  • Patent number: 11895073
    Abstract: A method of postponing an electronic message is performed at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The memory stores one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors. The device displays a first electronic message for a user of the computing device and receives user input to postpone the first electronic message. In response to the user input, the device displays a plurality of postponement locations in a user interface window and receives user selection of a postponement location from the displayed plurality of postponement locations. The device then inhibits display of the first electronic message at the computing device. When it is subsequently determined that the computing device is at the first postponement location, the device redisplays the first electronic message.

  • Patent number: 11556231
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus related to determining a ranking of class members of a task component class. A task component class identifier may be identified, the task component class identifier having a plurality of associated class members. One or more task completion indicators having the identified at least one task component class identifier may be determined. Each of the task completion indicators may indicate which of the associated class members was utilized to complete a task. One or more of the associated class members for the task component class identifier may be ranked. The ranking may be based on frequency of occurrence of the given associated class member in the task completion indicators.

  • Patent number: 11546282
    Abstract: A system and method for postponing an electronic message displayed for a user of a computing device. Postponement options are displayed for the user. Display of the electronic message at the computing device is inhibited based on received user input. One option enables a user to repeat the most recently selected postponement option. Another option postpones the electronic message until the computing device is at a user-designated location. Some postponement options are generated according to context of the electronic message, such as the content of the electronic message, the date or time when the user requested the postponement, or prior history of user-selected postponements. Some options are based on a sampling of postponement options selected by a plurality of users.

  • Patent number: 10645046
    Abstract: A method postpones an electronic message displayed for a user of a computing device. The user provides input to postpone the electronic message. Postponement options are displayed for the user. The user selects one of the options. Display of the message at the computing device is inhibited accordingly. One option enables a user to repeat the most recently selected postponement option. Another option postpones the message until the computing device is at a user-designated location. Another option inhibits display of the message at the computing device, but enables display of the message at another user-specified second computing device. Some postponement options are generated according to context of the electronic message, such as the content of the electronic message, the date or time when the user requested the postponement, or prior history of user-selected postponements. Some options are based on a sampling of postponement options selected by a plurality of users.
