US 11,960,472 B2 · Synchronizing content with third-party application

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for synchronizing messages. The systems and methods include operations for: identifying a difference between a current state of a messaging application and a shared synchronization database, wherein the shared synchronization database is updated via a third-party application in response to the third-party application receiving, from a server, a notification related to the messaging application, the messaging application and the third-party application being implemented on a client device; retrieving information from the shared synchronization database to update the current state of the messaging application based on the identified difference; and transmitting, to the server by the messaging application, a request for content based on the update to the current state of the messaging application.

A method comprising:

establishing a communication session between a plurality of user devices;
and
identifying a difference between a current state of an application and a shared synchronization database, the shared synchronization database storing identifiers of one or more content items exchanged in the communication session, the shared synchronization database storing a matrix comprising a plurality of vectors, a first vector of the plurality of vectors being associated with a first user device of the plurality of user devices, the first vector storing a first set of sequence numbers of content items sent by the first user device, a second vector of the plurality of vectors being associated with a second user device of the plurality of user devices, the second vector storing a second set of sequence numbers of content items sent by the second user device.

A system comprising:

at least one processor configured to perform operations comprising:
establishing a communication session between a plurality of user devices;
and
identifying a difference between a current state of an application and a shared synchronization database, the shared synchronization database storing identifiers of one or more content items exchanged in the communication session, the shared synchronization database storing a matrix comprising a plurality of vectors, a first vector of the plurality of vectors being associated with a first user device of the plurality of user devices, the first vector storing a first set of sequence numbers of content items sent by the first user device, a second vector of the plurality of vectors being associated with a second user device of the plurality of user devices, the second vector storing a second set of sequence numbers of content items sent by the second user device.
