Systems and methods for a card-based user interface for reading thread-based communications on mobile devices

摘要

Systems and methods for implementing a card-based user interface for thread-based communications on mobile devices are described. In some embodiments, in response to activation of an application, a mobile device receives data that represents a set of threaded conversations, where the data includes a representation header for each threaded conversation in the set of threaded conversations. The mobile device then displays a list of the representation headers for the set of threaded conversations. In response to an activation of the representation header corresponding to a particular threaded conversation in the set of the threaded conversations, the mobile device displays in a first expanded card, text associated with a most recent message in the particular threaded conversation, and in a collapsed card, a representation of previously read messages in the particular threaded conversation. Other embodiments are also described.

主权项

1. A method to display threaded communications, comprising:
at a client device having one or more processors that execute one or more programs stored in memory of the client device: receiving data representing a set of threaded conversations in response to activation of an application, the received data including a representation header for each threaded conversation in the set of threaded conversations; displaying a list of the representation headers for the set of threaded conversations; simultaneously displaying in response to activation of a representation header corresponding to a particular threaded conversation in the set of threaded conversations, in a first expanded card, message body text associated with a most recent message in the particular threaded conversation, and in a single collapsed card, a representation of a plurality of previously read messages in the particular threaded conversation.
