MESSAGING SYSTEM WITH DISCARD USER INTERFACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240305595 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, and the message is discarded once a minimum motion threshold is reached.
- 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 sets a minimum motion threshold that needs to be reached.
- The message is discarded once the minimum motion threshold is met.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in messaging apps to improve user experience by providing a more intuitive way to discard messages. - It can be used in email clients to streamline the process of discarding emails.
Problems Solved: - Simplifies the process of discarding messages or emails on a user interface. - Enhances user interaction by providing a visual cue for discarding actions.
Benefits: - Improves user experience by making it easier and more intuitive to discard messages. - Streamlines the process of managing messages or emails on a screen.
Commercial Applications: "Enhancing User Experience in Messaging Apps with Intuitive Discard Motion Technology"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the varying opacity of the discard instruction enhance user interaction? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for email management applications?
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.
