MESSAGING SYSTEM WITH DISCARD USER INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18665345 titled 'MESSAGING SYSTEM WITH DISCARD USER INTERFACE
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for displaying a user interface, where a preview of a message is shown on a screen, a discard motion is received, a discard instruction is displayed with varying opacity based on the range of the discard motion, a minimum motion threshold is reached, and the message is discarded.
- The method involves displaying a preview of a message on a screen.
- It includes receiving a discard motion from the user.
- A discard instruction is displayed with varying opacity, increasing in proportion to the range of the discard motion.
- The method reaches a minimum motion threshold to ensure the discard action is intentional.
- Finally, the message is discarded based on the user's motion.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in messaging applications to provide a quick and intuitive way for users to discard messages they no longer wish to view. - It can also be applied in email clients to streamline the process of managing emails and reducing clutter in the inbox.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the user interface by introducing a gesture-based method for discarding messages. - Helps users quickly and efficiently manage their messages without the need for complex interactions.
Benefits: - Enhances user experience by providing a more intuitive way to discard messages. - Increases efficiency in message management tasks. - Reduces cognitive load on users by simplifying the discard process.
Commercial Applications: "Gesture-Based Message Discard Technology in Messaging Applications"
Questions about Gesture-Based Message Discard Technology: 1. How does this technology improve user experience in messaging applications? 2. What are the potential challenges in implementing gesture-based message discard features in different types of user interfaces?
Original Abstract Submitted
A computer-implemented method of displaying a user interface comprises: displaying a preview of a message on a screen; receiving a discard motion; displaying a discard instruction with varying opacity during the receiving, the opacity increasing in proportion to a range of the discard motion; reaching a minimum motion threshold; and discarding the message.
