Claims19
A computer implemented method of preventing electronic messages from being sent to unintended recipients using an electronic communication interface, the method comprising:
- displaying communication address information of at least one addressee on a first portion of the electronic communication interface to indicate the at least one addressee is at least one selected addressee;
- displaying at least one graphical send button within a second portion of the electronic communication interface for use by a sender to initiate transmission of at least one electronic message to the at least one addressee upon actuation of the at least one graphical send button;
- and
- displaying at least one photograph uniquely pre-associated with the at least one addressee within a data repository associated with the electronic communication interface on the at least a first portion of the at least one graphical send button based on the displaying communication address information of the least one addressee on the first portion of the electronic communication interface to indicate the at least one addressee is the at least one selected addressee.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instruction for use on a smart device, the instructions being usable to execute a method of preventing electronic messages from being sent to unintended recipients using an electronic communication interface, the method comprising:
- displaying communication address information of at least one addressee on a first portion of the electronic communication interface to indicate the at least one addressee is at least one selected addressee;
- displaying at least one graphical send button within a second portion of the electronic communication interface for use by a sender to initiate transmission of at least one electronic message to the at least one addressee upon actuation of the at least one graphical send button;
- and
- displaying at least one photograph uniquely pre-associated with the at least one addressee within a data repository associated with the electronic communication interface on the at least a first portion of the at least one graphical send button based on the displaying communication address information of the least one addressee on the first portion of the electronic communication interface to indicate the at least one addressee is the at least one selected addressee.
A computer implemented method of preventing electronic messages from being sent to unintended recipients using an electronic communication interface, the method comprising:
- receiving selection instruction regarding at least one addressee thereby designating the at least one addressee as at least one selected addressee;
- displaying at least one graphical send button within a second portion of the electronic communication interface for use by a sender to initiate transmission of at least one electronic message to the at least one addressee upon actuation of the at least one graphical send button;
- and
- modifying the at least one graphical send button to display at least one photograph uniquely pre-associated with the at least one addressee within a data repository associated with the electronic communication interface on the at least one graphical send button based on the receiving selection instruction regarding at least one addressee thereby indicating the at least one addressee is at least one selected addressee.
