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: 9063989Abstract: A method and system for processing messages includes receiving a plurality of messages directed to a user. Each of the plurality of messages is associated with a respective conversation and list of conversations is displayed in an order determined in accordance with second predefined criteria, as a set of rows, 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. A user is enabled to identify one or more conversations in the list of conversations, to mark the identified conversations as belonging to a particular category, and to display another list of conversations comprising conversations marked as belonging to the particular category. A user may cause a conversation to be removed from certain displays, but to become visible again after the passage of a certain amount of time or the occurrence of an event.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2013Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Paul T.

Patent number: 8583747Abstract: A method system for labeling messages of conversations, where each conversation has a respective conversation identifier and comprises one or more messages sharing a common set of characteristics. A selected conversation has a plurality of messages associated with a first label. In response to an action specifying a second label to be associated with the selected conversation, the second label is associated with the messages of the selected conversation, such that the plurality of messages are each associated with both the first and second labels. An index entry for the second label is modified to account for the association of the second label with the messages. In some embodiments, a set of predetermined conditions is associated with the conversation; the first label is removed from the plurality of messages and is prevented from being automatically associated with newly received messages of the conversation until the predetermined conditions are satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2009Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Paul T.
