Taking actions on notifications using an incomplete data set from a message

Abstract

An apparatus, a system, and a method in which a message notification application such as an e-mail notification application resident in a first memory on a wearable electronic device is configured to provide messaging actions; where the message notification application has a user interface to present content of a message originating from an message application resident on a mobile computing device; where the message notification application is configured to analyze a notification of the message to obtain an incomplete data set; and where the message notification application is configured to work with a server configured to integrate with one or more application programming interfaces of one or more messaging service providers, where the server has a server module configured to receive the incomplete data set and use all or a portion of the incomplete data set as search query terms to retrieve an instance of the message in its full-message format.

         26 . The electronic device of  claim 21 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further enable the electronic device to:
 transmit the request to the server, wherein the request includes instructions that cause the server to contact the messaging server to identify the message and apply the selected action to the message at the messaging service provider.   
     
     
         27 . The electronic device of  claim 21 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further enable the electronic device to:
 transmit the request to the mobile computing device, wherein the request includes instructions that cause the mobile computing device to contact the messaging service provider to identify the message and apply the selected action to the message at the messaging service provider.   
     
     
         28 . The electronic device of  claim 21 , wherein the instructions, when executed, further enable the electronic device to:
 transmit the request to the mobile computing device, wherein the request includes instructions that cause the mobile computing device to transmit a corresponding request to the server, the corresponding request including instructions that cause the server to contact the messaging service provider to identify the message and apply the selected action to the message at the messaging service provider.   
     
     
         29 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
 receiving a first request from a user device, the first request including i) an incomplete data set associated with a notification displayed at a user device; and ii) user input data corresponding to a selected action associated with the notification;   generating query data based at least in part on the incomplete data set and the selected action;   determining a messaging service associated with the message;   determining a interfacing schema associated with the messaging service;   populating the interfacing schema with the query data;   generating a second request using the interfacing schema populated with the query data; and   transmitting the second request to a messaging service provider associated with the message, the second request causing a database at the messaging service provider to be queried using the query data to identify the message and the selected action to be applied to the message.   
     
     
         30 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 29 , wherein the message in its complete form is represented by message data on the messaging service provider. 
     
     
         31 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 30 , wherein the second request includes instructions that cause the messaging service provider to:
 identifying the message data associated with the message; and   returning the message data in response to the second request.   
     
     
         32 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 31 , further comprising:
 receiving the message data from the messaging service provider associated with the message; and   transmitting the message data to the user device in response to the first request.
