Methods and apparatus for selecting updates to associated records to publish on an information feed using importance weights in an on-demand database service environment
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving one or more updates associated with changes to data of a first field and a second field of a data record, the second field being different from the first field, the one or more updates stored in a database;
applying one or more criteria to the one or more updates;
generating, based on application of the one or more criteria, a numerical importance weight associated with each update including a first importance weight corresponding to the first field change and a second importance weight corresponding to the second field change;
comparing the importance weights with a designated threshold; and
when one or more importance weights are identified as meeting or exceeding the designated threshold, providing the one or more updates associated with the identified one or more importance weights as one or more candidates for publication on an information feed associated with the data record, the information feed capable of being displayed on a display device.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer readable media for selecting updates to associated records to publish on an information feed in an on-demand database service environment. In one embodiment, one or more updates associated with a data record are stored in a database. One or more criteria are applied to the one or more updates to generate an importance weight associated with each update. The one or more importance weights are compared with a designated threshold. When one or more importance weights are identified as meeting or exceeding the designated threshold, the one or more updates associated with the identified one or more importance weights are provided as one or more candidates for publication on an information feed associated with the data record, where the information feed is capable of being displayed on a display device.

11. A system comprising:
-
a database configured to store one or more updates associated with a data record; and a server configured to; apply one or more criteria to the one or more updates to generate an importance weight associated with each update, generate, based on application of the one or more criteria, a numerical importance weight associated with each update including a first importance weight corresponding to a change of data associated with a first field change and a second importance weight corresponding to a change of data associated with a second field change; compare the importance weights with a designated threshold, and when one or more importance weights are identified as meeting or exceeding the designated threshold, provide the one or more updates associated with the identified one or more importance weights as one or more candidates for publication on an information feed associated with the data record, the information feed capable of being displayed on a display device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon, the instructions executable by a processor to:
-
receive one or more updates associated with changes to data of a first field and a second field of a data record, the second field being different from the first field, the one or more updates stored in a database; apply one or more criteria to the one or more updates to generate an importance weight associated with each update; generate, based on application of the one or more criteria, a numerical importance weight associated with each update including a first importance weight corresponding to the first field change and a second importance weight corresponding to the second field change; compare the importance weights with a designated threshold; and when one or more importance weights are identified as meeting or exceeding the designated threshold, provide the one or more updates associated with the identified one or more importance weights as one or more candidates for publication on an information feed associated with the data record, the information feed capable of being displayed on a display device.
