Abstract
A platform provides an intuitive and integrated management tool for disparate communications channels. Media such as web sites, web logs, electronic mail, instant messaging, and short messaging services may be combined and controlled through a single access point. The user interface for the access point may itself be deployed for use with a cellular phone, web client, or the like. While graphical user interfaces are one useful embodiment, a command-oriented interface may similarly be operated telephonically, or using electronic mail, instant messaging, SMS, or any other suitable technique.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving a command to update a web page of an electronic presence at a command processor executing on a hardware server, the command embedded in a message selected from a group consisting of an electronic mail message, an instant message, and a cellular text message;
- parsing the message at the command processor to identify the command;
- executing the command to update the web page;
- executing the command to update a non-web-based service of the electronic presence, wherein the non-web-based service is selected from a group consisting of an SMS(Short Message Service)-based service and a voice-based service;
- receiving a second command to update the web page of the electronic presence at the command processor, the second command embedded in a second message from a different one of the group consisting of an electronic mail message, an instant message, and a cellular text message;
- parsing the second message to identify the second command;
- and
- executing the second command to update the web page, wherein
- executing the command to update the non-web-based service comprises:
- generating a resource action;
- communicating the resource action to an information resource that provides the non-web-based service;
- receiving an alert from the information resource;
- interpreting the alert to determine an additional command;
- generating the additional command;
- and
- executing the additional command.
A computer program product embodied on in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the computer program product comprising computer executable code that, when executing on one or more computing devices, performs steps of:
- receiving a command to update a web page of an electronic presence, the command embedded in a message selected from a group consisting of an electronic mail message, an instant message, and a cellular text message;
- parsing the message to identify the command;
- executing the command to update the web page;
- executing the command to update a non-web-based service of the electronic presence, wherein the non-web-based service is selected from a group consisting of an SMS(Short Message Service)-based service and a voice-based service;
- receiving a second command to update the web page of the electronic presence, the second command embedded in a second message from a different one of the group consisting of an electronic mail message, an instant message, and a cellular text message;
- parsing the second message to identify the second command;
- and
- executing the second command to update the web page, wherein
- executing the command to update the non-web-based service comprises:
- generating a resource action.
- communicating the resource action to an information resource that provides the non-web-based service;
- receiving an alert from the information resource;
- interpreting the alert to determine an additional command;
- generating the additional command;
- and
- executing the additional command.
