Patent number: 10645045Abstract: A first user muting a conversation, taking place among a plurality of users using an exchange of electronic messages, can be detected. Responsive to the first user muting the conversation, an electronic message inbox of the first user can be configured to prevent further electronic messages pertaining to the conversation from being visible in the electronic message inbox. At least one additional electronic message pertaining to the conversation can be received. Responsive to receiving the additional electronic message, the additional electronic message can be analyzed and, based on the analysis, whether the conversation should be unmuted for the first user can be automatically determined. Responsive to determining that the conversation should be unmuted for the first user, the electronic message inbox of the first user can be configured to make visible at least one electronic message pertaining to the conversation that is received earlier than the additional electronic message.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Paul R. Bastide, Andrew E. Davis, Dan Dumont, Lorelei M. McCollum, Eric S. Portner, Amanda N. Savitzky, Asima Silva

Patent number: 9762700Abstract: A system and/or computer program product retrieves a nested resource of software modules. A client computer identifies software modules that are required by a primary software module. The dependent and primary software modules are consolidated at a client computer into an aggregated software module, which is an exemplary nested resource. A request for the aggregated software module is transmitted to a module server from a client-side module loader, which is incapable of identifying a name of received software modules from the module server, and where the module server is blocked from returning additional software modules in response to a request for a particular module. The client-side module loader in the client computer then receives the requested aggregated software module without any identification and utilizes asynchronous module definition (AMD) specification commands to generate the aggregated software module.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Charles E.
