Systems and methods for a graceful push handling user interface

Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for the graceful removal of push feeds from a mobile electronic device. A server or the mobile electronic device may remove the push feeds automatically, without any instruction from the user, after the expiration of a predetermined amount of time.

1 . A method for the graceful handling of push feeds in a mobile electronic device comprising:
 sending a push feed to a mobile electronic device;   waiting a predetermined amount of time; and   instructing the mobile electronic device to delete the push feed.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising sending a new push feed to the mobile electronic device. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising identifying the push feed as new to the user. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the push feeds comprises a channel. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising providing notification to the user as to when the push feed will be deleted. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4  wherein the notification comprises altering the graphical look of the push feed. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 4  wherein the notification comprises applying a timestamp to the new push feed. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1  wherein the predetermined amount of time is selected from the group consisting of thirty seconds, sixty seconds, five minutes and sixty minutes. 
     
     
         9 . A method for the graceful handling of push feeds in a mobile electronic device comprising:
 receiving a push feed;   displaying the push feed; and   after a predetermined amount of time deleting the feed.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein the predetermined amount of time is included with the push feed as received. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising receiving a new push feed. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising identifying the push feed as new to the user. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 9  further comprising providing notification to the user as to when the push feed will be deleted. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the notification comprises altering the graphical look of the push feed. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 13  wherein the notification comprises applying a timestamp to the new push feed. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 9  wherein the predetermined amount of time is selected from the group consisting of thirty seconds, sixty seconds, five minutes and sixty minutes. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 9  wherein a clock internal to the mobile electronic device determines the predetermined amount of time. 
     
     
         18 . A system for the graceful handling of push feeds in a mobile electronic device comprising:
 a server for transmitting data comprising a first CPU and a first interface; and   a mobile electronic device comprising a second CPU and a display, wherein the mobile electronic device is configured to
 receive a push feed; 
 display a push feed; and 
 after a predetermined amount of time, delete the push feed. 
   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18  wherein the push feed is originally generated and transmitted by the server. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the predetermined amount of time is included with the push feed as received. 
     
     
         21 . A system for the graceful handling of push feeds in a mobile electronic device comprising:
 a server for transmitting data comprising first CPU and a first interface; and   a mobile electronic device comprising a second CPU and a display for receiving data from the server, wherein the server is configured to
 send a push feed; 
 wait a predetermined amount of time; and 
 instruct the mobile electronic device to delete the push feed.
