Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for composing and sharing a message based on the motion of a handheld electronic device such as a ring. The methods in some implementations include presenting a keyboard on a display, collecting course data associated with a course traveled by the ring, and overlying a trace onto the keyboard, such that the trace is correlated in near real-time with the course traveled by the ring. In some implementations the display element is part of a portable device, such as the lens of an electronic eyewear device. Based on the course data relative to the key locations on the keyboard, the system identifies and presents candidate words to be included in a message.

The present invention includes computerized method and apparatus for user interactivity with a network application executing on a server. The method and apparatus includes receiving, via a wireless network, an event message from a mobile device, the event message representing an input from a user interface on the mobile device where the user interface is executing based on a mobile application. The method and apparatus further includes generating data values based on the input in the event message and information relating to the mobile device. Moreover, the method and apparatus includes sending an update message to the mobile device based on the data values for updating a display of the mobile device.

A messaging system comprises a plurality of connected components and including a schema defining fields for messages, at least one field defined as non-essential. A mechanism for operating the messaging system comprises the steps of collecting one or more performance metrics for one or more components of the messaging system, determining that at least one performance metric has crossed a predetermined threshold, informing one or more components of the messaging system that a surge in workload has occurred, and the informed components removing non-essential fields from transmitted messages and/or not processing non-essential fields from received messages.

This application discloses a communications control method and a communications terminal, so as to implement a change between a point-to-point chat and a group chat among multiple persons, and a user may set a chat identity of the user by using a character. The communications control method provided in this application includes: controlling, by a communications terminal, a first character to move on a character layer, and displaying, on a communications display interface of the communications terminal, different characters on the character layer with the movement of the first character, the first character being displayed on the communications display interface of the communications terminal, the character layer including: the first character and at least one character other than the first character, and the first character being a user object that represents a user when the user chats using the communications terminal; obtaining, by the communications terminal, chat content entered by the user into the communications terminal; and displaying, by the communications terminal, the chat content on the communications display interface as an identity of the first character.

A method and system for processing an email having redacted content, and/or where the message content has been encrypted and recorded as encrypted, is provided.

The subject technology determines, by at least one processor, that a value of a capability parameter is not available for a first recipient device, the first recipient device being one of a plurality of recipient devices. The subject technology receives, from the first recipient device, a value of the capability parameter. The subject technology clusters, by at least one processor, the plurality of recipient devices into a plurality of groups of recipient devices based on device capabilities including an available storage space. The subject technology determines, for each group of recipient devices, a set of content parameters compatible with device capabilities of the plurality of recipient devices of a group of client devices. The subject technology generates, for each group of recipient devices, a version of content according to an associated set of content parameters.
