The patent US12041019B2 outlines a method for managing a messaging system that interacts with a messaging server. The process begins with the reception of a message, which is at least partially encrypted, from a mobile messaging client associated with an authorized user. The message is stored in a database, and a notification is sent to a second mobile messaging client, indicating the presence of the message addressed to a different authorized user. The method includes steps for the second client to request the message, validate the request through client authentication, and retrieve the message along with its associated attributes. These attributes can dictate various functionalities of the message, such as access limitations based on content, recipient, or geographic location.

Further claims detail the flexibility of the message attributes, which can include predetermined deletion times, access duration, and the number of times the message can be accessed. The method allows for the updating of message attributes and the transmission of additional attributes to the second client. Notably, the original sender or an administrator can define or edit these attributes, ensuring that the message management aligns with specific user requirements. The system also accommodates notifications regarding the management status of the message, enhancing the overall control and security of the messaging process.
