Patent ID: 10153996

Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide a Threaded Conversation User Interface (“TCUI”) on a display area of a computer used to connect a social network. The TCUI comprises a plurality of nested columns. First, second, and third nested columns of the plurality of nested columns includes first, second, and third comments, respectively. The first nested column is positioned at a left margin of the display area, the second nested column is indented a single indentation width from the display area's left margin, and the third nested column is indented multiple indentation widths from the display area's left margin. A type of input gesture is determined from a received input gesture and in response, the TCUI is scrolled. The scrolling is terminated with at least one of second, third, or another nested column positioned at the left edge of the display area, the termination being based at least on the determined input gesture.
