Media messaging methods, systems, and devices

Abstract

A wireless communications system that allows a mobile phone, tablet or personal computer user the ability to initiate the sending of a text message or email whereby the sender is able to include photographs, graphs, pie charts and the like within the flow of the actual word by word texting or email writing process, without depending on the traditional necessary step to “attach” the photograph.

1 . A wireless device in electronic communication with a messaging service along a cellular wireless network, the messaging service configured to evaluate at least one media insertion request, retrieve media from at least one database of media based on the evaluated at least one media insertion request, insert the retrieved media into the message, and present the message to a receiving user, the wireless device comprising:
 a memory; and   a processor in electronic communication with the memory, the processor configured to:
 initiate a messaging session with a receiving user, 
 receive a message including at least one media insertion request, and 
 transmit the message to the messaging service. 
   
     
     
         2 . The wireless device of  claim 1 , the processor further configured to provide:
 a graphical user interface for receiving the message;   an upload module configured to package messages for the messaging service; and   a connection module operably coupled to the graphical user interface and the upload module and configured to interface with the messaging service.   
     
     
         3 . The wireless device of  claim 1 , wherein receiving the message on the electronic device comprises receiving a string of text, the string of text including a shortcut key as the at least one media insertion request. 
     
     
         4 . The wireless device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one media insertion request is included within the message by at least one of tapping, clicking, dragging, or typing of a shortcut key on the wireless device. 
     
     
         5 . A communications system comprising:
 a first user device presenting a first user interface;   a second user device presenting a second user interface;   a messaging cloud including:
 at least one database of rich media data, 
   wherein the database is a Media Messaging Platform,
 a messaging service configured to:
 receive a message, the message including a rich media data request from the first user device, 
 retrieve the requested rich media data from the at least one database of rich media data, wherein the at least one database of rich media data comprises a personalized image library including a plurality of images, 
 insert the retrieved rich media data into the message while maintaining text flow, 
 present the message to the second user device via the second user interface; and 
 
   a network operably coupling the first user device, the second user device, and the messaging cloud,   wherein the message is originally formatted on the first user device via the first user interface such that the rich media data request is within the message.   
     
     
         6 . The communications system of  claim 5 , further comprising an image library organizer configured to:
 upload rich media data to the at least one database of rich media data; and   assign shortcut keys to rich media data.   
     
     
         7 . The communications system of  claim 5 , wherein each of the plurality of images has a relation to a shortcut key.
