INTEGRATING DATA WITH CONVERSATIONS
First Claim
1. A method performed by a computing system for integrating data in a conversation, comprising:
- sending a first message to a responding computing device to begin a conversation;
receiving a second message associated with the conversation from the responding computing device;
determining whether the received message contains an indication of data that is to be associated with the conversation; and
when the received message contains an indication of data that is to be associated with the conversation, rendering the data.

Abstract
A facility for integrating data in conversations is provided. In various embodiments, the facility sends a first message to a responding computing device to begin a conversation, receives a second message associated with the conversation from the responding computing device, determines whether the received message contains an indication of data that is to be associated with the conversation and, when the received message contains an indication of data that is to be associated with the conversation, renders the data. The facility can comprise an application server that receives from an initiator a first message associated with a conversation and responds to received messages, a conversation component that handles messages associated with the conversation, and an integration component that determines whether there is data that is to be associated with the conversation and, if so, adds an indication of the data to a second message that it sends to the initiator.

11. A system for integrating data in a conversation, comprising:
-
an application server that receives from an initiator computing device a first message associated with a conversation and responds to received messages; a conversation component associated with the application server that handles messages associated with the conversation; and an integration component that determines whether there is data that is to be associated with the conversation and, if so, adds an indication of the data to a second message that it sends to the initiator computing device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed, perform a method for integrating data in a conversation, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first message from an initiator computing device to initiate a conversation; creating a second message; determining whether data is to be associated with the conversation; indicating the data in the second message; and sending the second message to the initiator computing device so that the initiator computing device can render data in such a way that the conversation is integrated with the rendered data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
