Publication number: 20170235437Abstract: A method for dynamically presenting highlighted and flagged icons of messages processed on an electronic device is provided. The method comprises: establishing a triggering system of received messages for initiate refreshment of a layout of the icons displayed on a display in the device. After detecting the received messages, creating a ranking of the messages processed by the device utilizing activity logs providing their recent levels of activity. Then the device identifies the most frequently processed messages from the ranking and automatically highlights and flags the message folder and messages refreshing the layout of icons to highlight an icon associated with the most frequently processed messages. The wireless device is required to incorporate modules to perform the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2016Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Jario Q. Aguilar, Yessenia D. Panuco

Publication number: 20170235441Abstract: Systems and methods for sequencing electronic files include generating a first file sequence and one or more alternative file sequences. An alternative file sequence may be generated based in part on a characteristic of a file in the first sequence. The first and alternative sequences may be used in an electronic slideshow that allows a user to switch between file sequences. In some implementations, which alternative file sequences are generated may be determined based in part on a prediction of characteristics that may be of interest to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2017Publication date: August 17, 2017Applicant: Google Inc.Inventor: Robert Brett Rose
