Claims21
A system for sending an electronic file, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- open the electronic file to display an interactive control;
- receive an activation of a sharing function from the interactive control to share the electronic file;
- and
- in response to receiving the activation of the sharing function:
- process a text in the electronic file to detect information within the text associated with a user contact;
- identify address information of the user contact based on the detected information;
- send a notification to an email application for sending a message to the user contact, the notification comprising the electronic file and the address information;
- generate the message comprising the address information for sending to the user contact via the email application;
- and
- attach the electronic file to the message, wherein the attaching of the electronic file is without the user manually attaching the electronic file to the message.
A method for sending an electronic file, the method comprising:
- opening, by one or more processors, the electronic file to display an interactive control;
- receiving, by one or more processors, an activation of a sharing function from the interactive control to share the electronic file;
- and
- in response to receiving the activation of the sharing function:
- processing, by one or more processors, a text in the electronic file to detect information within the text associated with a user contact;
- identifying, by the one or more processors, address information of the user contact based on the detected information;
- sending, by one or more processors, a notification to an email application for sending a message to the user contact, the notification comprising the electronic file and the address information;
- generating, by one or more processors, the message comprising the address information for sending to the user contact via the email application;
- and
- attaching, by one or more processors, the electronic file to the message, wherein the attaching of the electronic file is without the user manually attaching the electronic file to the message.
A system for sending an electronic file, the system comprising:
- a means for opening the electronic file to display an interactive control;
- a means for receiving an activation of a sharing function from the interactive control to share the electronic file;
- and
- a means for performing, in response to receiving the activation of the sharing function:
- processing a text in the electronic file to detect information within the text associated with a user contact, the information comprises at least one of an address, a phone number, and a short login of an electronic message account;
- identifying address information of the user contact based on the detected information;
- send a notification to an email application for sending a message to the user contact, the notification comprising the electronic file and the address information;
- generating the message comprising the address information for sending to the user contact via the email application;
- and
- attaching the electronic file to the message, wherein the attaching of the electronic file is without the user manually attaching the electronic file to the message.
