Abstract:
A method of visually organizing multiple parallel chat topics on the display screens of mobile devices used in messaging conversations is provided. Visual media and external apps are integrated into such displays, by forming parallel orthogonally spaced chat threads, where preferably each chat thread has a visual element associated with it displayed in a visual display area. The different chat participants can each manipulate or interact with the visual element of any selected chat thread.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of providing a graphical user interface on display screens of a plurality of computing devices which are accessible to a computer network to enable a plurality of participants in a messaging conversation to participate in a plurality of parallel chat topics over the course of said conversation, said method comprising:\n i) providing on said graphical user interface a topic name display area and a chat thread display area; ii) enabling a first participant to start a main chat thread by sending a first message which is displayed in each participant's chat thread display area thereby starting a first main chat topic thread; iii) enabling one or more of said participants to start one or more additional chat topic threads by sending a topic-beginning message which includes a topic name and a topic-creating code and which is displayed in each said participant's chat thread display area; iv) displaying each said topic name in said topic name display area; v) enabling each participant to add messages to each said participant's chat thread display area in relation to one of said topic names by carrying out a topic-adding step; thereby forming a plurality of secondary chat threads in addition to said main chat topic thread in relation to each topic name in parallel with said main chat topic thread; vi) further providing a visual topic display area on said graphical user interface which is not a chronologically-ordered part of a chat thread for displaying non-textual images with or without text; and vii) enabling at least one of said participants to select visual content to be interactively displayed in said visual topic display area in association with a selected chat topic thread whereby said visual content is persistently displayed to said participants taking part in said selected chat topic thread within said visual display area in association with said selected chat topic thread notwithstanding the addition of message content to said selected chat topic thread until said selected visual content is removed or changed, and enabling each said participant to interact with visual content selected by each other participant.
