User interface methods and systems for selecting and presenting content

A system comprising:

• control circuitry configured to:
• store a hierarchical data structure for a communication system of an organization, wherein the hierarchical data structure comprises a plurality of nodes indicating a plurality of users in the organization, wherein links between nodes of the hierarchical data structure indicate relationships between employee users in the organization, and wherein each node of the plurality of nodes is associated with a relevance weight;
• maintain frequency of user interaction data for the plurality of users in the organization indicated by the plurality of nodes;
• monitor a frequency of user interaction occurring via the communication system between at least some users of the plurality of users;
• based at least in part on the monitored frequency of user interaction, modify the frequency of user interaction data by adjusting one or more of the relevance weights of the plurality of nodes in the hierarchical data structure;
• provide an incremental search interface for searching the plurality of users of the organization;
• input/output circuitry configured to:
• receive, at the communication system via the incremental search interface, one or more characters partially matching data of one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes;
• wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
• based at least in part on receiving the one or more characters via the incremental search interface:
• select a name indicated by a node corresponding to a particular user of the plurality of users in the organization based at least in part on (a) analyzing the hierarchical data structure, and (b) the frequency of user interaction data;
• and
• generate for display a user interface element for contacting the particular user.

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by control circuitry cause the control circuitry to:

• store a hierarchical data structure for a communication system of an organization, wherein the hierarchical data structure comprises a plurality of nodes indicating a plurality of users in the organization, wherein links between nodes of the hierarchical data structure indicate relationships between employee users in the organization, and wherein each node of the plurality of nodes is associated with a relevance weight;
• maintain frequency of user interaction data for the plurality of users in the organization indicated by the plurality of nodes;
• monitor a frequency of user interaction occurring via the communication system between at least some users of the plurality of users;
• based at least in part on the monitored frequency of user interaction, modify the frequency of user interaction data by adjusting one or more of the relevance weights of the plurality of nodes in the hierarchical data structure;
• provide an incremental search interface for searching the plurality of users of the organization;
• receive, at the communication system via the incremental search interface, one or more characters partially matching data of one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes;
• based at least in part on receiving the one or more characters via the incremental search interface:
• select a name indicated by a node corresponding to a particular user of the plurality of users in the organization based at least in part on (a) analyzing the hierarchical data structure, and (b) the frequency of user interaction data;
• and
• generate for display a user interface element for contacting the particular user.
