Patent number: 11144733Abstract: Task-oriented messages are presented to a user in an interactive format for disposition. Natural language processing techniques parse task-oriented messages for individual tasks, such as assignments, information requests, and requests for approval or authorization. A user interface provides a recipient of a task-oriented message with selectable tasks for individual, or group, disposition, such as respond, defer, delegate, mark answered, and ignore. Recipients are notified if an incomplete response is generated, such as when an identified task is not dispositioned.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jonathan F. Brunn, Jonathan T. Coffey, Mark A. DuFresne, Marit L. Imsdahl, Christopher D. Johnson, Asima Silva, James J. Stadtmiller, Razeyah Stephen, Yuriy B. Veytsman

Patent number: 9219809Abstract: A system for auto-sorting of lists based on most frequent component access or partner collaboration. The elements in the lists may represent collaboration partners (e.g. instant messaging contacts), and/or collaboration components such as Web addresses, events, collaborative documents, activity objects, and/or desktop applications. The system monitors component accesses and/or partner collaborations over a configurable time period to determine the frequency of collaborations with specific collaboration partners, and/or the frequency of accesses to collaboration components. The disclosed system then determines a set of collaboration partners and/or components that are most frequently collaborated with and/or accessed, and moves the list elements representing those collaboration partners and/or components into a top-located sub-list within a list of elements representing a larger number of collaboration partners and/or components in a user interface provided to a local user.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2012Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Angelo Lynn, Latoya Sankey, Ebubechukwu I. Okafor, Doris L. Jones, Chenita D. Daughtry, Razeyah Stephen, Daniel B. Kehn

Patent number: 7697551Abstract: A system for converting instant messaging (IM) text to telephone speech and back. The system includes a first electronic device configured to transmit and receive IM text. A translation module is housed inside the first electronic device. The translation module is configured to perform (i) translate the outgoing IM text into speech, and (ii) translate incoming speech into IM text. The system further includes a second electronic device communicatively coupled by way of a network to the first electronic device such that the second electronic device may receive the IM text as translated speech from the first electronic device via a call.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2006Date of Patent: April 13, 2010Assignee: Nuance Communications, Inc.Inventors: Razeyah Stephen, Mary Ellen Zurko

Patent number: 7523412Abstract: A pop-up window is generated when the user clicks on the slider within the scroll bar display object. The pop-up window displays information from one or more categories in a currently selected list entry, including the category on which the list is currently sorted. As the user moves the slider, the information in the pop-window is updated to reflect the current location in the list, as determined by the current location of slider within the scroll bar. When the user stops scrolling, i.e. releases the scroll slider, the matching entry for the current location becomes highlighted, and the system enters a search mode. In the search mode, the disclosed system continues to display the pop-up window for a few seconds to allow the user the option of editing the text in the pop-up (as derived from the current position in the list) in order to go to another entry in the sorted list.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2006Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Doris L.

Publication number: 20080046514Abstract: A system and method that allows electronic collaboration events to be co-chaired, thus eliminating restricted process access or bottlenecks and therefore providing a more efficient electronic collaboration event is provided. The method includes identifying a plurality of peer level chairperson positions for the electronic event and identifying at least one chairperson corresponding to each of the of peer level chairperson positions. The method also includes assigning each of the plurality of peer level chairperson positions make change authority; save change authority; send change authority; and view history authority.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2006Publication date: February 21, 2008Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Chenita D.

Publication number: 20060168069Abstract: The present invention allows complex messaging configurations (e.g., server clusters) and messaging activities to be simulated in a single test. A server cluster having two or more mail servers is provided. Each server in the cluster is assigned one or more mail databases that are also replicated to the other servers in the cluster. Thus, each server has a copy of every mail database. Mail clients are then assigned to specific mail servers (e.g., 50% of the mail clients are assigned to mail server “1,” 50% of the mail clients are assigned to mail server “2”). The present invention will drive a messaging workload against the servers (in a single test) that will simulate the type of messaging activity that is typically experienced when the servers are in actual use within an organization or business.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 21, 2005Publication date: July 27, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Razeyah Stephen, Richard Buck, George Demetriou, Michael Gagnon, Russell Holden, Harry Murray, Andrew Nolet, James Powers, Nirmala Venkatraman
