Value-based presentation of user-selectable computing actions
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for proposing actions to a user to select based on the value of the actions to the user, the method comprising:
- receiving content selected by a user from a device;
identifying a plurality of actions to be executed that are associated with a referent entity identified from the selected content, wherein each action has an associated value to the user and wherein the associated value for at least two of the plurality of actions is a function of an estimated average amount of time it takes a user to manually perform each of the at least two actions; and
providing, for display, an identifier of each of at least a subset of the actions based on their associated values.

Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for proposing actions to a user to select based on the value of the actions to the user are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving content selected by a user from a device, and identifying a plurality of actions to be executed that are associated with a referent entity identified from the selected content, wherein each action has an associated value to the user. The method also includes providing, for display, an identifier of each of at least a subset of the actions based on their associated values. Systems and machine-readable storage media are also provided.

1. A computer-implemented method for proposing actions to a user to select based on the value of the actions to the user, the method comprising:
-
receiving content selected by a user from a device; identifying a plurality of actions to be executed that are associated with a referent entity identified from the selected content, wherein each action has an associated value to the user and wherein the associated value for at least two of the plurality of actions is a function of an estimated average amount of time it takes a user to manually perform each of the at least two actions; and providing, for display, an identifier of each of at least a subset of the actions based on their associated values. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A system for proposing actions to a user to select based on the value of the actions to the user, the system comprising:
-
a memory comprising user-selectable content; and a processor configured to; receive content selected by a user from a device; identify a plurality of actions to be executed that are associated with a referent entity identified from the selected content, wherein each action has an associated value to the user and wherein the associated value for at least two of the plurality of actions is a function of an estimated average amount of time it takes a user to manually perform each of the at least two actions; and provide, for display, an identifier of each of at least a subset of the actions based on their associated values. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising machine-readable instructions for causing a processor to execute a method for proposing actions to a user to select based on the value of the actions to the user, the method comprising:
-
receiving content selected by a user from a device; identifying a plurality of actions to be executed that are associated with a referent entity identified from the selected content, wherein each action has an associated value to the user that is a function of an estimated average amount of time it takes a user to manually perform the action; and providing, for display, in a list format at least one of a text or image that identifies each of at least a subset of the actions, wherein the text or image for each action in the list is displayed in decreasing order of the associated value for the action.
