Abstract
A server device may receive file data from a user device via a web browser application associated with the user device. The file data may be extracted by an application, different from the web browser application, associated with the user device. The server device may determine an acquisition technique based on the file data; obtain a computer file, associated with the file data, using the acquisition technique; receive, from the user device, a request to transmit a message including the computer file; insert the computer file in the message; and transmit the message.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a server device, file data from a user device via a web browser application associated with the user device,
- the file data being extracted by an application different from the web browser application;
- determining, by the server device, an acquisition technique based on the file data;
- obtaining, by the server device, a computer file, associated with the file data, using the acquisition technique;
- receiving, by the server device and from the user device, a request to transmit a message including the computer file;
- inserting, by the server device, the computer file in the message;
- and
- transmitting, by the server device, the message.
A system comprising:
- a server device, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory device storing:
- a plurality of processor-executable instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the plurality of processor-executable instructions, wherein executing the processor-executable instructions causes the processor to:
- receive file data from a user device via a web browser application associated with the user device,
- the file data being extracted by an application, different from the web browser application, associated with the user device;
- determine an acquisition technique based on the file data;
- obtain a computer file, associated with the file data, using the acquisition technique;
- receive, from the user device, a request to transmit a message including the computer file;
- insert the computer file in the message;
- and
- transmit the message.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a user device, user input to drag and drop an image from a first application to a messaging client associated with a second application,
- the first application being different from the second application,
- the second application being a web browser application;
- extracting, by the user device and via the first application, image data associated with the dragging and dropping of the image;
- and
- providing, by the user device and via the messaging client, the image data to a server device to cause the server device to obtain the image using the image data.
