Abstract
A computing device displays a call history graphical user interface (GUI). The call history GUI includes a new list and an old list. The new list may include new missed call elements and missed call elements associated with new unopened voicemails. The old list may include other call history GUI elements, such as old missed call elements and missed call elements associated with opened voicemails.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a computing device, that a plurality of missed calls have been received by the computing device, each missed call from the plurality of missed calls being an incoming call for which user input to accept the incoming call was not received;
- determining, by the computing device, that a first subset of the plurality of missed calls is more likely to be of interest to a user of the computing device than a second subset of the plurality of missed calls, wherein a criterion other than a chronological order of the plurality of missed calls is used for determining that the first subset of the plurality of missed calls is more likely to be of interest to the user of the computing device than the second subset of the plurality of missed calls;
- and
- outputting, by the computing device, a user interface for display at a display device, wherein the user interface concurrently includes a first region and a second region, the first region being separate and visually distinct from the second region, the first region comprising a first list of graphical user interface (GUI) elements, the second region comprising a second list of GUI elements, wherein the GUI elements of the first list correspond to missed calls in the first subset and the GUI elements of the second list correspond to missed calls in the second subset.

A computing device comprising one or more processors configured to:
- determine that a plurality of missed calls have been received by the computing device, each missed call from the plurality of missed calls being an incoming call for which user input to accept the incoming call was not received;
- determine that a first subset of the plurality of missed calls is more likely to be of interest to a user of the computing device than a second subset of the plurality of missed calls, wherein a criterion other than a chronological order of the plurality of missed calls is used for determining that the first subset of the plurality of missed calls is more likely to be of interest to the user of the computing device than the second subset of the plurality of missed calls;
- and
- output a user interface for display at a display device, wherein the user interface concurrently includes a first region and a second region, the first region being separate and visually-distinct from the second region, the first region comprising a first list of graphical user interface (GUI) elements, the second region comprising a second list of GUI elements, wherein the GUI elements of the first list correspond to missed calls in the first subset and the GUI elements of the second list correspond to missed calls in the second subset.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- determine that a plurality of missed calls have been received by the computing device, each missed call from the plurality of missed calls being an incoming call for which user input to accept the incoming call was not received;
- determine that a first subset of the plurality of missed calls is more likely to be of interest to a user of the computing device than a second subset of the plurality of missed calls, wherein a criterion other than a chronological order of the plurality of missed calls is used for determining that the first subset of the plurality of missed calls is more likely to be of interest to the user of the computing device than the second subset of the plurality of missed calls;
- and
- output a user interface for display at a display device, wherein the user interface concurrently includes a first region and a second region, the first region being separate and visually-distinct from the second region, the first region comprising a first list of graphical user interface (GUI) elements, the second region comprising a second list of GUI elements, wherein the GUI elements of the first list correspond to missed calls in the first subset and the GUI elements of the second list correspond to missed calls in the second subset.
