  • Patent number: 9654432
    Abstract: Systems and methods for clustering electronic messages are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes, at a computing device, responsive to a determination that a message body of a first electronic message satisfies a set of content-based clustering rules associated with a first message cluster, assigning the electronic message to the message cluster. A cluster graphic is displayed for the message cluster. The cluster graphic is characterized by (a) a first state in which messages in the message cluster are individually depicted and (b) a second state, which replaces the first state upon user input and collectively represents a plurality of messages in the message cluster. Each message in the message cluster is either (i) addressed at least to a first recipient or (ii) originates from the first recipient.

  • Patent number: 9152307
    Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying electronic messages are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes, at a computing device, displaying a user interface for a messaging application, comprising an electronic message list. The message list comprises a plurality of objects. Each respective object in the plurality of objects is visually distinct in the message list and represents one or more corresponding electronic messages. The method includes detecting user selection of an object in the message list and in response to detecting user selection of the object, toggling display of the first object from a first state to a second state. The method includes moving a first subset of objects vertically upward, where the first subset of objects comprises one or more objects above the selected object, and moving a second subset of objects vertically downward, where the second subset of objects comprises one or more objects below the selected object.

  • Patent number: 8949283
    Abstract: Systems and methods for clustering electronic messages are disclosed. In some implementations, a method includes, at a computing device, analyzing content of a first incoming electronic message against a first set of content-based clustering rules associated with a first message cluster, without regard to content relatedness between the first incoming message and any messages previously assigned to the first message cluster. In some implementations, the method further includes, responsive to a determination that the first incoming electronic message satisfies the first set of content-based clustering rules: assigning the first incoming electronic message to the first message cluster, and formatting for display, in an electronic message folder, electronic messages in the first message cluster as a first single cluster graphic.
