Abstract: A user's interactions with an application may be recalled for a user upon the user's return to an application. Interactions including a point of gaze and input interactions by a user within an application may be recorded. A user may become distracted, no longer interacting with the application, and this can be detected. In response, a segment of the recorded interactions can be saved. This segment can determined based on a time period prior to the detection that the user is distracted. When the user's interaction returns to the application, this can be detected, and the saved segment of interactions can be replayed to the user.

Abstract: A method for detecting a conflict may include detecting a reference to a date and time in a communication. The method may also include determining a participation of the user in a prospective event associated with the date and time based on the context of the communication. The method may additionally include comparing the date and time associated with the prospective event to a date and time of previously scheduled events in a calendar system to detect any conflict. The method may also include detecting a conflict between the prospective event and a previously scheduled event in response to the date and time associated with the prospective event at least partially corresponding to the date and time of the previously scheduled event. The method may further include automatically presenting an indication of the conflict in response to detecting the conflict.

Abstract: A plurality of word groups that satisfy at least one criterion, each word group comprising at least one word, can be identified in an electronic message. For each word group that satisfies the at least one criterion, at least a first image corresponding to a meaning of the word group can be automatically selected from a plurality of images. Each image selected for each respective word group that satisfies the at least one criterion can be presented with the electronic message.

Abstract: Each of segment of a recording is analyzed for complexity specifying a rate of speech at a normal playback speech. A target rate is selected at which to playback the recording, the target rate specifying a fastest optimal speed at which a particular user listening to the recording is able to comprehend the playback. During playback of the recording, a separate adjusted playback rate is selected for each of the segments to adjust the playback rate of speech from the rate of speech at the normal playback speed to the target rate.

Abstract: A computer implemented method and system for delegating authority on an online account includes monitoring a user of a plurality of users using an online social network on a communications system. A designated user for an originating user from the plurality of users is assigned, responsive to the originating user of the plurality of user's selection of the designated user. The designated user is activated, responsive to determining an absence of access of the originating user on the online social network. A delegation action is presented to the designated user, and the delegation action is performed on behalf of the originating user, responsive to the designated user's selection of the delegation action.

Abstract: A content subject matter area of interest to a user is determined, using eye-gaze analysis of a user viewing existing activity stream content, according to content at a content location viewed by the user within the existing activity stream content. User-specific activity stream content augmentations are configured that are applicable to new activity stream content viewed by the user that includes the content subject matter area of interest to the user determined from the eye-gaze analysis. Using the configured user-specific activity stream content augmentations, portions of the new activity stream content viewed by the user determined to include the content subject matter area of interest to the user are augmented.

Abstract: A method for associating contextual information with an electronic communication. The method includes a computer processor monitoring one or more activities of a user of a computing device, and determining contextual information respectively associated with the one or more monitored activities of the user, wherein contextual information includes information describing the one or more monitored activities. The method further includes identifying the user initiating an electronic communication and a time that the user of the computing device initiates the electronic communication.

Abstract: A set of similar messages addressed to a user is detected. Redundantly similar portions of the set of similar messages and a progressive set of differences between the set of similar messages are identified. The set of similar messages are consolidated into a single consolidated message. The single consolidated message includes one version of the redundantly similar portions in association with the progressive set of differences in a sequence and the progressive set of differences formatted differently from the redundant similar portions.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for ensuring that the composed message is being sent to the appropriate recipient. A message being composed by an author is detected. The intended recipient(s) to receive the composed message are identified. The composed message is then analyzed to identify one or more of the following characteristics: a topic, a greeting, a dialect, a conversation pattern and a language pattern. A profile for the intended recipient storing information regarding the characteristics of the recipient (e.g., social group, historical topics discussed, conversation pattern) is obtained. A score is generated based on the consistency between the characteristics of the analyzed message with the characteristics of the recipient obtained from the recipient's profile. A notification may then be issued to the author if the score is less than a threshold value to ensure that the intended recipient is the correct recipient to receive the composed message.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for determining credibility of a user in recommending an object. The method comprises monitoring activity relating to an object in an online network, and determining a baseline of activity for the object based on the activity monitored. In response to detecting a user interaction by a first user with the object, information relating to the user interaction is recorded. An analysis of the information recorded is performed in view of information relating to one or more other user interactions by one or more other users with the object. Based on the analysis, a credibility score for the first user is determined. The credibility score represents a degree of confidence in reliability of the first user to recommend the object. Presentation of user recommendations for objects is controlled based on credibility scores to decrease impact of astroturfing, crowdturfing and spamming on the presentation.

Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for handling an overwhelming amount of messages in an activity stream. Messages in an activity stream, such as an activity stream of a social networking system, of a user are monitored. Those monitored messages that contain an actionable item or event are identified. The messages that contain an actionable item or event are prioritized in a list based on one or more of the following factors: the deadline, the relationship of the sender of the message to the user, the user's desired social relationship with the sender of the message and the event schedule. The prioritized list is then displayed to the user. In this manner, the user will be able to handle the overwhelming amount of messages in an activity stream by determining which posts with an actionable item or event to respond prior to other posts in the user's activity stream.

Abstract: As disclosed herein a method, executed by a computer, for enabling enhanced reading device usability includes detecting, on an electronic device, a read operation that audibly reads visually presented information. The method further includes retrieving from a user profile a first threshold value and a second threshold value. The method further includes analyzing potential distractions to determine an estimated distraction level. The method further includes pausing the read operation if the estimated distraction level is greater than or equal to the first threshold value. The method further includes resuming the read operation if the estimated distraction level is less than or equal to the second threshold value. A computer system, and a computer program product corresponding to the method are also disclosed herein.
