Facilitating an Extended IM Session in a Secure Way
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method comprising steps of:
- receiving a prompt from a user to activate a message interface in order to begin an on-line session;
activating the message interface such that said message interface is presented to the user and is able to receive input from said user;
receiving user input from the message interface, said user input comprising;
a user selection of at least one target correspondent; and
a first message to be sent to the at least one target correspondent; and

22. A system for extending an on-line session, the system comprising:
-
a memory having program code stored therein; a processor operatively coupled with said memory for carrying out instructions in accordance with said stored program code, wherein said program code, when executed by said processor, causes said processor to; receive a prompt from a user to activate a message interface in order to begin an on-line session; activate the message interface such that said message interface is presented to the user and able to receive input from said user; receive user input from the message interface, said user input comprising; a user selection of at least one target correspondent; and a first message to be sent to the at least one target correspondent; and send the first message to a messaging system for delivery to the target correspondent when the target correspondent is detected to be available. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25)
