CLOUD-BASED UNIVERSAL COLLABORATIVE MESSAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A server, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory; and
a universal collaborative messaging system (UCMS) application contained in the memory and executed by the processor, the UCMS application configured to receive messages from a plurality of different messaging sources, wherein the messages are configured as communications from a sender to at least one recipient including a user, transform a received message from a first messaging format into a second messaging format, wherein the second messaging format is configured as at least one of a file and folder compatible with a standardized file management system, store the transformed message in the second messaging format in a secure central memory in communication with the server, and send a notification to a communication device of the user, wherein the notification activates a universal message viewing application on the communication device and causes at least a portion of the transformed message to display on the communication device and enables a connection to the secure central memory via the communication device and the server.

Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems are provided for converting messages received from different sources into a universal file management system format managed by a central server. Each message may be sent from a sender to at least one recipient in a communication system. Upon receiving the messages, the central server converts each message into at least one folder and file. The files or folders can be stored in a secure central repository or memory. The secure central repository may include directory-sync servicing to virtually a user communication device other than the server. Files or folders may be marked as sensitive and restricted from access, copying, or other distribution. Sensitive files and folders, representing messages received can be restricted to viewing via a real-time communication application running on a user'"'"'s communication device and portal connection to the secure central repository.
