Abstract
A system including a direct message sending engine (DMSE) and a method for directly sending messages with minimal user input are provided. When a user invokes an input interface proximal to an input message field (IMF) of a user application, the DMSE renders a list of preconfigured messages on the input interface. When the user performs a selection action on at least one of the preconfigured messages on the input interface, the DMSE receives the selection action and in response, the DMSE transforms properties of the IMF, commits the preconfigured message(s) to the IMF, and simultaneously and directly sends the preconfigured message(s) to a recipient device. On committing the preconfigured message(s) to the IMF, the DMSE simultaneously executes a programmatic simulation of an action key press, thereby directly sending the preconfigured message(s) to the recipient device free of a manual user input.
