Systems and methods for asynchronous communication

A computer-based system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, by the processor, a first message transmitted over a network from a first device;
• notifying, by the processor, a second device that the first device is waiting to communicate with the second device;
• transmitting, by the processor and to the first device, a first invitation to join a text-based communication channel;
• transmitting, by the processor and to the second device, a second invitation to join the text-based communication channel;
• joining, by the processor, the first device to the text-based communication channel;
• joining, by the processor, the second device to the text-based communication channel;
• receiving, by the processor, text-based communications from the first device and the second device using an Xml Message and Presence Protocol (XMPP);
• creating, by the processor, an XMPP room in response to receiving the text-based communications using the XMPP;
• writing, by the processor, the text-based communications to the XMPP room;
• retaining, by the processor, a context of the text-based communication channel;
• releasing, by the processor, the first device from the text-based communication channel;
• releasing, by the processor, the second device from the text-based communication channel;
• retaining, by the processor, a first identifier for the first device and a second identifier for the second device;
• receiving, by the processor and from the second device, new text-based communications;
• re-initiatializing, by the processor and in response to receiving the new text-based communications, the text-based communication channel using the second identifier;
• re-generating, by the processor, the context of the text-based communication channel using the first identifier and the second identifier, such that the context is available for review;
• writing, by the processor, the new text-based communications to the XMPP room such that the context is available for review in the XMPP room;
• extending, by the processor, XMPP classes for providing an extended XMPP;
• providing, by the processor, contextual retention behavior using the extending of the XMPP classes;
• providing, by the processor, room queuing behavior using the extending of the XMPP classes;
• re-joining, by the processor, the second device to the text-based communication channel by opening a TCP connection to the second device;
• transmitting, by the processor, a re-initializing message from the second device to the first device via the text-based communication channel;
• determining, by the processor, whether the first device has logged out of or has logged into the text-based communication channel;
• transmitting, by the processor and to the first device, a third invitation using a push notification to join the text-based communication channel, in response to the determining that the first device has logged out;
• transmitting, by the processor and to the first device, a fourth invitation to join the text-based communication channel, in response to the determining that the first device has logged in;
• receiving, by the processor and from the first device, a request to join the text-based communication channel;
• re-joining, by the processor, the first device to the text-based communication channel in the XMPP room by opening the TCP connection to the first device;
• and
• providing, by the processor and to the first device, the new text-based communications to the first device for review.
