First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving communication data from one or more communication sources, the communication data comprising a first piece of communication data comprising a first data item and one or more second data items, the first data item being received after at least one of the one or more second data items;
aggregating the first data item and the one or more second data items associated with the first piece of communication data;
determining that the one or more second data items are less important than the first data item;
based on the determining, compressing the one or more second data items associated with the first piece of communication data into a compressed item; and
presenting, simultaneously, in an integrated communication interface, the first data item of the first piece of communication data and the compressed one or more second data items as a first timeline item.

Abstract
Described is a technology by which an interactive timeline user interface shows communication data aggregated from various sources (e.g., a telephone service, a website, an application and/or the like) in time order. To reduce the number of items in the timeline, certain items may be combined into a compressed item, e.g., items from the same source and/or of the same type may be rolled up into a rolled up item. The user may also interact to reply to a data item. For example, an editor may be provided upon interaction with a data item in the timeline, and the type of reply that is sent may automatically match the type of data item, (e.g., a text message reply to a text message).

10. In a computing environment, a system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a timeline program instructing the one or more processors to; receive communication data from one or more communication sources, the communication data comprising a first piece of communication data comprising a first data item and one or more second data items, the first data item being received after at least one of the one or more second data items; aggregate the first data item and the one or more second data items associated with the first piece of communication data; determine that the one or more second data items are less important than the first data item; based on the determining, compress the one or more second data items associated with the first piece of communication data into a compressed item; and present, simultaneously, in an integrated communication interface, the first data item of the first piece of communication data and the compressed one or more second data items as a first timeline item. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. One or more computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving communication data from one or more communication sources, the communication data comprising a first piece of communication data comprising a first data item and one or more second data items, the first data item being received after at least one of the one or more second data items; aggregating the first data item and the one or more second data items associated with the first piece of communication data; determining that the one or more second data items are less important than the first data item; based on the determining, compressing the one or more second data items associated with the first piece of communication data into a compressed item; and presenting, simultaneously, in an integrated communication interface, the first data item of the first piece of communication data and the compressed one or more second data items as a first timeline item. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
