Abstract

The APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AN INTELLIGENT INBOX COORDINATING HUB (“HUB”) facilitates the generation, evaluation, and recording of information and activities related to property transactions and associated communications. In embodiments, the HUB may be configured to effectuate intelligent inbox coordination, which may facilitate the processing of messages configured as email messages, XML data, HTTP POST message content, and/or the like for economical display and interaction. The HUB'"'"'s intelligent inbox coordination features may allow for the distillation of large volumes of message data and/or content to highlight and/or direct users to the particular message and/or attachment containing data that is most interesting or relevant to them. Aspects of HUB intelligent inbox coordination features may include the generation and application of email allocation rules and/or sub-rules; analysis, parsing, intelligent filing and/or sub-filing, and/or other processing of email content, attachments, and/or other associated data; generation of message and/or message data analytics, statistics, summaries, industry trends, news content, and/or the like; and/or the like.

Claims

1. An intelligent inbox coordinating processor-implemented method, comprising:

retrieving at least one message from a message repository;

identifying at least one data source associated with the at least one message;

accessing the at least one data source to extract target data;

analyzing the target data to determine at least one category association of the at least one message;

incrementing a counter for at least one category identifier based on the at least one category association;

generating a summary message including analytics based on the at least one counter; and

providing the summary message for display.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one message comprises at least one email message.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the message repository comprises an email folder, and wherein the at least one email message is allocated to the email folder based on at least one email allocation rule.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one data source comprises an attached file.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one data source is accessible via a link embedded in the at least one message.

6. The he method of claim 5, wherein the at least one data source comprises a web page.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one data source comprises a linked file.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one message is retrieved in response to a mobile device code capture.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one category association comprises at least one property category.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one property category comprises a real estate property category.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving at least one message response trigger in association with the at least one message;

generating a response message based on the at least one message response trigger; and

sending the response message to an originator of the at least one message.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the at least one message response trigger comprises a gut feel indicator.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

updating at least one category message response trigger aggregation record associated with the at least one category identifier based on the received at least one message response trigger; and

publishing the at least one category message response trigger aggregation record.

16. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

providing the email direction rule for approval; and

receiving an approval indicator in response to the providing.

18. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one property data message comprises an email message.

19. The method of claim 5, wherein the at least one property data message is received in response to at least one mobile device code capture.

23. The method of claim 1, wherein the message repository comprises a third-party data warehouse.

24. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving at least one message response trigger in association with the at least one message;

querying additional recipients based on the at least one category association when the at least one message response trigger satisfies positive reaction criteria; and

providing the at least one message to the additional recipients.

14. An intelligent inbox coordinating processor-implemented method, comprising:

periodically retrieving a plurality of email messages addressed to a user from at least one designated email message folder, wherein the plurality of email messages are previously directed to the at least one designated email message folder based on an evaluation of the plurality of email messages in relation to at least one email direction rule;

identifying at least one flyer file associated with each email message of the plurality of email messages, wherein the at least one flyer file is configured as either an attached portable document format file, a linked remote portable document format file, or a linked webpage;

accessing the at least one flyer file to extract property data,

wherein accessing includes downloading the flyer file when configured as an attached portable document format file, and accessing an associated link when configured as either a linked remote portable document format file or a linked webpage, and

wherein extracting property data includes converting the at least one flyer file to text;

analyzing extracted property data to determine property category associations of the plurality of email messages,

wherein analyzing includes;

parsing the extracted property data into a plurality of data fields,

correlating the data fields based on positional proximity in the flyer file, and

identifying property data values based on correlation of corresponding data fields with data fields of property data identifiers, and

wherein the at least one property category association is at least one of a company, a property type, and an address field;

incrementing counters for property category identifiers based on property category associations; and

generating a summary message including statistical analytics based on the counters; and

providing the summary message for display to the user.

15. An intelligent inbox coordinating processor-implemented method, comprising:

providing a selectable interface element in association with at least one email message;

receiving a selection of the selectable interface element;

correlating the selectable interface element with at least one email folder;

extracting email data from the at least one email message;

generating an email direction rule based on the email data, wherein the email direction rule is configured to direct future email messages having characteristics matching the email data to the at least one email folder.

17. A property listing service generating processor-implemented method, comprising:

receiving at least one property data message;

analyzing the at least one property data message to extract property information;

correlating extracted property information with at least one property category designation; and

updating a property listing service based on the correlating.

20. An intelligent inbox coordinating apparatus, comprising:

a memory;

a processor disposed in communication with the memory and configured to issue a plurality of processing instructions stored in the memory, wherein the processor issues instructions to;

retrieve at least one message from a message repository;

identify at least one data source associated with the at least one message;

access the at least one data source to extract target data;

analyze the target data to determine at least one category association of the at least one message;
