Client proxying for instant messaging

摘要

Systems for saving and retrieving forwarded instant messages comprise a primary IM processing device configured to forward incoming instant messages to an available secondary IM processing device and a storage device accessible to the primary IM storage device. The storage device is configured to capture each instant message sent and received. The primary IM processing device is further configured to retrieve the captured instant messages and to display a transcript of instant messages sent and received on a display device coupled to the primary IM processing device upon de-forwarding of instant messages. Other systems and methods are also provided.
