The granted patent (Publication Number: US11963073B2) describes a system designed to enhance messaging communication between users. The system includes a message server with a processor and memory that stores computer executable code to receive messages from sending devices executing a messaging application. The system determines if the recipient is associated with a device having the messaging application and transmits the message accordingly. If the recipient does not have the messaging application, the system stores the contact information and sends a message notification alert via an alternate communication method, providing a link to a secure browsing session for real-time conversation.

Additionally, the system includes features such as an authentication requirement for message access, an invitation to download the messaging application through a web-based interface, and fields in the message notification alert containing information about the message, including ephemeral limitations on reading the message and sender/recipient indicators. The system also allows for the sending of subsequent messages in the conversation, with corresponding message notification alerts sent via the alternate communication method, which can be either an SMS or email messaging method. These claims highlight the innovative approach of the system in ensuring effective communication between users, even when the messaging application is not available to all parties involved.
