Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for detecting control commands and present display notifications. In one embodiment, the method includes displaying a user interface for a message application, wherein the user interface is displayed to include a display window configured for graphical representation of received and transmitted messages for a communication session with an active contact, and a contact display element configured for presentation of one or more contact graphical elements. The method also includes detecting, by the device, a message from a second contact and updating, by the device, presentation of the user interface, wherein a contact graphical element associated with the second contact and associated with the contact display element is displayed including a graphical element identifying a number of unread messages received from the second contact.

Claims

1. A method for device operation to detect control commands and present display notifications, the method comprising:

displaying, by a device, a user interface for a message application, wherein the user interface is displayed to include

a display window configured for graphical representation of received and transmitted messages for a communication session with an active contact, and

a contact display element configured for presentation of one or more contact graphical elements;

detecting, by the device, a message from a second contact; and

updating, by the device, presentation of the user interface, wherein a contact graphical element associated with the second contact and associated with the contact display element is displayed including a graphical element identifying a number of unread messages received from the second contact.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the display window is configured to include graphical representation of at least one of image and text associated with a messaging session.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact display element includes a plurality of contacts, wherein each contact is displayed with an image and a graphical element identifying a number of unread messages.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the contact display element is updated by the controller based on at least one of receiving a message and order that communication sessions were initiated.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein messages are detected by a controller of the device configured according to a mobile device communication protocol.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein updating presentation of the user interface includes changing the number of unread messages for a contact in the contact display element.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein updating presentation of the user interface includes presenting a drop down text display from the contact display element including a preview of content associated with the message from the second contact.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising detecting selection of the contact display element and presenting a conversation window based on the selection.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising decoding the received message and updating presentation order of the contact display element.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising updating the content display element to present data associated with network content.

12. The device of claim 1, wherein the display window is configured to include graphical representation of at least one of image and text associated with a messaging session.

13. The device of claim 1, wherein the contact display element includes a plurality of contacts, wherein each contact is displayed with an image and a graphical element identifying a number of unread messages.

14. The device of claim 1, wherein the contact display element is updated by the controller based on at least one of receiving a message and order that communication sessions were initiated.

15. The device of claim 1, wherein messages are detected by a controller of the device configured according to a mobile device communication protocol.

16. The device of claim 1, wherein updating presentation of the user interface includes changing the number of unread messages for a contact in the contact display element.

17. The device of claim 1, wherein updating presentation of the user interface includes presenting a drop down text display from the contact display element including a preview of content associated with the message from the second contact.

18. The device of claim 1, further comprising detecting selection of the contact display element and presenting a conversation window based on the selection.

19. The device of claim 1, further comprising decoding the received message and updating presentation order of the contact display element.

20. The device of claim 1, further comprising updating the content display element to present data associated with network content.

11. A device comprising:

a display; and

a controller coupled to the display, the controller configured to

display a user interface for a message application, wherein the user interface is displayed to include

a display window configured for graphical representation of received and transmitted messages for a communication session with an active contact, and

a contact display element configured for presentation of one or more contact graphical elements;

detect a message from a second contact; and

update presentation of the user interface, wherein a contact graphical element associated with the second contact and associated with the contact display element is displayed including a graphical element identifying a number of unread messages received from the second contact.
