SHARING MESSAGES AND CONVERSATION STRING, WITH OR WITHOUT ATTACHMENT, BY HIDING OR REVEALING SOURCE, AND ADDING A NOTE IN A DIGITAL MESSAGING APPLICATION

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present PCT application claims priority to, and the benefit of, Indian application no. 202041007756, which was filed on 24-02-2020 and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention, in general, relates to information technology and computer applications, and more particularly to a digital messaging application for mobile communication devices which can be accessed from all types of communication devices like Mobile phones, Desktop Computers, Laptop Computers, and Digital Tablets.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Mobile communication devices such as Mobile phones, IOS devices, Android devices, along with digital tablets, Desktop computers, Laptop computers are increasingly powerful and the sources of potential incoming/outgoing messages are increasingly more varied. As a result, such mobile communication devices are being designed and built to permit users to accept various types of messages. Communication Applications include but not limited to Whatsapp, WeChat, Slack, Telegram, Facebook and Google Hangout are becoming increasingly popular among Internet and worldwide web users because they are easy to use but there is no such feature like sharing messages or whole conversation string among the users within the application. The applications have the option for the users to share the messages to other applications or within the application with the maximum limitations. In the prior art techniques, there is no such option to share the messages to an individual/group by hiding or revealing the source within the application. And also there is no such option to share the whole conversation string and continue the conversation with the recipient or within the recipient in the group after sharing. And also, there is no facility to write a personal or official note along with the shared message or conversation.

While sharing a message, the users are supposed to reveal the source of the message (about the person who sent the message). There is no solution available for sharing the business messages/personal messages in a flexible way by hiding/revealing the source. Apart from business messages sometimes, individuals also have the intention to hide/reveal the source of the message or conversation or the attachment (audio, video, pictures, documents etc).

Reference has been made to US8533284B2, which teaches the sharing of different types of messages to the receiver in a fashion similar to that in which the sender received. Further reference has been made to TWI229798B disclosing the sharing of digital content. The above discussed are related to the sharing of the messages with some limitations.

Thus there is a need for a system facilitating a method to handle the sharing of messages/communication (single message/multiple messages/conversation) to a group/individual by hiding/revealing source with a share note, thereby addressing certain key challenges in the existing messaging application tools, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Google Hangout, WeChat, Slack, Signal, IMO, Telegram, Hike and so on.

While sharing some kind of ‘specific messages’ that may be very important the user may choose ‘hide source’ because it might cause harm to the source (original sender) or it may create ‘confusion’ because of the ‘revealing source’ or ‘the original sender is not interested in sharing his / her messages with their name’ so ‘hiding the source’ will ensure ‘confidentiality’ - in all these scenarios, the user would like to use the option - ‘ Sharing the message by hiding the origin of the source and also a need exists for sharing the whole conversation and continue the conversation with the recipient(individual/group). All of these above-quoted sharing scenarios need to be sometimes shared by the users with a share note along with the message to know who is the originator of the message/attachment and how many times the messages/attachment (audio, video, pictures, documents etc) has been shared.

Based on the foregoing, a further need exists for digital messaging application with a user-friendly messaging application paradigm for sharing the message. The sharing of messages or conversations can be for business or personal purposes. The message or conversation can be shared from an individual or group to multiple individuals or groups by hiding or revealing the source. The message or conversation can be shared by adding a note or without note. And also the option to continue the conversation after sharing with the recipient.
