Systems and methods for displaying unseen labels in a clustering in-box environment
Systems and methods for displaying electronic messages are disclosed. In one aspect, a method is performed at a computing device. The method includes: (1) receiving a plurality of electronic messages; (2) assigning a first subset of the messages to a predefined group category based on a set of content-based clustering rules and content in respective bodies of the messages; (3) concurrently displaying a second subset of the messages and a cluster graphic corresponding to the predefined group category, where the cluster graphic includes a label that describes the predefined group category; (4) while concurrently displaying the second subset of electronic messages and the cluster graphic, receiving user selection of the cluster graphic; and (5) in response, displaying a plurality of messages in the predefined group category, including displaying at least one message from the first subset of messages.
1. A method comprising:
automatically bundling, by one or more processors according to a message category, a subset of electronic messages into a cluster object that is associated with one or more clustering rules;
selecting, by the one or more processors, a display state of the cluster object, the display state including at least a subset of body text of a particular electronic message of the cluster object and labeled by a keyword abbreviation corresponding to the message category associated with the cluster object; and
generating and displaying on a display device, a graphical interface for an electronic messaging application including the cluster object in the selected display state.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: in response to received input associated with the cluster object, causing a status change to all of the electronic messages in the cluster object.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cluster object is displayable in the graphical interface according to a time of receipt of a most recent electronic message of the cluster object.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein generating the graphical interface includes providing a cluster graphic corresponding to the message category in addition to the subset of body text.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message category is a promotional category.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message category is a social category.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cluster object is associated with one or more clustering rules.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the one or more clustering rules includes a content-based clustering rule that is independent of relatedness between one or more messages in a set of electronic messages.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the display state of the cluster object is based on one or more display rules including at least one user-specified rule or at least one system-provided rule.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the display state of the cluster object is performed according to a confidence level associated with the message category.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising toggling the display state of the cluster object between multiple display states in response to identifying selection of a user interface object of the graphical interface.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user interface object identified as selected is the cluster object.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein selecting the display state of the cluster object is performed based on an evaluation of a given electronic message against one or more object display rules.
14. A computing device, comprising one or more processors configured to:
automatically bundle, according to a message category, a subset of electronic messages into a cluster object that is associated with one or more clustering rules;
select a display state of the cluster object, the display state including at least a subset of body text of a particular electronic message of the cluster object and labeled by a keyword abbreviation corresponding to the message category associated with the cluster object; and
generate and display on a display device, a graphical interface for an electronic messaging application including the cluster object in the selected display state.
15. The computing device of claim 14 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to, in response to received input associated with the cluster object, cause a status change to all of the electronic messages in the cluster object.
16. The computing device of claim 14 , wherein the cluster object is displayable in the graphical interface according to a time of receipt of a most recent electronic message of the cluster object.
17. The computing device of claim 14 , wherein generation of the graphical interface includes providing a cluster graphic corresponding to the message category in addition to the subset of body text.
18. The computing device of claim 14 , wherein the cluster object is associated with one or more clustering rules.
19. The computing device of claim 18 , wherein the one or more clustering rules includes a content-based clustering rule that is independent of relatedness between one or more messages in a set of electronic messages.
20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method of configuring messages for display to a user, the method comprising:
automatically bundling, according to a message category, a subset of electronic messages into a cluster object that is associated with one or more clustering rules;
selecting a display state of the cluster object, the display state including at least a subset of body text of a particular electronic message of the cluster object; and
labeled by a keyword abbreviation corresponding to the message category associated with the cluster object; and
generating and displaying on a display device, a graphical interface for an electronic messaging application including the cluster object in the selected display state.
