US 2018/0006973 A1 · MESSAGE GROUPING AND RELEVANCE

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing grouped data of interest. In some configurations, a computing device can include a user interface with one or more groups configured to receive messages. The groups can be computer-defined groups, such as by the computing device or other system, or user-defined groups. Techniques and technologies described herein receive a message in the one or more groups, and determine a message relevance (e.g., utility) based on the content and/or context (e.g., time of day, sender, geo-location of recipient, message urgency, etc.) of the message. In some configurations, the message relevance can be based, at least in part, on the particular group or a cluster of groups to which the message is associated.

Dependent claims

A system comprising:

a processor;
and
a computer-readable medium storing instructions for a message relevance framework, for actuation by the processor, the message relevance framework comprising:
a grouping module including instructions to configure the processor to generate a cluster of groups;
a user preference module including instructions to configure the processor to receive a parameter related to the cluster of groups;
a utility function module including instructions to configure the processor to:
generate a utility function for the cluster of groups based at least in part on the parameter;
receive a message;
and
calculate a utility of the message based at least in part on the utility function;
and
a display module including instructions to configure the processor to:
cause a presentation of an indication of the message on a display of a consumer device based at least in part on the utility.
