Abstract
Systems, methods, and machine-readable media are disclosed to provide content of various media types to various types of platforms or devices. In one embodiment, providing content of a first media type to a recipient end device not normally associated with the first media type can comprise receiving from an initiating end device a request for a communication with the recipient end device. The communication can include an indication of the content of the first media type. A service to convert the content of the first media type to content of a second media type compatible with the recipient end device can be determined. The indication of the content of the first media type can be submitted to the service which returns an indication of the content of the second media. A communication with the recipient end device can be initiated to deliver the content of the second media type.

11. A system for cross-platform communications of a variety of media types, the system comprising:
-
a communications bus;
a user profile database communicatively coupled with the communications bus and adapted to maintain profile information for a plurality of end devices;
a first end device communicatively coupled with the communications bus and adapted to send and receive common language messages via the communications bus, to translate common language messages received from the communications bus to a format specific to the end device based on the type, and to store user profile information in the user profile database;
a second end device communicatively coupled with the communications bus and adapted to send and receive common language messages via the communications bus, to translate common language messages received from the communications bus to a format specific to the end device based on the type, and to store user profile information in the user profile database; and
a manager communicatively coupled with the communications bus, wherein the manager is adapted to receive from the first end device a common language message indicating a request for a communication with the second end device, wherein the common language message includes an indication of content of a first media type, to determine a service from a plurality of services communicatively coupled with the manager to convert the content of the first media type to content of a second media type, wherein the second media type is compatible with the second end device, to submit the indication of the content of the first media type to the service, to receive an indication of the content of the second media type from the service, and to initiate a communication with the second end device to deliver the content of the second media type. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
