G06Q 10/10

Abstract:

Interest based navigation of communications is provided. In some examples, an application, such as a communication application, receives a communication from a source. The communication is parsed to identify an interest and a participant account associated with the communication. The communication application assigns the communication to an interest container associated with the interest and to an account container associated with the participant account. Furthermore, the communications are presented in the interest container and in the account container within a navigation user interface (UI).

International Classification:

H04L 12/58
G06F 3/0488
G06F 3/0486
G06F 3/0482

Abstract:

Technologies are generally described for providing a system to facilitate efficient management and prioritization of conversations, such as emails, in a communication application. Conversations may be prioritized according to user preferences, and an inbox may be rearranged to display important conversations in a user defined order. Conversations may also be associated together so that they may appear together and flow together in the inbox. Additionally, the system may enable a user to delay display of a conversation until a later time based on various criteria such as location, time, and client device. A user may also move important emails to the top of an inbox for prominent display. The system may perform the actions automatically based on observed user behavior. Furthermore, the system may enable touch interactions for interacting with and managing the conversations, and quick controls may be provided for executing commands to perform actions associated with the conversations.

US Classification:

715752

Abstract:

Technologies are generally described for providing a system for visualizing items and conversations in a communication application. Conversations are presented as a list of items in the communication application. A quantity of presented items is limited based on a size of a client device employed for viewing the items. Visualizations are applied to the presented items to attempt to maximize a number of items that are presented while providing information about the items to enable a user to preview content and take actions on the items. The visualizations include different templates applied to each item based on a type of item and content associated with the item, and the templates may be are dynamically updated based on user interactions with the items. The templates for items are determined by applying a set of rules and factors to each item to determine a most appropriate visualization for each item.

International Classification:

G06F 3/048

US Classification:

715730

Abstract:

The description relates to threshold views. One example can include a display, storage and a processor. The storage can store instructions for execution by the processor. The processor can be configured to process the instructions to create a graphical user interface (GUI) on the display. The GUI can include a threshold view that shows elements that relate to a family on a given day. The elements can include time bound elements, semi-time bound elements and non-time bound elements.
