Abstract

Systems and methods for enabling communications via tablature for an application are disclosed. A system may include at least one processor configured to generate a table containing cells for holding values and enable association of a communications rule with a specific cell of the table, wherein the communications rule includes a trigger that automatically activates when a specific value in the specific cell meets a criterion. The processor may trigger the communications rule when the specific value in the specific cell meets the criterion, and communicate, upon triggering of the communications rule, a message relating to the specific value in the specific cell meeting the criterion.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for enabling communications via tablature for an application, the system comprising:
at least one processor configured to:
generate a board containing cells for holding values;
display a graphical user interface upon a selection of a specific cell in the board, wherein the graphical user interface includes a link associating a communications rule with the board, wherein the communications rule is configured to allow for at least one of automation or integration of tools within a collaborative environment;
receive input of a specific value in the specific cell;
in response to the received input, determine whether the specific value in the specific cell matches a criterion, wherein the at least one processor is configured to compare the specific value in the specific cell to the criterion continuously, periodically, or after a precursor condition is met;
enable association of the communications rule with the specific cell of the board, wherein the communications rule is linked to the specific cell and the communications rule further includes a trigger that automatically activates when the specific value in the specific cell matches the criterion;
trigger the communications rule when the specific value in the specific cell matches the criterion, wherein the communications rule is configured to determine a message type of the message;
push, based on the determined message type, and upon triggering of the communications rule, a message relating to the specific value in the specific cell matching the criterion;
create a display change including synced data from the message; and
integrate the board with the display change in the collaborative environment to reflect that the criterion of the communications rule is met.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the message includes a notice that the specific value matches the criterion.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the determined message type includes at least one of a text message, email message, video message, or voice message.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the message includes the specific value.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the message transmits the specific value to a separate application for use in a calculation by the separate application.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the triggering of the communications rule initiates an accessing of a communications application, and wherein the communicating includes transmitting data relating to the specific value to the communications application for transmission.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the communications application is a third-party application accessed by the communications rule.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the triggering of the communications rule occurs periodically.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the message is configured to trigger transmission of an additional message.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the additional message includes data sent to the board.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the additional message includes data sent to another board.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the criterion includes a permission setting for enabling transmission of the message.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical interface further includes a graphical indicator, the graphical indicator providing consolidated information relating to at least the cells of the board.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the graphical user interface is configured to present the communications rule in a phrasal template, and wherein the method further includes populating word suggestions for the communications rule.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cells of the board are configured to contain both static and dynamic displays of information.

16. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions for an application that when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
generating a board containing cells for holding values;
displaying a graphical user interface upon a selection of a specific cell in the board, wherein the graphical user interface includes a link associating a communications rule, wherein the communications rule is configured to allow for at least one of automation or integration of tools within a collaborative environment;
receiving input of a specific value in the specific cell;
in response to the received input, determining whether the specific value in the specific cell matches a criterion, wherein the at least one processor is configured to compare the specific value in the specific cell to the criterion continuously, periodically, or after a precursor condition is met;
enabling association of the communications rule with the specific cell of the board, wherein the communications rule is linked to the specific cell and the communications rule further includes a trigger that automatically activates when the specific value in the specific cell matches the criterion;
triggering the communications rule when the specific value in the specific cell matches the criterion, wherein the communications rule is configured to determine a message type of the message;
pushing, based on the determined message type, and upon triggering of the communications rule, a message relating to the specific value in the specific cell matching the criterion;
creating a display change including synced data from the message; and
integrating the board with the display change in the collaborative environment to reflect that the criterion of the communications rule is met.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the triggering of the communication rule initiates an accessing of a communications application, and wherein the communicating includes transmitting data relating to the specific value to the communications application for transmission.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the communications application is a third-party application accessed by the communications rule.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the message is configured to trigger transmission of an additional message.

20. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the additional message includes data sent to the board.

21. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the additional message includes data sent to another board.

22. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the criterion includes a permission setting set by the user for enabling transmission of the message.

23. A method for enabling communications via tablature for an application, the method comprising:
generating a board containing cells for holding values;
displaying a graphical user interface upon a selection of a specific cell in the board, wherein the graphical user interface includes a link associating a communications rule, wherein the communications rule is configured to allow for at least one of automation or integration of tools within a collaborative environment;
receiving input of a specific value in the specific cell;
in response to the received input, determining whether the specific value in the specific cell matches a criterion, wherein the at least one processor is configured to compare the specific value in the specific cell to the criterion continuously, periodically, or after a precursor condition is met;
