Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes providing, by a server system, to a user, an interactive dashboard for creating an animated icon, receiving, by the server system, through the interactive dashboard, customization information for creating the animated icon from the user, generating, by the server system, the animated icon based on the received customization information, and causing, by the server system, one or more computing devices to display the generated animated icon on a display screen of the one or more computing devices.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for providing an animated icon, the method comprising:

providing, by a server system, to a user, an interactive dashboard for creating an animated icon;

receiving, by the server system, through the interactive dashboard, customization information for creating the animated icon from the user, wherein the customization information includes;

notification content that the animated icon illustrates, the notification content being associated with a campaign,

an indication of a subset of an audience to whom the notification content is to be displayed,

an indication of a future time at which the notification content is to be displayed to the subset of the audience, and

an indication of a future expiration time after which display of the notification to the subset of the audience is to be discontinued;

generating, by the server system, the animated icon based on the received customization information; and

causing, by the server system, one or more computing devices associated with the subset of the audience to display the generated animated icon and the notification content on one or more home screen interfaces of the one or more computing devices according to the customization information, each home screen interface being operable to display a plurality of additional icons in conjunction with the animated icon, each additional icon indicating a different respective application on a respective computing device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the customization information further comprises:

an indication of a rate of repetition for displaying the notification content to the subset of the audience.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the customization information further comprises:

an indication of period of time, wherein upon an application associated with the animated icon not being opened by a particular member of the subset of the audience during the period of time, the notification content is to be displayed to the member of the subset of the audience after the period of time.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the customization information further comprises:

an indication of maximum number of times within a specified time frame that the notification content is to be displayed to the member of the subset of the audience.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication of the subset of the audience comprises a specified age group for members of the subset of the audience.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication of the subset of the audience comprises a specified gender for members of the subset of the audience.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the indication of the audience comprises a specified location for members of the subset of the audience.
