Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for analyzing the recorded interactions of users within a shared dataspace, where the shared dataspace is provided by an a synced online content management system. As each user adds and deletes files in the shared dataspace, the content management system can record each interaction. The content management system can then analyze the recorded interactions, creating collapsed summaries of the interactions, and generate notifications that can be presented to users. Various thresholds can be used to determine when the recorded interactions are condensed, and when notifications associated with those condensed interactions are presented to users.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- generating, by a processor, a plurality of event markers each being associated with an activity involving a content item stored in a shared dataspace and containing at least two items of information;
- creating, by a processor, a collapsed event marker associated with at least two of the plurality of event markers based on at least one commonality between the at least two items of information;
- and
- presenting, by a processor, the collapsed event marker to the user.
A computer-readable storage medium having processor-executable instructions stored therein for causing a processor to:
- generate a plurality of event markers each being associated with an activity involving a content item stored in a shared dataspace and containing at least two items of information;
- create a collapsed event marker associated with at least two of the plurality of event markers based on at least one commonality between the at least two items of information;
- and
- present the collapsed event marker to the user.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium having processor-executable instructions stored therein for causing a processor to:

- create a collapsed event marker associated with at least two of the plurality of event markers based on at least one commonality between the at least two items of information;
- and
- present the collapsed event marker to the user.
