Interactive preview teasers in communications
First Claim
1. A computing device to provide rich visualization of embedded objects, attachments, and links within emails through teasers, the computing device comprising:
- a memory configured to store instructions; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to execute, in conjunction with the instructions stored in the memory, a communication application, wherein the one or more processors are configured to;
provide a conversation to be displayed on a conversation user interface, the conversation comprising a plurality of email messages;
detect an embedded object within an email message of the plurality of email messages;
analyze the embedded object to determine one or more teaser components, each of the one or more teaser components including a portion of textual or graphical content included in the embedded object;
conducting a search of an external source for additional information associated with the embedded object based on content included in at least one of the one or more teaser components;
construct a teaser including at least one of the one or more teaser components and the additional information; and
provide the teaser to be displayed within a body of the email message or on a dedicated portion of the conversation user interface without requiring a user to open the email message in a separate user interface.

Abstract
Technologies are described for rich visualization of embedded objects, attachments, and links within emails and similar forms of online conversations. In some examples, the embedded objects, attachments, and links may be analyzed and parsed to generate teasers, which may include enhanced images, summary information, and comparable features. The teasers may be presented within a body of an email or in a dedicated area of a conversation user interface and include interactive features such as presentation of detailed information upon selection without opening and processing individual emails.

10. A method executed at least in part in a computing device to provide rich visualization of embedded objects, attachments, and links within emails through teasers, the method comprising:
-
providing a conversation to be displayed on a conversation user interface, the conversation comprising a plurality of email messages; detecting an embedded object within an email message of the plurality of email messages; analyzing the embedded object to determine one or more teaser components, each of the one or more teaser components including a portion of textual or graphical content included in the embedded object; conducting a search of an external source for additional information associated with the embedded object based on content included in at least one of the one or more teaser components; constructing a teaser including at least one of the one or more teaser components and the additional information; providing the email message to be displayed with the teaser; and providing, to be displayed on the conversation user interface, detailed information associated with the embedded object upon selection of the teaser without requiring a user to open the email message in a separate user interface. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A hardware computer readable memory device with instructions stored thereon to provide rich visualization of embedded objects, attachments, and links within communications through teasers, the instructions comprising:
-
providing a conversation to be displayed on a conversation user interface, the conversation comprising a plurality of communications; detecting an embedded object within one or more communication in the conversation; analyzing the embedded object to determine one or more teaser components, each of the one or more teaser components including a portion of textual or graphical content included in the embedded object; conducting a search of an external source for additional information associated with the embedded object based on content included in at least one of the one or more teaser components; constructing a teaser including at least one of the one or more teaser components and the additional information, wherein the teaser is configured to present detailed information associated with the embedded object upon selection without requiring a user to open the communication in a separate user interface; and providing the conversation to be displayed with the teaser displayed within a body of the communication or on a dedicated portion of the conversation user interface. - View Dependent Claims (16)
