Real-time notification system for online collaboration platform
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11973609B2) outlines a method for notifying recipient collaborators of activities within an online collaboration platform. The method involves selecting a recipient collaborator based on specific criteria related to the workspace where the activity occurred. The notification is then sent to the recipient collaborator and presented through a user interface on their device over a network. The order of notifications is determined based on the user's activity in the workspace, with the system automatically adjusting the amount of information displayed based on device characteristics or network availability.
Furthermore, the patent details a system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium that implement the method described above. The system includes a processor and memory storing instructions for notifying recipient collaborators of activities in the online collaboration platform. The criteria for selecting the recipient collaborator can be based on permissions, roles, or the enterprise association of the workspace. The notifications can be presented in a user interface based on various factors, including user activity, relevancy, and configurable rules. Overall, the patent aims to enhance the notification process within online collaboration platforms by providing a method that considers workspace dynamics, user behavior, and device characteristics for an optimized notification experience.
