Controlling an Integrated Messaging System Using Gestures
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- displaying messages received using a visualization scheme selected from a set of visualization schemes;
detecting a gesture by a user; and
mapping the gesture to an action, wherein the mapping is dependent upon the selected visualization scheme and wherein the action comprises one of a user interaction with a message and selection of a visualization scheme.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus for displaying and interacting with messages are described. Messages are displayed using one of a number of different visualization schemes provided. A user can interact with messages or change the selected visualization scheme using gestures and the mapping of gestures to particular actions is different for different visualization schemes. In an embodiment the messages are received via integrated messaging channels and messages are classified using a number of properties. Each of the visualization schemes has a different way of graphically representing messages and each scheme is adapted to emphasize a different combination of message properties.
