SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING UNSEEN LABELS IN A CLUSTERING IN-BOX ENVIRONMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18337158 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAYING UNSEEN LABELS IN A CLUSTERING IN-BOX ENVIRONMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for displaying electronic messages on a computing device.
- The method involves receiving multiple electronic messages.
- The messages are then categorized into predefined groups based on their content using clustering rules.
- A subset of the messages and a cluster graphic representing the group category are displayed together.
- The user can select the cluster graphic to view all the messages in that group.
- This allows for easy organization and navigation of messages based on their content.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for displaying electronic messages are disclosed. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computing device. The method includes: (1) receiving a plurality of electronic messages; (2) assigning a first subset of the messages to a predefined group category based on a set of content-based clustering rules and content in respective bodies of the messages; (3) concurrently displaying a second subset of the messages and a cluster graphic corresponding to the predefined group category, where the cluster graphic includes a label that describes the predefined group category; (4) while concurrently displaying the second subset of electronic messages and the cluster graphic, receiving user selection of the cluster graphic; and (5) in response, displaying a plurality of messages in the predefined group category, including displaying at least one message from the first subset of messages.
