the application associated with the at least one interaction responsive to determining that the distance between the location the message was sent from and the location associated with the at least one identified interaction is within the threshold value.
- Additional features and advantages are realized through the techniques of the present invention. Other embodiments and aspects of the invention are described in detail herein and are considered a part of the claimed invention. For a better understanding of the invention with the advantages and the features, refer to the description and to the drawings.
- The subject matter which is regarded as the invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the claims at the conclusion of the specification. The forgoing and other features, and advantages of the invention are apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a system. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of an exemplary method for processing tags. -
FIG. 3 illustrates an application usage table. -
FIG. 4 illustrates an application table. -
FIG. 5 illustrates a tag table. -
FIG. 6 illustrates an application phone number table. -
FIG. 7 illustrates a block diagram of another exemplary method for processing tags. - In many mobile telephone service areas, some users may utilize voice features and texting or SMS features, but may not use other data services due to device or network limitations, or the cost of wireless data transmission over the networks. The illustrated embodiments described below allow a user to interact with a server in a session to perform a variety of tasks using text messaging or voice messaging features. The interaction is asynchronous because the session includes messages sent from a user device to a server or from a server to a user device without a constant connection (i.e., the communicative connection between the server and the device is defined by individual discrete messages sent between the server and the device.) Though the illustrated embodiments describe texting or SMS services, one of ordinary skill in the art would understand that any type similar messaging service including e-mail and instant messaging or voice messaging, which may be in some embodiments converted to textual messages or processed with voice recognition methods may be used in a similar manner as described below.
- Tagging is a term used to describe assigning metadata to a data object, session, content or service. Tags often include, for example, a word or phrase that is associated with data to describe the data. Thus, for example, tags such as “apples,” “produce,” or “fruit” may be associated with a session that is associated with a recipe for a salad. In practice, the tags may be used to search for data or identify data having particular tags. Often, tags may be entered and retrieved by users of a tagging system.
- In this regard,
FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of asystem 100. Thesystem 100 includes a server orprocessor 102 that is communicatively connected to a memory ordatabase 104, adisplay device 106, and aninput device 108. Theserver 102 is communicatively connected to a user device 110 that may include, for example, a mobile phone or other type of user device via acommunications network 101 that may include, for example any suitable communications network that is capable of transmitting messages. Thenetwork 101 may also include conversion or gateway devices that are operative to convert messages and data into formats that may be processed by, the user device 110 and theserver 102. Though the illustrated embodiment includes one user device 110, thesystem 100 may include any number of user devices 110. Theserver 102 is operative to receive messages sent from the user device 110 that may be addressed to one or more phone numbers associated with theserver 102. For example, the user device may send a message to theserver 102 by addressing the message to a particular phone number. Theserver 102 receives the message that includes the phone number of the sender; the phone number that the message was sent to; and the content of the message. The message may also include the time the message was sent, the location of the user device when the message was sent, or other information associated with the user device or message content. Though the illustrated embodiment includes the use of SMS messages and associated phone numbers, one of ordinary skill in the art would understand that a similar scheme may be implemented using other types of asynchronous messaging such as, for example, email or other messaging formats. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a block diagram of an exemplary method for processing tags in an asynchronous data session.FIGS. 3-5 illustrate exemplary embodiments of tables that may be used in the illustrated method. The tables 300, 400, and 500 may be stored in thedatabase 104 and maintained by theserver 102. Referring toFIG. 2 , inblock 202 an asynchronous data session is conducted between the user device 110 (ofFIG. 1 ) and theserver 102. The session may include, for example, a series of messages sent between the user device 110 and theserver 102. In the illustrated embodiment, the sessions include the use of a recipe application (A1) and a coupon application (A2). In this regard, in an exemplary session, a user (U1) looks up a recipe for pancakes from the recipe application by sending a message to theserver 102 from the user device 110. The server receives the message and sends a message having a recipe for pancakes to the user. Later, the user interacts with the coupon application to retrieve a coupon for an item the user is purchasing. The coupon application sends a message via theserver 102 to the user device 110 that includes the relevant coupon information. During the sessions described above, the tables inFIGS. 3 and 4 are populated. - Referring to
FIG. 4 , table 400 includes an application table having anapplication ID field 402 that includes unique identifiers of applications and anapplication description field 404 that includes descriptions of the applications associated with the application identifiers. Referring toFIG. 3 , table 300 includes an application usage table having anapplication ID field 302 that includes the unique identifier of an application, auser ID field 304 that includes a unique identifier of the user and/or user device 110, a lastuser interaction field 306 that includes a time stamp of the last interaction the user had with the associated application, and auser location field 308 that may include a location of the user or user device 110 during the associated interaction. Referring back toFIG. 2 , inblock 202 the session the table 300 is populated with the user interactions, for example, the interaction described above with the recipe application is entered into the table 300 inentry 301, while the interaction described above with the coupon application is entered into the table 300 inentry 303. The entries in the table 300 may include a user location that may be, for example, based on a global positioning system (GPS) or other type of location scheme used by the user device 110 to locate a position of the device. Thus, the messages processed by theserver 102 may include location data that identifies a location where the user device 110 sent a message. In the illustrated embodiment, the table 300 includes zip codes, however other location data including, for example, GPS coordinates or other similar location data may also be used. - In
