Abstract: Disclosed are computer systems and methods for contextually targeted advertising using a regular periodicity of information derived from a user's messaging behavior. The disclosed systems and methods enable the prediction of future purchases based on a periodicity analysis of a user's purchase history, whereby advertisements can be targeted to the user based on the user's determined purchase habits. The disclosed systems and methods analyze a user's inbox by mining for purchase receipt messages, and determine a frequency of purchases associated with such receipts. Based on the determined frequency, the disclosed systems and methods can predict when subsequent like or similar purchases are to occur, whereby relevant advertisements or coupons may be served to the user in advance of the projected purchases.

Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for transferring subscriptions are provided. For example, a user (e.g., and/or a device associated with the user) of a communication platform may request to transfer a plurality of subscriptions from a first account to a second account. Access information associated with the first account may be used to access a first storage space of the first account, the plurality of subscriptions may be identified based upon the first storage space, and the plurality of subscriptions may (e.g., concurrently) be transferred from the first account to the second account.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed systems and methods transform user search keywords into equivalent keyword formats commonly used and/or found within messaging platforms, and compile a data set from such information from which a search for content can be based. The present disclosure, therefore, provides systems and methods that augment users' search terms with terms found in users' mailboxes for purposes of searching for, identifying and communicating content that is relevant to those users.

Abstract: Users may receive content (e.g., an email, an app interface, a website, a social media post, etc.) comprising a first advertisement. The first advertisement may be evaluated to extract advertisement features (e.g., an item, an item price, a supplemental term of the first advertisement, etc.). An advertisement opportunity may be offered to a second advertiser through an advertiser exchange interface. The second advertiser may generate an advertisement bid to show a second advertisement for the item. Responsive to the advertisement bid being more favorable to the user than the first advertisement (e.g., a lower price, the item with enhanced features for a similar price, etc.), the first advertisement and the second advertisement may be presented with the content to the user.

Abstract translation: 用户可以接收包括第一广告的内容（例如，电子邮件，应用界面，网站，社交媒体帖子等）。 可以评估第一广告以提取广告特征（例如，项目，项目价格，第一广告的补充术语等）。 可以通过广告商交换界面向第二广告商提供广告机会。 第二广告商可以产生广告投标以显示该项目的第二广告。 响应于广告投标比第一广告更有利于用户（例如，较低的价格，具有类似价格的增强特征的商品等），可以向第一广告和第二广告呈现内容 用户。

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for automatically deleting messages from a recipient's inbox. The disclosed systems and methods provide the ability for automatic actions to be taken on delivered messages based on a passage of time. This enables a sender of messages, email service provider and/or email platform to exert control over sent messages to limit the number and type of operations that may be performed on such messages. For example, operations such as saving, forwarding, printing, copying, or otherwise duplicating the message and/or message data can be prohibited and all together rendered impossible. The disclosed systems and methods enables the purging of messages and associated message data from a recipient's inbox at a certain specified time, after the passage of a pre-determined amount of time, or upon the detection of a specified event.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for email management that leverages information derived from automatically generated messages in order to identify types of messages and message content. The disclosed systems and methods apply the information learned from decoding previously received messages to other messages in a user's inbox to fully, or at least partially decode the information included within such messages. The disclosed systems and methods analyze messages received in a user's inbox to detect message specific information corresponding to types of content in the message and the location of such content in the messages. The message specific information is then applied to other newly received or identified messages to learn message specific information about those messages. Based on such learning, information can be extracted from such messages in order to increase a user's experience and increase monetization.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于电子邮件管理的系统和方法，其利用从自动生成的消息导出的信息，以便识别消息和消息内容的类型。 所公开的系统和方法将从先前接收的消息解码学习的信息应用于用户收件箱中的其他消息，以完全或至少部分地解码包括在这些消息内的信息。 所公开的系统和方法分析在用户收件箱中接收的消息，以检测对应于消息中的内容的类型的消息特定信息以及消息中的这些内容的位置。 然后将消息特定信息应用于其他新接收或识别的消息，以学习关于这些消息的消息特定信息。 基于这样的学习，可以从这样的消息中提取信息，以便增加用户的体验和增加获利。

Abstract: Electronic messages may comprise pieces of economic data, such as an email comprising a first sales receipt and an instant message comprising a second sales receipt. Pieces of economic data may be extracted from electronic messages to obtain a set of extracted economic data. A scale factor may be determined based upon historical economic data (e.g., gross domestic sales data, stock data, etc.). A real-time economic indicator (e.g., a coincident indicator, a leading indicator, etc.) may be determined based upon the set of extracted economic data and the scale factor. The real-time economic indicator may be provided to users, such as through a real-time feedback (e.g., according to a license agreement).

Abstract translation: 电子消息可以包括经济数据，诸如包括第一销售收据的电子邮件和包括第二销售收据的即时消息。 可以从电子消息中提取经济数据，以获得一组提取的经济数据。 可以基于历史经济数据（例如，国内总销售数据，库存数据等）来确定比例因子。 可以基于提取的经济数据和比例因子的集合来确定实时经济指标（例如，重合指标，主要指标等）。 可以例如通过实时反馈（例如，根据许可协议）向用户提供实时经济指标。
