1. A system, comprising:
- a non-transitory memory to store executable instructions; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the executable instructions to perform operations, comprising;
receiving selection data that updates a first parent object to a second parent object in a parent tumbler of a hierarchical presentation via a user interface for tumbler representation;
in response to the receiving and based on metadata associated with a first child object that is displayed in a child tumbler of the hierarchical presentation as a function of a selection of the first parent object, determining a second child object that is to be displayed in the child tumbler;
facilitating, via the user interface, an alignment of the second parent object and the second child object along a vertical axis or a horizontal axis; and
in response to determining whether information representing a relationship between the second parent object and the second child object satisfies a validity criterion, facilitating a transmission of data related to the second child object from a first communication device to a second communication device via a text message,wherein the second child object is different from the first child object.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices employing tumbler-style graphical user interfaces (TSGUI) are presented. TSGUI can facilitate high context rapid selection of content objects from at least a plurality of tumbler components. Selection of content objects can relate to a path for a memory to access a related final information. TSGUI can be employed in mobile computing devices, including telephonic mobile computing devices. In an embodiment a TSGUI of a mobile device can facilitate access to content in relation to messaging applications native to the mobile device.

13. A method, comprising:
-
in response to receiving first selection data that selects a first parent object in a parent tumbler of a hierarchical tumbler presentation of a user interface, facilitating, by a system comprising a processing device, a display of a first set of child objects in a child tumbler of the hierarchical tumbler presentation; in response to receiving second selection data that selects a second parent object in the parent tumbler, determining, by the system, a second set of child objects that are to be displayed in the child tumbler, wherein the determining the second set of child objects comprises determining the second set of child objects based on metadata associated with a child object of the first set of child objects, and wherein the second set of child objects is not a subset of the first set of child objects; facilitating, by the system via the user interface, an alignment of the second parent object and the second child object with respect to a vertical axis or a horizontal axis; and in response to determining whether information representing a relationship between the second parent object and the second set of child objects satisfies a validity criterion, facilitating, by the system, a transmission of text data related to the second set of child objects from a first communication device to a second communication device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 18, 19)

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor, to perform operations, comprising:
-
in response to determining that a first parent object in a parent tumbler of a hierarchical tumbler presentation presented via a user interface has been selected, determining a first set of child objects that are to be displayed in a child tumbler of the hierarchical tumbler presentation; subsequent to the determining the first set of child objects and in response to determining that a second parent object in the parent tumbler has been selected, determining a second set of child objects that are to be displayed in the child tumbler based on metadata associated with a subset of the first set of child objects, wherein the second set of child objects does not comprise the subset of the first set of child objects; facilitating, via the user interface, an alignment of the second parent object and a second child object of the second set of child objects with respect to a vertical axis or a horizontal axis; and in response to determining whether information representing a relationship between the second parent object and the second child object satisfies a validity criterion, initiating a transmission of a text message related to the second child object from a first communication device to a second communication device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 20, 21)
