System and method for managing digests comprising electronic messages
First Claim
1. A system for managing digests comprising electronic messages, comprising:
- a selection criteria module to define a selection criteria that defines message-based content for a digest;
a content module to define properties and characteristics of the content of the digest;
a delivery criteria input module to accept a delivery criteria that specifies periodic sending of the digest to a user upon determining an inbox of the user is at a predetermined size and an activity level of the user satisfies a predetermined threshold;
a construction module to construct the digest as a set of electronic messages, comprising;
a digest management module to monitor a dynamic stream of the electronic messages and to evaluate one or more of the electronic messages by filtering the electronic messages against the selection criteria; and
a digest information module to group only those electronic messages that satisfy the selection criteria into the digest to which the selection criteria corresponds; and
a delivery module to periodically deliver the digest when a threshold count of electronic messages in the user'"'"'s inbox is satisfied; and
a processor to execute each of the modules, which are stored on a computer-readable storage medium.

Abstract
A system and method for managing digests comprising electronic messages is presented. A selection criteria that defines message-based content for a digest is defined. Properties and characteristics of the content of the digest are defined. A delivery criteria that specifies periodic sending of the digest is accepted. The digest is constructed as a set of electronic messages. A dynamic stream of the electronic messages is monitored. One or more of the electronic messages is evaluated by filtering the electronic messages against the selection criteria. Only those electronic messages that satisfy the selection criteria are grouped into the digest to which the selection criteria corresponds. The digest is periodically delivered upon satisfaction of the delivery criteria.
