Real-time messaging in transaction events

Abstract

Systems, methods and media are provided to implement real-time transaction events using real-time messaging. In one embodiment, a system comprises a messaging server to communicate with a market place environment via at least one communication channel using a real-time communication protocol. The server communicates an event notification message to a user in response to detecting a predetermined transaction event placed on a listing watched by the user, and communicates an action message to the market place environment from the user via the at least one communication channel. The action message may include a re-bid on the listing watched by the user.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A system comprising:
 a messaging server including at least one processor and memory including instructions to:   communicate with a market place environment Tia at least one communication channel using a real-time communication protocol;   communicate an event notification message to a user in response to detecting a predetermined transaction event placed on a listing watched by the user; and   communicate an action message to the market place environment from the user via the at least one communication channel.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the action message is communicated automatically to the market place environment in response to detecting a predetermined transaction event placed on the listing watched by the user. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the predetermined transaction event is a higher bid placed on the listing watched by the user, and the communicated action message includes a re-bid, placed by the user, on the listing. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the market place environment further includes a commerce server to communicate with the messaging server. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the commerce server includes a notification engine module to generate the event notification and to communicate the event notification to the messaging server. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the commerce server includes an Application Program Interface (API) server module to receive the transaction event from the messaging server. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the messaging server includes a text parser module to parse a text message. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the messaging server further includes a bid logic module to receive the parsed text message from the text parser module and, to retrieve transaction event information from the parsed text message, the transaction event information including a transaction event type, a transaction event value, a transaction event name, and a listing from the parsed message. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the communicated event notification or action message includes at least one of a voice or text message. 
     
     
         11 . A processor-implemented method comprising:
 at a network-based commerce system including at least one processor and memory storing instructions, the at least one processor executing the instructions to perform the operations of:   communicating with a market place environment via at least one communication channel using a real-time communication protocol;   communicating an event notification message to a user in response to detecting a predetermined transaction event placed on a listing watched by the user; and   communicating an action message to the market place environment from the user via the at least one communication channel.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the communicated event notification or action message includes at least one of a voice or text message. 
     
     
         13 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, including instructions, which when read by the machine, cause the machine to perform the operations of:
 communicating with a market place environment via at least one communication channel using a real-time communication protocol;   communicating an event notification message to a user in response to detecting a predetermined transaction event placed on a listing watched by the user; and   communicating an action message to the market place environment from the user via the at least one communication channel.
