Problems solved by technology

However, existing dictionaries have specific limitations that limit their application to specific contexts, such as in chat communities where new abbreviations are heavily used and constantly created
Additionally, the definitions provided by current chat dictionaries cannot be incorporated into assistive technologies, such as those for the visually impaired
Finally, there is no technology that allows users to translate chat abbreviations and terms into different languages ​​or based on intended audience

Embodiment Construction

[0015] Referring now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a computer system 10 having a messaging system 18 that allows a user 44 to participate in a two-way communication or "chat" session with one or more remote users via a communication network 50. The messaging system 18 may include any type of system capable of exchanging chat-based messages, for example, IM systems, text messaging systems, web blogs, wikis, emails, RSS, etc. The network 50 may include any type of communication network, for example, the Internet, a cellular network, wireless, and so on. In the illustrative embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the messaging system 18 receives messages (e.g., chat input 48) from one or more remote users, and outputs messages generated by the user 44 (e.g., Chat output 46). Generally, the messaging system 18 includes a user interface (not shown) that allows the user 44 to display and enter messages. Such an interface is well known in the prior art, and may include, for example, a first window i...

Abstract

A system and method for defining and translating chat abbreviations. A system is provided for modifying messages in real-time based on an identity of an intended recipient, including: a rules database that includes rules for translating chat abbreviations based on the identity of the intended recipient; a system for identifying a chat abbreviation in a message; and a rules engine that associates a set of rules from the rules database with the intended recipient and applies the set of rules to the chat abbreviation identified in the message. Also included is a system for providing composite definitions of chat abbreviations in a multi-lingual chat session based upon a locale and a language of a sender and the intended recipient.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to messaging systems, and more specifically to systems and methods for defining and translating chat acronyms in a messaging environment. Background technique [0002] Instant messaging (IM) has become a popular form of electronic communication, generally referred to as "chat." There are various platforms supporting IM, including Internet-based applications such as AOL(R) IM, MSN MESSENGER(R), etc., and wireless-based applications such as cellular phone text messaging. To reduce typing, chat acronyms have been developed and incorporated into chat jargon, including text strings such as ttyl (talk to you later), ttfn (ta ta for now), bibi (byebye), ur (you are?) )Wait. These are just a few of the many recognizable chat acronyms that are common chat jargon used by enthusiastic IM users. [0003] However, the use of chat acronyms has several disadvantages. First and foremost is the fact that the user may not know what the...