block 204, theserver 102 receives a message from the user device 110. Inblock 206, the server determines whether the message includes a tag. Theserver 102 may make the determination by, for example, determining whether the message includes an indicator such as a word or phrase (e.g. “Tag:”). Alternatively, a phone number may be associated with tagging, such that the user enters tags into a message and sends the message to the phone number associated with tagging. Other alternatives are possible, such as, for example, text analysis of the message to extract words or phrases. Tags may be part of reviews or comments added during or after an activity. Theserver 102 receives the message addressed to the phone number associated with tagging and thus, identifies the data in the message as being tags. If the message includes a tag, a tagging service that may be implemented by theserver 102 determines whether the message meets time and/or location criteria. For example, the time that the tag message was sent from may be determined by header or other information in the message. The location that the tag message was sent from may be determined from software installed on the phone (e.g., a GPS receiver) or from header information or other information in the message. Theserver 102 may use the message destination (phone number) from the SMS header to determine the application ID in the application phone number table 600.FIG. 6 illustrates an application phone number table 600 that includes aphone number field 602 and anapplication ID field 604; and is populated with entries that associate a phone number with an application ID. - The
server 102 uses the user ID to determine whether table 300 (ofFIG. 3 ) includes any application usage entries associated with the user ID. If there are application usage entries associated with the user ID (for example. A1 and A2 are associated with User ID U1 in Table 300), then theserver 102 may calculate for each retrieved application usage entry, a difference between the time the tag message was sent from the user device and the last user interaction time with the application ID retrieved from Table 300 and determine whether the difference is within a time threshold (e.g., 30 minutes). Alternate embodiments may include several methods for setting the time threshold. For example, one method may determine the likely maximum time for users to tag after starting an activity. For example, 90% of users complete shopping and tag within 30 minutes. The location of the user device the tag message was sent from may alternatively, or in conjunction with the time the message was received be used to determine whether the tag message meets the location criteria. For example, theserver 102 may calculate a distance between the location the tag message was sent from, and the location in the table 300 and compare the distance with a threshold distance (e.g., in a same zip code). Alternate embodiments may include a variety of ways of setting the location threshold. For example, determine the likely maximum distance across which applications for an activity might be used may be determined. For example, 90% of users are likely to tag within the same zip code as the store. Thus, the user ID, time, and/or location associated with the tag message and relevant time and/or distance thresholds may be used to identify applications (i.e., application IDs) in the table 300. Inblock 208, the identified application(s) are associated with the tag received in the tag message. In the illustrated example, the user U1 sends a tag message to theserver 102 that includes the tag “Market.” If the tag message is sent from U1 at 1405-1-1-2011 in thelocation 30040, the tag message would meet the criteria (i.e. is within an exemplary thirty minute time threshold, and sent from the same zip code 30040). Inblock 210, the applications A1 and A2 are identified and associated with the tag “Market,” and the associated tag is saved.FIG. 5 illustrates a table 500 that includes anapplication ID field 502 and atag field 504, which is populated in block 210 (ofFIG. 2 ). - If the message does not contain a tag, then the user and application data are tracked in table 300. As above, the time and/or location are determined. Then they are set into the
last user interaction 306 anduser location 308 fields together. Alternatively, if this is the first time a message was sent to this application from this user (the user is subscribing), a new row is added. -
FIG. 7 illustrates a block diagram of an exemplary method for retrieving tags performed by thesystem 100. In this regard, inblock 702, theserver 102 receives a message from a user device 110. The message may be received from any user device 110. In block 704, theserver 102 determines whether the message includes a request for data that includes a tag. For example, the user device (U2) may send a message to theserver 102 that includes a request for data or applications associated with the tag “Market.” If the message does not include a tag, the message may be processed for other relevant session activities inblock 706. If the message does include a request for data that includes a tag, theserver 102 may use the table 500 (ofFIG. 5 ) to identify application ID(s) associated with the tag. In the illustrated embodiment, the application IDs A1 and A2 are associated with the tag “Market.” In cases where user tags do not match stored tags, various text processing techniques may be used to determine a degree of match. For example, “Market” may match the tag “Markets” or “Supermarket”. In block 710, theserver 102 sends a message associated with the applications A1 and A2 to the user device U2 110. In the illustrated embodiment, the message may include the tagged recipe for pancakes and the coupon tagged by the user U1. - The system also allows the user to request the tags associated with a given application (the ‘tag cloud’). It does this by processing a message containing this request (“tags”) to the application (phone number). The
server 102 then redirects this request to the tagging service. Theserver 102 uses table 500 to retrieve the tags associated with the application and return them to the requesting user (phone number). The tags may be ordered alphabetically. Alternatively, tags may be ordered by popularity, recency, and/or proximity. - The technical effects and benefits of the methods and systems described above, allow a user to associate tags with sessions and applications in an asynchronous messaging system. The system also allows a user to retrieve data or initiate sessions using the asynchronous messaging system.
