Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for message generation receive one or more keywords that are indicative of a message subject matter. Based on the keywords, information related to the keywords is searched, and message preferences of a message recipient are determined. A natural language message is created using the information related to the keywords and the message preferences, and the message is sent to the message recipient.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving one or more keywords input by a user, wherein the keywords are indicative of a message subject matter;

searching, based on the keywords, information related to the keywords;

determining message preferences of a message recipient;

creating a natural language message using the information related to the keywords and the message preferences; and

sending the message to the message recipient.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the searching further comprises deriving supplementary information descriptive of aspects of the subject matter, wherein forming the natural language message comprises incorporating the supplementary information.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the supplementary information comprises at least one of location data, contact data, and calendar data.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the supplementary information comprises at least one of images, videos, and advertisements.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the supplementary data comprises context data describing a present context of a user device.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising searching, based on the keywords, information available via at least one of a user device and a network.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein determining message preferences of the message recipient comprises determining a language of the recipient.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein creating the natural language message using the information related to the keywords and the message preferences comprises creating a message in the language of the recipient that is different from a language associated with the keywords.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein determining message preferences of the message recipient comprises determining at least one of a message type and capabilities of a receiving device of the message recipient.

10. An apparatus comprising:

a processor programmed with instructions that cause the apparatus to,

receive one or more keywords input by a user, wherein the keywords are indicative of a subject matter of the message;

search, based on the keywords, information related to the keywords;

determine message preferences of a recipient of the message;

create a natural language message using the information related to the keywords and the message preferences; and

send the message to the recipient.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the searching further comprises deriving supplementary information descriptive of aspects of the subject matter, wherein forming the natural language message comprises incorporating the supplementary information.

12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the supplementary information comprises at least one of location data, contact data, and calendar data.

13. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the supplementary information comprises at least one of images, videos, and advertisements.

14. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the supplementary data comprises context data describing a present context of the apparatus.

15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the instructions further cause the apparatus to search, based on the keywords, information available via at least one of the apparatus and a network.

16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein determining message preferences of the message recipient comprises determining a language of the recipient.

17. The apparatus of claim 16, wherein creating the natural language message using the information related to the keywords and the message preferences comprises creating a message in the language of the recipient that is different from a language associated with the keywords.

18. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein determining message preferences of the message recipient comprises determining at least one of a message type and capabilities of a receiving device of the message recipient.

19. A computer-readable storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by an apparatus, perform:

receiving one or more keywords input by a user, wherein the keywords are indicative of a message subject matter;

searching, based on the keywords, information related to the keywords;

determining message preferences of a message recipient;

creating a natural language message using the information related to the keywords and the message preferences; and

sending the message to the message recipient.

20. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein the searching further comprises deriving supplementary information descriptive of aspects of the subject matter, wherein forming the natural language message comprises incorporating the supplementary information.

21. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 20, wherein the supplementary information comprises at least one of location data, contact data, calendar data, images, videos, advertisements, and context data describing a present context of the apparatus.

22. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, further comprising searching, based on the keywords, information available via at least one of the apparatus and a network.

23. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 19, wherein determining message preferences of the message recipient comprises determining a language of the recipient.

24. The computer-readable storage medium of claim 23, wherein creating the natural language message using the information related to the keywords and the message preferences comprises creating a message in the language of the recipient that is different from a language associated with the keywords.

25. An apparatus comprising:

means for receiving one or more keywords input by a user, wherein the keywords are indicative of a message subject matter;

means for searching, based on the keywords, information related to the keywords;

means for determining message preferences of a message recipient;

means for creating a natural language message using the information related to the keywords and the message preferences; and

means for sending the message to the message recipient.
