Spam filtering using scroll detection as a signal
In some embodiments, techniques for electronic messaging may include presenting a message; monitoring an action, wherein the action is associated with scrolling the message; and determining a classification for the message, wherein determining the classification includes evaluating the action.
1. A method, comprising:
presenting a message;
monitoring an action, wherein the action is associated with scrolling the message; and
determining a classification for the message, wherein determining the classification includes evaluating the action.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message is an email.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the classification is associated with spam.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the message includes delaying display of message contents for a delay period, and wherein determining the classification for the message includes determining whether the message is deleted during the delay period.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the classification for the message further includes determining an amount of time that the message is viewed.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the classification for the message includes determining whether substantially all of the message was displayed.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining a classification for the message includes providing information to a spam filter, wherein the information is associated with the action.
8. A system, comprising:
a processor configured to:
present a message;
monitor an action, wherein the action is associated with scrolling the message; and
determine a classification for the message, wherein determining the classification includes evaluating the action; and
a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory provides instructions to the processor.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the message is an email.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the classification is associated with spam.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein presenting the message includes delaying display of message contents for a delay period, and wherein determining the classification for the message includes determining whether the message is deleted during the delay period.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining the classification for the message further includes determining an amount of time that the message is viewed.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining the classification for the message includes determining whether substantially all of the message was displayed.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein determining a classification for the message includes providing information to a spam filter, wherein the information is associated with the action.
15. A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:
presenting a message;
monitoring an action, wherein the action is associated with scrolling the message; and
determining a classification for the message, wherein determining the classification includes evaluating the action.
16. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the message is an email.
17. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein the classification is associated with spam.
18. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein presenting the message includes delaying display of message contents for a delay period, and wherein determining the classification for the message includes determining whether the message is deleted during the delay period.
19. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein determining the classification for the message further includes determining an amount of time that the message is viewed.
20. The computer program product of claim 15 , wherein determining the classification for the message includes determining whether substantially all of the message was displayed.
