Assignee:

Slack Technologies, LLC - San Francisco CA

International Classification:

G06F 3/0484
H04L 12/58

Abstract:

The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for reacting to a message in a communication platform. An exemplary method implemented at least in part by a user computing device of a user associated with a communication platform comprises: displaying the message in a message area; identifying, based on the message, one or more reactive emojis; displaying one or more graphical representations of the one or more reactive emojis; receiving, from a user, an input selecting a graphical representation of the one or more reactive graphical representations; in response to receiving the input, displaying a reaction to the message in a reaction area; and displaying a response input area for inputting a response to the message.

International Classification:

H04N 21/458
H04N 21/472
H04N 21/45
H04N 21/442

Abstract:

Updating object subscriptions based on trigger events is described. An indication of a trigger event, associated with an object, can be received from a client of a user. The object can be associated with current object data that is stored in a storage area of a subscription management system. The storage area can maintain the current object data for at least the object and a subscription list for client(s), wherein the subscription list for each of the client(s) comprises object identifiers corresponding to subscribed objects for each of the client(s). Based at least partly on receiving the indication of the trigger event and determining that the trigger event is associated with a modification to a subscription, the subscription list can be updated to generate an updated subscription list for the client and current object data for the subscribed objects identified within the updated subscription list can be provided thereto.

Inventors:

- San Francisco CA, US
Mark Christian - Oakland CA, US

International Classification:

G06F 16/28
H04L 29/08
G06F 16/23

Abstract:

To reduce the amount of data traffic flowing between a remote computing platform and a client device, a manager for a data store of the client device is configured to observe upserts to the data store for one or more objects for a current connection session reflected therein; track fresh objects of a plurality of objects stored within the local data store, wherein fresh objects are identified as having an upsert during the current connection session; observe gets from the data store for one or more objects of the plurality of objects, and upon detecting a get for a particular object, determining whether the particular object is fresh, and if the object is detected to be stale, initiate an upsert from the remote computing platform to the data store for the particular object.

International Classification:

H04N 21/2543
H04N 21/45
H04N 21/472
H04N 21/422

Abstract:

Subscriptions for object updates to be transmitted to a client device may be dynamically managed based on the occurrence of one or more trigger events at the client device, which causes the client device to transmit subscription modification requests to a computing platform configured to dynamically maintain object subscription lists for each of one or more client devices based at least in part on subscription modification requests received from each of the one or more client devices, to determine whether subscribed objects for a particular client device are current at the client device, and to transmit updates of subscribed objects in real-time upon determining that the particular client device does not comprise current object data.
