Abstract

Technologies are generally described for a data management scheme. In some examples, a method may include displaying, by a client device, a representation of a data item received from a server; transmitting, by the client device, to the server, a request to access the data item and information regarding the request to access, in response to a user input; updating, by the server, the representation of the data item to further include the information regarding the request to access; and displaying, by the client device, the updated representation of the data item received from the server.

Claims (33)

1. A method, comprising:

generating, by a computing device associated with a user account, a list of data items that is to be displayed on the computing device, wherein the list of data items is based on data associated with the data items, and wherein the list of data items comprises title information of each of the data items, an indication of whether the each of the data items has been previously accessed by the user account, device information regarding at least one device associated with the user account that previously accessed the each of the data items, and location information regarding a location at which the at least one device previously accessed the each of the data items;

sending, by the computing device to a server, a request to access one of the data items and information regarding the request to access, wherein the information regarding the request to access includes device information regarding the computing device requesting access to the one of the data items and location information regarding a location at which the computing device is requesting access to the one of the data items;

receiving, by the computing device from the server, the requested access to the one of the data items and updated data that includes the device information regarding the computing device and that includes the location information regarding the location at which the computing device is requesting access to the one of the data items; and

generating, by the computing device, an updated list of data items based on the received updated data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the each of the data items includes an electronic mail, a post in a social networking service (SNS), or a news article.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the computing device includes a mobile device or a personal computer.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the list of data items further comprises sender information regarding a source of the each of the data items, and wherein the sender information includes a sender of the electronic mail, an author of the post of the SNS, a publisher of the news article, or a journalist of the news article.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the title information includes a title, a header, or a subject line of the each of the data items.

6. The method of claim 2 , wherein the title information includes a subject line of the electronic mail, a subject line of the post in the SNS, introductory words of the post in the SNS, or a portion of a headline for the news article.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location information of the computing device includes an address, an office, a home, a subway, or a bus.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the device information regarding the computing device includes at least one of a name, a type, a screen size, a display resolution of the computing device, or information regarding a network to which the computing device is communicatively connected when the request to access is sent.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the location information of the computing device includes at least one of information regarding a registered location that is specific to a user of the computing device, a global positioning system (GPS) coordinate of the computing device, information regarding a cellular network to which the computing device is communicatively connected, information regarding a Wi-Fi access point to which the computing device is communicatively connected, or information regarding communication between the computing device and at least one beacon when the request to access is sent.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the server is hosted by an electronic mail service provider, a social networking service (SNS) provider, or an online content provider.

11. A computing device associated with a user account, the computing device comprising:

generate a list of data items that is to be displayed, wherein the list of data items is based on data associated with the data items and wherein the list of data items comprises title information of each of the data items, an indication of whether the each of the data items has been previously accessed by the user account, device information regarding at least one device associated with the user account that previously accessed the each of the data items, and location information regarding a location at which the at least one device previously accessed the each of the data items;

send, to a server, a request to access one of the data items and information regarding the request to access, wherein the information regarding the request to access includes device information regarding the computing device that requests access to the one of the data items and location information regarding a location at which the computing device requests access to the one of the data items;

receive, from the server, the requested access to the one of the data items and updated data that includes the device information regarding the computing device and that includes the location information regarding the location at which the computing device requests access to the one of the data items; and

generate, by the computing device, an updated list of data items based on the received updated data.

12. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the each of the data items includes an electronic mail, a post in a social networking service (SNS), or a news article.

13. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the computing device includes a mobile device or a personal computer.

14. The computing device of claim 12 , wherein the list of data items further comprises sender information regarding a source of the each of the data items, and wherein the sender information includes a sender of the electronic mail, an author of the post in the SNS, a publisher of the news article, or a journalist of the news article.

15. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the title information includes a title, a header, or a subject line of the each of the data items.

16. The computing device of claim 12 , wherein the title information includes a subject line of the electronic mail, a subject line of the post in the SNS, introductory words of the post in the SNS, or a portion of a headline for the news article.

17. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the device information regarding the computing device includes at least one of a name, a type, a screen size, a display resolution of the computing device, or information regarding a network to which the computing device is communicatively connected when the request to access is sent.

18. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the location information of the computing device includes at least one of information regarding a registered location that is specific to a user of the computing device, a global positioning system (GPS) coordinate of the computing device, information regarding a cellular network to which the computing device is communicatively connected, information regarding a Wi-Fi access point to which the computing device is communicatively connected, or information regarding communication between the computing device and at least one beacon when the request to access is sent.

19. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the server is hosted by an electronic mail service provider, a social networking service (SNS) provider, or an online content provider.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a processor to perform or control performance of operations that comprise:
