Patent number: 10984000Abstract: A system may pre-fetch search result information in anticipation of a user request for the search result information. The system may receive a user search query and request initial search results from a server based on the search query. The system may receive the initial search results from the server and render the initial search results for display to the user. In anticipation of a user request for additional search results, the system may request additional search results from the server. The additional search results may then be pre-fetched for potential display to the user in response to a user request to render the additional search results.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2018Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Tania Bedrax-Weiss, Bay-Wei Chang

Patent number: 10706060Abstract: Systems and methods for storing a plurality of conversations are provided. Each such conversation has a corresponding conversation identifier and one or more messages sharing a common set of characteristics that meet predefined criteria. Information is sent to a remote computer identifying the conversations and providing sufficient information to rank them in accordance with a date/time value of a most recently received message of each conversation thereby causing a first conversation to be ordered before a second conversation. Subsequently, a first message that is deemed to belong to the second conversation is obtained and added to the second conversation. Information is resent to a remote computer identifying the plurality of conversations and providing sufficient information to rank the plurality of conversations in accordance with a date/time value of a most recently received message of each respective conversation thereby causing the first conversation to be ordered after the second conversation.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Paul T. Buchheit, Lauren M. Baptist, Bay-Wei W. Chang, Seth J. Golub, Jing Yee Lim, Sanjeev Singh, Russell R. Tuck, III

Patent number: 10284506Abstract: A method and system for processing messages is disclosed that includes receiving a plurality of messages directed to a user, where each message has a unique message identifier. Each of the plurality of messages may be associated with a respective conversation, where each conversation has a respective conversation identifier. Also, each conversation includes a set of one or more messages sharing a common set of characteristics that meet a first predefined criteria. A list of conversations is displayed as a set of rows in an order determined by a second predefined criteria, where each row corresponds to one of the listed conversations and includes at least a sender list, a conversation topic and a date/time value. The contents of a conversation is displayed when the user selects a conversation from the displayed list of conversations. Messages can be displayed in one of three modes: expanded, compacted and hidden.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Paul T.
