Real-time chat message preview enabling to view the message during the writing process

摘要

A system and method for communicating messages over a communication channel is disclosed wherein a user content that would ultimately make a user message is generated by a first user at a first application or widget and sent to a chat server for subsequent sending to a second user for viewing via the second user's application or widget. The refresh frequency of the user content between the first user and the server is at every up to 500 milliseconds while the send rate between the server and the second widget is at or after at least 500 milliseconds. Accordingly, the second user is able to preview the first user's message before the first user's message is ultimately written and manually sent to the second user by the first user. The second user is here able to preview the user content at up to 500 millisecond refresh rates, thereby giving the second user a real-time preview into what is being generated by the first user.
