  • Patent number: 10776432
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a system, a method and a program storage device which enable to add selectivity to content sharing between users of communication networks. When a sender indicates a desire to share content, information with respect to the suggested content item (i.e. the content item intended to be shared) and information with respect to the sharing profile of one or more respective target recipients is analyzed. A recommendation is provided as whether or not it is suggested to the sender to perform an action. For example, the recommendation can be indicative as to whether or not it is recommended to share a given content item with a given recipient.

  • Patent number: 10075408
    Abstract: A method of managing a multi participant messaging session among session participants. The method comprises detecting electronic mails and instant messaging (IM) messages exchanged among session participants participating during a multi participant messaging session, accessing a repository that manages for each of the session participants a user preference profile defining a preferred messaging protocol selected from an email protocol and an IM protocol, identifying, using the repository, first and second groups of the session participants, each member of the first group has an email protocol as the preferred messaging protocol and each member of the second group has an IM protocol as the preferred messaging protocol, formatting the electronic mails such that email content thereof is sent according to the email protocol to each member of the first group, and forwarding the email content for distribution according to the IM protocol for each member of the second group.

  • Patent number: 9883043
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a system and method for managing interactions between two or more users. In response to a request of a caller to establish an interaction with one or more recipients, the preferences of the caller and the recipients are considered in a process which determines which interaction application is recommended to be used in the requested interaction. A user can be associated with a respective user profile which includes information with respect to the user's communication preferences. The recommendation is generated based on preferences of the users participating in the interaction. In case a conflict is identified between the preferences of different users which are about to participate in the interaction, an arbitration process is executed in which the conflict is resolved.

  • Patent number: 9749284
    Abstract: Systems and method for controlled pre-interaction are disclosed. The method of performing controlled pre-interaction includes: providing at least one private interaction address, defining at least one manageable public interaction address, forming a record of manageable public interaction address associated with the private interaction address. The method of performing controlled pre-interaction further includes: generating a reverse list, wherein an interaction address of a participant is associated at least with the manageable public interaction address, and performing at least one pre-interaction act. A pre-interaction act includes: accessing the reverse list, identifying the interaction address of the participant in the reverse list, and determining that the manageable public interaction address is associated, at the reverse list, with the interaction address of the participant.
