Method and system for providing live real-time communication via text between mobile user devices
First Claim
1. A method for providing real-time communication via text between multiple user devices, the method comprising:
- receiving, at an application server, a communication request from a first user device, wherein the communication request is based upon a selection of a second user device from a contact list that is stored on the first user device;
sending the communication request from the application server to the second user device;
if the communication request is accepted by the second user device, sending a first at least one datagram message to be received by the second user device, from the first user device to the application server, wherein the first at least one datagram message comprises a first at least one transmitted text;
receiving, at the first user device, a second at least one datagram message sent by the second user device from the application server, wherein the second at least one datagram message comprises a second at least one transmitted text;
displaying the first at least one transmitted text sent from the first user device on the second user device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the first user; and
displaying the second at least one transmitted text sent from the second user device on the first user device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the second user.

Abstract
A method and system for providing real-time communication via text between multiple user devices, the method including receiving, at an application server, a conversation request from a first user device, wherein the conversation request is based upon a selection of a second user device from a contact list that is stored on the first user device, sending the conversation request from the application server to a push server, receiving, at the application server, a conversation session ID from the second user device, if the conversation request is accepted by the second user device, sending the conversation session ID from the application server to the push server, receiving, at the application server, a first datagram message from the first user device, sending the first datagram message from the application server to the second user device, receiving, at the application server, a second datagram message from the second user device, and sending the second datagram message from the application server to the first user device.

5. A computer system for providing real-time communication via text between multiple user devices, comprising:
-
one or more processors and memory to store one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions for; receiving, at an application server, a communication request from a first user device, wherein the communication request is based upon a selection of a second user device from a contact list that is stored on the first user device; sending the communication request from the application server to the second user device; if the communication request is accepted by the second user device, sending a first at least one datagram message to be received by the second user device, from the first user device to the application server, wherein the first at least one datagram message comprises a first at least one transmitted text; receiving, at the first user device, a second at least one datagram message sent by the second user device from the application server, wherein the second at least one datagram message comprises a second at least one transmitted text; displaying the first at least one transmitted text sent from the first user device on the second user device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the first user; and displaying the second at least one transmitted text sent from the second user device on the first user device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the second user. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs for providing real-time communication via text between multiple user devices, the one or more programs for execution by one or more processors of a computer system, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:
-
receiving, at an application server, a communication request from a first user device, wherein the communication request is based upon a selection of a second user device from a contact list that is stored on the first user device; sending the communication request from the application server to the second user device; if the communication request is accepted by the second user device, sending a first at least one datagram message to be received by a second user device, from the first user device to the application server, wherein the first at least one datagram message comprises a first at least one transmitted text; receiving, at the first user device, a second at least one datagram message sent by the second user device from the application server, wherein the second at least one datagram message comprises a second at least one transmitted text; displaying the first at least one transmitted text sent from the first user device on the second user device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the first user; and displaying the second at least one transmitted text sent from the second user device on the first user device in a real-time, character-by-character manner as being typed by the second user. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
