This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17828901 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING SCORES FOR MESSAGES BASED ON ACTIONS OF MESSAGE RECIPIENTS AND A NETWORK GRAPH

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes an email ranking system that assigns scores to emails based on actions taken by other recipients of the emails. - The system considers the closeness of the recipient's connection to the user and the type of connection when weighting their actions. - Each email is given a score that represents the likelihood of it containing important content for the user. - A client device can display the user's emails in descending order based on the scores, allowing the user to prioritize important emails. - The email ranking system aims to improve the client device by helping the user quickly identify important emails.


Original Abstract Submitted

An email ranking system assigns scores to emails of a user based on actions that other recipients of the emails have taken with respect to the emails. In determining the scores, the email ranking system may weight each recipient's action based on how closely connected the recipient is to the user and a type of connection the recipient has to the user. Each email's score may represent a likelihood that the email contains content that is important to the user. A client device may display the user's emails based on the scores. The client device may list the emails in descending order based on the scores, enabling the user to prioritize review of emails that are more likely to be important to the user. In this way, the email ranking system improves the client device by helping the user more quickly identify important emails.
