Electronic message send device handling system and method with media component and header information separation
DC CAFCFirst Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of handling an electronic message at a sending user device in a networked environment, the electronic message including an identifier of a recipient and a message content, the sending user device having access to electronic instructions, the electronic instructions being stored at the sending user device and/or at a server computer, the method comprising:
- associating a message content including a media component with the electronic message via a first display at a sending user device;
associating an identifier of a recipient with the electronic message via a second display at the sending user device, the first and second displays being generated by the electronic instructions such that the first and second displays are not displayed at the same time via the sending user device, the electronic instructions acting on the displays at the sending user device such that the media component is not displayed with the identifier of a recipient via the second display preventing a single screen capture of both the identifier of a recipient and the media component;
transmitting the message content including a media component from the sending user device to a server computer; and
transmitting the identifier of a recipient from the sending user device to the server computer, said transmitting the message content including a media component and said transmitting the identifier of a recipient occurring separately, the identifier of a recipient and the message content including a media component each including a correlation to allow the identifier of a recipient and the message content including a media component to be related to each other at a later time by the server computer.

Abstract
An electronic messaging system and method with reduced traceability. Message content and an identifier of a recipient are associated with an electronic message at a sending user device. The message content including a media component is associated via a first display and the identifier of a recipient is associated via a second display. The first and second displays are not displayed at the same time. The identifier of the recipient and the media component are not displayed at the same time via the second display. Transmission of recipient identifier and message content including a media component occurs separately from the sending user device. Methods, systems, and computer readable media with separation of the display of media component and recipient identifier in various implementations may provide for reduced traceability of an electronic message.

11. A machine readable hardware storage medium containing machine executable instructions implementing a method of handling an electronic message at a sending user device in a networked environment, the electronic message including an identifier of a recipient and a message content, the instructions comprising:
-
a set of instructions for associating a message content including a media component with the electronic message via a first display at a sending user device; a set of instructions for associating an identifier of a recipient with the electronic message via a second display at the sending user device, the set of instructions for associating a message content including a media component and the set of instructions for associating an identifier of a recipient including instructions such that the first and second displays are not displayed at the same time via the sending user device, the set of instructions for associating an identifier of a recipient acting on the sending user device such that the media component is not displayed with the identifier of a recipient via the second display preventing a single screen capture of both the identifier of a recipient and the media component; a set of instructions for transmitting the message content including a media component from the sending user device to a server computer; and a set of instructions for transmitting the identifier of a recipient from the sending user device to the server computer, said transmitting the message content including a media component and said transmitting the identifier of a recipient occurring separately, the identifier of a recipient and the message content including a media component each including a correlation to allow the identifier of a recipient and the message content including a media component to be related to each other at a later time by the server computer. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for handling an electronic message at a sending user device in a networked environment, the electronic message including a header information and a message content, the system comprising:
-
a means for associating a message content including a media component with the electronic message via a first display at a sending user device; a means for associating an identifier of a recipient with the electronic message via a second display at the sending user device, the set of instructions for associating a message content including a media component and the set of instructions for associating an identifier of a recipient including instructions such that the first and second displays are not displayed at the same time via the sending user device, the set of instructions for associating an identifier of a recipient acting on the sending user device such that the media component is not displayed with the identifier of a recipient via the second display preventing a single screen capture of both the identifier of a recipient and the media component; a means for transmitting the message content including a media component from the sending user device to a server computer; and a means for transmitting the identifier of a recipient from the sending user device to the server computer, said transmitting the message content including a media component and said transmitting the identifier of a recipient occurring separately, the identifier of a recipient and the message content including a media component each including a correlation to allow the identifier of a recipient and the message content including a media component to be related to each other at a later time by the server computer. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
