Abstract

Systems, methods and computer readable media for prioritized notification display are described. Some implementations can include a method. The method can include receiving a notification, and determining a priority score of the notification. When the notification is determined to have a priority equal to or greater than a given value, the method can also include causing the notification to be displayed individually in a user interface. The method can further include causing the notification to be displayed as a portion of a deck element in the user interface when the notification is determined to have a priority less than the given value.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, at one or more processors, a notification; determining, using the one or more processors, a priority score of the notification; when the notification is determined to have a priority score equal to or greater than a given value, causing, using the one or more processors, the notification to be displayed individually in a user interface; and when the notification is determined to have a priority score less than the given value, causing, using the one or more processors, the notification to be displayed as a portion of a deck element in the user interface.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the priority score of the notification includes determining a source of the notification.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein determining the priority score of the notification includes determining whether a sending account of a message that is a subject of the notification has a social affinity score with a recipient account of the notification above a given social affinity value.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
when the notification has a priority score less than the given value and the notification is a first notification in a current notification list for a corresponding source, creating, using the one or more processors, a new deck element associated with the corresponding source; and adding, using the one or more processors, the notification to the new deck element.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
when the notification has a priority score less than the given value and the notification is not a first notification in a current notification list for a corresponding source, adding, using the one or more processors, the notification to an existing deck element associated with the corresponding source.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the notification is added to a top of the existing deck element.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the notification is added to a bottom of the existing deck element.

8 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing the deck element in the user interface to be displayed as a number of individual notifications in an expanded deck element when an indication is received that the deck element has been selected.

9 . The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
causing all of the individual notifications within the deck element to be displayed when an indication is received that a show all element of the expanded deck element has been selected.

10 . A system comprising one or more computers configured to perform operations including:
receiving a notification; determining a priority score of the notification; when the notification is determined to have a priority score equal to or greater than a given value, causing the notification to be displayed individually in a user interface; and when the notification is determined to have a priority score less than the given value, causing the notification to be displayed as a portion of a deck element in the user interface.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein determining the priority score of the notification determining a source of the notification.

12 . The system of claim 10 , wherein determining the priority score of the notification includes determining whether a sending account of a message that is a subject of the notification has a social affinity score with a recipient account of the notification above a given social affinity score value.

13 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
when the notification is determined to have a priority score less than the given value and the notification is a first notification in a current notification list for a corresponding source, creating a new deck element associated with the corresponding source; and adding the notification to the new deck element.

14 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
when the notification is determined to have a priority score less than the given value and the notification is not a first notification in a current notification list for a corresponding source, adding the notification to an existing deck element associated with the corresponding source.

15 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
causing the deck element in the user interface to be displayed as a number of individual notifications in an expanded deck element when an indication is received that the deck element has been selected; and causing all of the individual notifications within the deck element to be displayed when an indication is received that a show all element of the expanded deck element has been selected.

16 . A nontransitory computer readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
receiving, at one or more processors, a notification; determining, using the one or more processors, a priority score of the notification; when the notification is determined to have a priority score equal to or greater than a given value, causing, using the one or more processors, the notification to be displayed individually in a user interface; and when the notification is determined to have a priority score less than the given value, causing, using the one or more processors, the notification to be displayed as a portion of a deck element in the user interface.

17 . The nontransitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein determining the priority score of the notification includes determining a source of the notification.

18 . The nontransitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein determining the priority score of the notification includes determining whether a sending account of a message that is a subject of the notification has a social affinity with a recipient account of the notification above a given value.

19 . The nontransitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:
when the notification is determined to have a priority less than the given value and the notification is a first notification in a current notification list for a corresponding source, creating a new deck element associated with the corresponding source; and adding the notification to the new deck element.

20 . The nontransitory computer readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the operations further comprise:
when the notification is determined to have a priority less than the given value and the notification is not a first notification in a current notification list for a corresponding source, adding the notification to an existing deck element associated with the corresponding source.
