Abstract
A system and method for receiving and executing emoji based commands in messaging applications. The system and method may include processes such as identifying emojis in a message, determining one or more action based on the emoji, and completing the determined actions.
Claims20
A system, comprising
- a non-transitory memory storing instructions;
- and
- one or more hardware processors configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to:
- receive a user-authored message in a messaging application installed on a user device, the user-authored message comprising a string of user inputs including at least an emoji;
- parse the string of the user-authored message received in the messaging application to identify user identification information and the emoji;
- detect that the emoji of the user-authored message is linked to an emoji-based command in a command table of a database;
- determine a security level corresponding to the emoji-based command, wherein the security level is one of a plurality of security levels, and wherein each emoji-based command in the command table corresponds to one of the plurality of security levels;
- and
- process an action associated with the emoji-based command using the security level and the user identification information.

A method comprising:
- receiving, by one or more hardware processors, a user-authored message in a messaging application installed on a user device, the user-authored message comprising a string of user inputs including at least one emoji;
- parsing, by the one or more hardware processors, the string of the user-authored message received in the messaging application;
- identifying, based on the parsing, user identification information and an emoji based on the user-authored message;
- identifying an emoji-based command, based on the emoji of the user-authored message, the emoji-based command corresponding to one of the emoji-based commands in a command table of a database;
- determining, by the one or more hardware processors, a security level associated with the emoji-based command, wherein the security level is one of a plurality of security levels, and wherein each emoji-based command in the command table corresponds to one of the plurality of security levels;
- and
- processing, by one or more hardware processors, an action associated with the emoji-based command using the security level and the user identification information.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon machine-readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a user-authored message in a messaging application installed on a user device, the user-authored message comprising a string of user inputs including at least one emoji;
- parsing the string of the user-authored message received in the messaging application;
- identifying, based on the parsing, user identification information and an emoji based on the user-authored message;
- determining, based on a command table of the messaging application, that the emoji of the user-authored message is associated with an emoji-based command;
- determining a security level associated with the emoji-based command, wherein the security level is one of a plurality of security levels, and wherein each emoji-based command in the command table corresponds to one of the plurality of security levels;
- and
- processing an action associated with the emoji-based command using the security level and the user identification information.
