Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes providing, by a server system, to a user, an interactive dashboard for creating an animated icon, receiving, by the server system, through the interactive dashboard, customization information for creating the animated icon from the user, generating, by the server system, the animated icon based on the received customization information, and causing, by the server system, one or more computing devices to display the generated animated icon on a display screen of the one or more computing devices.

Abstract: An example method includes receiving, at a mobile device, one or more user selections by a user of the mobile device, where each user selection indicates a respective type of data item to be presented on the mobile device. The method also includes receiving, at the mobile device, one or more data items. The method also includes identifying data items that are associated with the types of data items to be presented on the mobile device, and responsive to identifying data items that are associated with the types of data items to be presented on the mobile device, presenting, on the mobile device, a dynamic icon to present the identified data items.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling an animated icon displayed on a display screen of a user device includes: providing, by at least one processor, an animated icon on the display screen of the user device to illustrate a notification content, determining, by the at least one processor, a number of times that the user has selected the animated icon on the display screen, and in response: performing, by the at least one processor, an action based on the number of times that the user has selected the animated icon.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a dynamically animated icon on a display screen of a user device are included in the disclosure. The display screen includes a plurality of static icons. The method includes receiving, by a server system, dynamic content from a service provider, generating, by the server system, a dynamically animated icon that illustrates the dynamic content received from the service provider, and causing, by the server system, the user device to display the dynamically animated icon on the display screen, the dynamically animated icon overlaying one or more of the plurality of static icons.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for providing an animated icon on a user interface of a user device includes: receiving from a user of the user device, an indication that the user is interested in receiving notification content through an icon displayed on the user interface, in which the icon is associated with a service provider, transmitting the indication that the user is interested in receiving the notification content to a server system, receiving an icon animation from the server system that illustrates a notification content item that the user is interested in, the notification content item being related to the service provider, and animating the icon to display the notification content item on the user interface based on the received icon animation.
