20180006989 · 2018-01-04 ·

In some implementations, a method includes extracting message attributes of an email associated with a user from the email. User interaction data is identified that is generated by the user in association with display of the email based on sensor data from one or more sensors. It is determined that the user interaction data corresponds to a routine of the user based on a routine-related aspect generated from a user routine model representing the routine. A time to present a notification of the email is determined based on the routine. The notification is provided to the user on a user device based on the determined time to present the notification.

The email system detects a user drag and drop input dragging at least a portion of the message content onto the calendar preview, and automatically generates a calendar event based upon the detected drag and drop input, and the particular portion of the message content dragged onto the context-sensitive calendar preview.

SURFACING ATTACHMENTS IN EMAIL SEARCH SUGGESTION DROPDOWN

Presenting search suggestions within a messaging application that include attachments without searching messages for the attachments is provided. Messages are received at a computer and managed by a messaging application. A query for suggestions is received via the messaging application. The query is performed by the messaging application without querying the messages that have been received through the messaging application. Suggested search results are provided by the messaging application. The suggestions include attachments that were received via a message through the messaging application. In one or more aspects, the suggested search results also provide other attachments that were received by other than the messaging application.

20180006973 · 2018-01-04 ·

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for providing grouped data of interest. In some configurations, a computing device can include a user interface with one or more groups configured to receive messages. The groups can be computer-defined groups, such as by the computing device or other system, or user-defined groups. Techniques and technologies described herein receive a message in the one or more groups, and determine a message relevance (e.g., utility) based on the content and/or context (e.g., time of day, sender, geo-location of recipient, message urgency, etc.) of the message. In some configurations, the message relevance can be based, at least in part, on the particular group or a cluster of groups to which the message is associated.

EXPOSING TASK INFORMATION TO ONLINE SERVICE PROVIDERS

Task information is exposed to providers of online services. A dataset that includes one or more electronic messages is received. Then, one or more task intents in the dataset are identified, where each of the identified task intents is a specific task that is to be completed. Then, for each of the identified task intents, one or more service providers each of whom offers one or more online services that are capable of assisting in the fulfillment of the identified task intent are identified, and information associated with the identified task intent is exposed to each of the identified service providers.
