  • Message modifier responsive to meeting location availability
    Patent number: 10740569
    Abstract: Processors are configured to analyze message text content to determine whether the text content proposes a meeting event at a specified location and a specified time. In response to determining that the text content proposes said meeting event, processors determine whether a meeting is possible at the specified location and the specified time as a function of forum availability. In response to determining that the meeting is possible, some processors generate a confirming appointment message comprising text content that identifies creation of a meeting event at the meeting place at the specified location and at the specified time. In response to determining that the meeting is not possible, processors create an alternative meeting proposal message that includes alternative text content, including an alternative, different location or an alternative, different time.

  • Sentiment based social media comment overlay on image posts
    Patent number: 10726314
    Abstract: By performing Natural Language Processing (NLP) on a comment to a social media post, an entity that is referenced in the comment is extracted. The entity is an object other than a human face that is depicted in an image in the post. The image is analyzed to determine whether the entity is represented in the image. When the entity is represented in the image, a sentiment value of the comment is computed relative to the entity. A value corresponding to the sentiment value is assigned to a characteristic of a graphical artifact. A position is determined relative to an area occupied by the entity in the image. The graphical artifact is caused to be overlaid on the image at the position and with the value of the characteristic.

  • Automated filtering of item comments
    Patent number: 10706312
    Abstract: Aspects analyze published items to identify and distinguish a graphic image content or text string content element from other elements within the content of the published item, wherein the item is published with user comments. In response to a selection of the distinguished element, metadata and text content of the comments are analyzed to identify associations to the selected element. Aspects differentially display a subset of the comments in association with the published item, relative to display of remaining others of the comments, in response to determining that the analyzed metadata or analyzed text content of the subset of comments is associated with the selected element, and that the analyzed metadata or analyzed text content of the remaining others of the comments is not associated with the selected element.
