International Classification:

H04L 12/58
G06Q 10/10

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software disclosed herein facilitate draft reminders. In at least one implementation, a primary view of an information management application is rendered. In various scenarios the primary view may include primary items, such as emails, events, tasks, or other types of items. When a reminder view is invoked, draft items are identified to include in the reminder view. The reminder view is then rendered in an overlaid manner with respect to the primary view and includes the draft items.

Abstract:

Techniques for providing an in-place contextual menu and user interface for email and other information management system triage are provided in which a contextual menu can be overlaid or replace an item on a view screen. The contextual menu can provide action commands specific to the type and state of the items selected in the feature view of the email or other information management system. A single recognized selection input, such as a swipe gesture, selects an item and invokes an in-place contextual menu presenting actions that can be asserted on the selected item. Multiple item selection is available through the same invocation of presenting the in-place contextual menu.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for implementing enhanced search suggestion technology. In at least one implementation, a personal information application includes a search suggestion element in which both search suggestions and contacts suggestions may be presented. The personal information application includes a search element in a user interface to a personal information service in which a search query may be entered. Search suggestions and contact suggestions can be identified based at least in part on the search query and presented via a suggestion element in the user interface. An indication of interest made with respect to a contact suggestion results in the presentation of contact details for an associated contact. The presentation of at least the search suggestions persists while the contact details of the associated contact are presented.

US Classification:

715771

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software are disclosed herein for facilitating enhanced calendar views. In an implementation, an initial range in a series of calendar units is presented in a calendar view. An initial calendar perspective associated with an initial position established within the initial range is also presented. Responsive to a user input, a navigation effect is presented with respect to the series of calendar units comprising navigating from the initial range to a subsequent range in the series of calendar units. A subsequent perspective associated with a subsequent position established within the subsequent range is then presented
