Abstract
A trigger event is set, based on information in an information flow. One or more actions are set to occur in response to occurrence of the trigger event. The information flow is received. The set one or more actions are performed upon occurrence of the trigger event, and a user interface is displayed based on the information flow. The actions include, but are not limited to, filtering display of information from the information flow in response to occurrence of the trigger event.

1-23. (canceled)
A method for displaying a user interface, comprising the steps of:
- using at least one processor to:
- associate each one of a plurality of trigger events with one or more modifiable user-defined parameters;
- display, on an output interface, a plurality of trigger event icons each representing one of the plurality of trigger events;
- display, on the output interface, at least one modifying icon;
- receive, via an input interface and via selection of the at least one modifying icon, input that modifies the one or more user-defined parameters associated with a selected one of the trigger event icons;
- display, on the output interface, at least one action icon;
- receive, via the input interface and via selection of the at least one action icon, input that sets one or more actions to be performed upon occurrence of the trigger event associated with the selected one of the trigger event icons, the one or more actions including filtering, based on the selected one of the trigger event icons, one or more of contact information or information from a news feed;
- perform, upon occurrence of a first of the plurality of trigger events, the one or more set actions associated with the first of the plurality of trigger events;
- and
- display, on the output interface and upon occurrence of the first of the plurality of trigger events, contact information and/or information from a news feed filtered according to the first trigger event.
An apparatus for displaying a user interface, the apparatus comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
- associate each one of a plurality of trigger events with one or more modifiable user-defined parameters;
- display, on an output interface, a plurality of trigger event icons each representing one of the plurality of trigger events;
- display, on the output interface, at least one modifying icon;
- receive, via an input interface and via selection of the at least one modifying icon, input that modifies the one or more user-defined parameters associated with a selected one of the trigger event icons;
- display, on the output interface, at least one action icon;
- receive, via the input interface and via selection of the at least one action icon, input that sets one or more actions to be performed upon occurrence of the trigger event associated with the selected one of the trigger event icons, the one or more actions including filtering, based on the selected one of the trigger event icons, one or more of contact information or information from a news feed;
- perform, upon occurrence of a first of the plurality of trigger events, the one or more set actions associated with the first of the plurality of trigger events;
- and
- display, on the output interface and upon occurrence of the first of the plurality of trigger events, contact information and/or information from a news feed filtered according to the first trigger event.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon sequences of instructions, the sequences of instructions including instructions, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- associate each one of a plurality of trigger events with one or more modifiable user-defined parameters;
- display, on an output interface, a plurality of trigger event icons each representing one of the plurality of trigger events;
- display, on the output interface, at least one modifying icon;
- receive, via an input interface and via selection of the at least one modifying icon, input that modifies the one or more user-defined parameters associated with a selected one of the trigger event icons;
- display, on the output interface, at least one action icon;
- receive, via the input interface and via selection of the at least one action icon, input that sets one or more actions to be performed upon occurrence of the trigger event associated with the selected one of the trigger event icons, the one or more actions including filtering, based on the selected one of the trigger event icons, one or more of contact information or information from a news feed;
- perform, upon occurrence of a first of the plurality of trigger events, the one or more set actions associated with the first of the plurality of trigger events;
- and
- display, on the output interface and upon occurrence of the first of the plurality of trigger events, contact information and/or information from a news feed filtered according to the first trigger event.
