Abstract

The invention provides systems and methods that process text message content from a user device. The user device is assigned a routing character string. The system is in the form of a tangibly embodied computer. The system inputs an electronic text message from the user device, the electronic text message including text message content and the routing character string. The text message content may be constituted by data generated as a result of, and representative of, characters keyed in to the user device by the user. The text message content including a trig, and the trig including a trick, a command and a bin label. The system includes a processor portion that maintains a bin collection for the user, and performs processing on the text message content relating to a bin in the bin collection.

the processor portion identifying the command as an add command;

the text message content including the trig and non-trig content, the non-trig content constituted by content desired by the user to be output back to the user; and

the performing the command on the identified bin is constituted by the processor portion adding the text message content into the identified bin.

4. The system of claim 3, the processor portion appending time and date data to the text message content in conjunction with adding the text message content into the identified bin.

5. The system of claim 1, the text message constituting a send message that results in bin content being sent to the user;

the processor portion identifying the command as a send command; and

the effecting the command on the identified bin is constituted by the processor portion pulling bin content from the identified bin and the processor portion outputting the bin content to the user.

6. The system of claim 5, the outputting the bin content to the user is constituted by the processor portion sending the bin content to the user device in the form of a text message, such text message constituting a report message from the system to the user device.

7. The system of claim 5, the outputting the bin content to the user is constituted by the processor portion presenting the bin content to the user via a web page.

8. The system of claim 7, the processor portion removing a plurality of trigs from the bin content prior to the system presenting the bin content to the user via a web page.

9. The system of claim 1, the text message constituting a delete message that results in bin content in the identified bin being deleted by the processor portion;

the processor portion identifying the command as a delete command; and

the effecting the command on the identified bin is constituted by the processor portion deleting content from the identified bin.

10. The system of claim 1, the identified bin being maintained by the processor portion as one of the plurality of bins in the bin collection of the user, the bin collection being associated, by the processor portion, with a user account for the user.

11. The system of claim 1, the trig comprised of the command, the trick, and the bin label, the command disposed before the trick, and the bin label disposed after the trick.

12. The system of claim 1, the trig comprised of the command, the trick, and the bin label, the command disposed after the trick, and the bin label disposed before the trick.

13. The system of claim 1, the trig consisting of the command, the trick, and the bin label, the command disposed before the trick, and the bin label disposed after the trick.

14. The system of claim 1, the identifying a bin label in the trig that identifies an identified bin to perform the command upon, as performed by the processor portion, including the processor portion:

comparing the bin label with a plurality of bins in a bin collection of the user; and

identifying a match between the bin label, disposed in the trig in the text message of the user, vis-à

-vis one of the plurality of bins in a bin collection of the user.

15. The system of claim 14, the comparing being performed by the processor portion using fuzzy logic, such fuzzy logic identifying the match even though the bin label does not fully correspond with a name of the one of the plurality of bins.

16. The system of claim 15, the comparing being performed by the processor portion using fuzzy logic constituted by the processor portion respectively performing the comparing based only on the first character of the bin label vis-à

-vis the first character of the name of each of the plurality of bins in a bin collection of the user

17. The system of claim 1, the processor portion including processing particulars that are associated with each bin, to control performance of the identified command.

18. The system of claim 1, the system further including a network over which the text message is processed, and the user device, the user device being a smartphone.
