Abstract:

An electronic mail (email) system generates an email user interface display, with a timeslot actuator, for composing an email message. Actuation of the timeslot actuator is detected and the email system accesses available timeslots from a calendar system corresponding to the user. User selectable display elements, corresponding to each available timeslot, are displayed on the email user interface display, along with message content. When a user selectable display element corresponding to an available timeslot is selected, the email message content is populated with a selectable timeslot element, corresponding to the available timeslot, that can be sent to recipients in the email message.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/10

Abstract:

A time aggregation and control system detects when an automated scheduling assistant is invoked to perform a scheduling operation. It detects scheduling characteristics corresponding to the scheduling operation and identifies a time saving value corresponding to the scheduling operation. The time saving value is aggregated over a plurality of different scheduling operations until a time block trigger is detected. A scheduling control signal is generated, to automatically reserve a block of time, based upon the aggregated time saving values.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0482
H04L 29/08
H04L 12/58

Abstract:

Variety of approaches to provide document feature management in relation to a communication are described. A productivity application initiates operations to present a communication through a productivity application user interface (UI). The communication includes an attachment file. Upon receiving a modification for the attachment file, the attachment file is renamed based on the modification. An instruction is also transmitted to a data store associated with the communication to rename the attachment file based on the modification. Alternatively, in response a request to create a cloud hosted file, the cloud hosted file is created as related to the communication. A property of the cloud hosted file is also configured based on a property of the communication. The cloud hosted file is furthermore associated with a group associated with the communication.

International Classification:

G06Q 10/10
G06F 17/30
G06N 99/00

Abstract:

A scheduling system suitable for tracking and visually indicating impact of events on free time is provided. The scheduling system receives a request associated with an event. In response, the scheduling system accesses, from a data storage, user data structure for a user associated with the event, whereby the user data structure indicates scheduling information for the user including free time of the user. The scheduling system determines an impact on the free time of the user based on the user attending the event. The scheduling system then generates a user interface that includes a visual indication of the impact of attending the event on the free time of the user and causes presentation of the user interface on a client device of the user.

Abstract:

Linked content is identified in a first electronic message, the linked content corresponding to a portion of a source document. A second electronic message that is associated with the first electronic message is received and includes a version of the linked content. A user interface is generated that represents the second electronic message and includes a version selection user input mechanism that is actuatable to select the version of the linked content in the second electronic message. Based on user actuation of the version selection user input mechanism, the version of the linked content in the second electronic message is selected and automatically incorporated into the source document.
