Publication number: 20160065517Abstract: Filtering rules for incoming messages can be dynamically generated by a message management service based on patterns in the user's behavior. The message management service can analyze event records associating user actions with features of messages to detect correlations between message features and resulting actions, including correlations across multiple messaging accounts belonging to the same user. Based on correlations, the message management service can provide a suggested rule to the user's client device, and the user can accept or decline the suggestion.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2015Publication date: March 3, 2016Inventors: Sean Beausoleil, Jack Dubie, George Milton Underwood, IV, Adam Cue, Anthony DeVincenzi, Michael Roeder

Publication number: 20160050177Abstract: Techniques are described for managing drafts of an electronic document (e.g., an electronic note, an electronic message, an electronic calendar invitation, and/or other types of electronic documents) between client devices. Such an electronic document can be composed using different clients, such that composing the document can be continued using different clients. A draft of an electronic document can be stored by clients and/or the message management service as a metadata. A message management service can be implemented as an intermediary computing system to manage a current version of a draft in local storage when a draft is composed using a client device. The message management service can manage version information of a draft that is exists, if any, on each of the client devices. The message management service can synchronize a draft of the message with client devices when a draft is composed using a client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2014Publication date: February 18, 2016Inventors: Adam Cue, Tim Van Damme, George Milton Underwood, IV, Sean Beausoleil, Belinda Preno, Steven Kabbes, David Barshow, Anthony DeVincenzi

Patent number: 9253133Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying threads of related messages. A computer can associate messages with threads by storing a thread identifier (thread ID) identifying a thread and associating the thread ID with a message identifier (message ID) of each known message that belongs to the thread. The computer can inspect a message to determine whether the message identifies a reference message. Before assigning a thread ID to the message or a reference message, the computer can determine whether a message ID for either message is stored in association with a thread ID. If a thread ID is stored for a message ID of either message, the computer can assign the thread ID to message IDs of other reference messages. If a thread ID is not stored for a message ID of either message or is different for either message, store a common thread ID in association with both messages.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: DROPBOX, INC.Inventors: Jack Dubie, Michael Roeder, Steven Kabbes, Sean Beausoleil

Publication number: 20150256504Abstract: A message management service that acts as intermediary between a messaging service and a client device can generate a synchronization data bundle for a message that includes an external message identifier usable to retrieve the message from the messaging service. The message management service can send the synchronization data bundle to the client along with the message, and the client can store the synchronization data bundle for each message in its local data store. The client can later return the synchronization data bundle to the message management service, which can use information contained therein to facilitate synchronization and related operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2014Publication date: September 10, 2015Applicant: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Sean Beausoleil, Steven Kabbes, Michael Roeder

Publication number: 20150199440Abstract: A message management service can enable a client to search and retrieve of messages from one or more messaging services. The message management service can stage delivery of results to the client to reduce response time for identification of messages satisfying a query. Initially, the message management service can send information descriptive of results, which the client can display. The message management service can send subsequent responses including supplemental information associated with a result and/or actual messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2014Publication date: July 16, 2015Applicant: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Michael Roeder, Sean Beausoleil, Veronica Zheng

Publication number: 20150153935Abstract: A reservation system associated with an app installed on a user device can be used to regulate access to network-based features of a primary software service offered by the app. Network-based features can include providing access to online content items. Regulating access to these features can prevent overloading the backend service components that provide the network-based features. Growing the user base in a controlled fashion can benefit the user experience. A waitlist with a countdown can be used for users that have installed the app, but who are not yet allowed access to the network-based features of the primary software service. A user interface can display a reservation status (e.g., how many people are in front of the user in line, how many people are behind the user in line, and the like). This can increase user anticipation of the app features and reduce user attrition.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2013Publication date: June 4, 2015Applicant: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: George Milton Underwood, IV, Scott Cannon, Sean Beausoleil, Adam Cue, Darian Edwards, Steven Flory, Elizabeth Armistead, Elle Luna, Josh Elman

Publication number: 20150032829Abstract: Message management services can include processing an email to identify relevant content from among all content in the email and converting the identified relevant content into a simple, easy-to-read format. For example, message management services can apply multiple parsing strategies to an email. Each strategy can attempt to parse the email to identify relevant content and to output results that include any identified relevant content and an associated confidence score. The results having the highest confidence score can be selected. The identified relevant content included in the selected results can be converted into a flat string with stylings and links for displaying relevant content of the email in a simple, easy-to-read format.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2014Publication date: January 29, 2015Applicant: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: David Barshow, Ringo Law, Kevin Ewe, Sean Beausoleil, Andrew Long, Steven Kabbes, Michael Roeder

Publication number: 20140223347Abstract: A user interface for a messaging client application can include a message list. By executing various input operations on a representation of a message in the message list, the user can take an action on the message. For example, a user operating a pointing device can perform a drag operation on a representation of the message in the message list, and the action to be taken on the message can be indicated by the direction and distance of the drag. Visual feedback can be provided during the drag operation to indicate the action that will be taken if the user ends the drag at the current location.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2014Publication date: August 7, 2014Applicant: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Kijun Seo, Anthony DeVincenzi, George Milton Underwood, IV, Sean Beausoleil, Darian Edwards
