Abstract: A relay service (220) can relay messages between controllers (202) and electronically controllable accessory devices (204) that may be located remotely from the controllers. Relaying of messages by the relay service can be decoupled from any knowledge of the functionality of the accessory or the content of the messages. Device identification and relaying of messages can be managed using "relay aliases" that are meaningful only to the relay service and the endpoint devices (the controller and accessory). The endpoint devices can implement end-to-end security for messages transported by the relay service. Controllers and accessory devices are paired and access tokens are established via the relay service. The access tokens are used for subsequent authentication of messages between controllers and accessory devices.

Abstract translation: 中继服务（220）可以在可能远离控制器的控制器（202）和电子可控附件设备（204）之间中继消息。 中继服务的消息中继可以与附件功能或消息内容的任何知识分离。 可以使用仅对中继服务和端点设备（控制器和附件）有意义的“中继别名”来管理消息的设备标识和中继。 端点设备可以实现由中继服务传输的消息的端到端安全性。 控制器和附件设备配对，通过中继服务建立访问令牌。 访问令牌用于后续的控制器和附件设备之间的消息验证。

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to messaging user interfaces. In some embodiments, at an electronic device having one or more processors, memory, and a display, a messaging session between a user of the electronic device and a business entity is initiated via a messaging user interface. A task affordance is displayed in a conversation transcript of the messaging user interface. An interaction to select the task affordance is detected. A task is initiated in response to detecting the interaction to select the task affordance.

Abstract: A messaging system, in one embodiment, can establish messaging accounts for a plurality of organizations (e.g., businesses) to allow customers or users of the organizations to conduct two-way messaging sessions between a customer and an organization. The messaging system can use a registration portal to allow an organization to set up a business/organization messaging account by providing account information. The account information can then be used to update one or more searchable databases that allow a customer to have multiple entry points into a messaging session with each of the registered businesses in the messaging system. For example, a search through a web browser or a map application can provide search results that contain or otherwise provide access to a selectable messaging option that is presented on a customer's device.

Abstract: A relay service can relay messages between controllers and electronically controllable accessory devices that may be located remotely from the controllers. Relaying of messages by the relay service can be decoupled from any knowledge of the functionality of the accessory or the content of the messages. Device identification and relaying of messages can be managed using "relay aliases" that are meaningful only to the relay service and the endpoint devices (the controller and accessory). The endpoint devices can implement end-to-end security for messages transported by the relay service. A new controller can be enabled to control one or more accessories controlled by a first admin controller via the relay service by adding a relay pairing for the new controller.
