Patent number: 9922015Abstract: Abbreviations can be handled by a computer system that receives a message that specifies a recipient and a sender. A first text portion is identified from the message as being associated with an abbreviation. A sender and receiver profile are used to identify a set of one or more solutions for the first text portion. The solutions are scored based upon the online content exposure information in the profile of the recipient. Based upon the scoring, a particular solution of the one or more solutions is identified for use. The text body of the message is modified to include the particular solution, and the modified message is transmitted to the recipient.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2014Date of Patent: March 20, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kelley L.

Publication number: 20150156227Abstract: An approach that delays presentation of social media communications corresponding to an event is provided. In the approach, social media communications received during an initial presentation of the event are stored. A time delay associated with each of the social media communications is recorded with the time delay being from the start time of the initial presentation of the event. During subsequent playback of the event, the approach retrieves the stored social media communications and presents the retrieved social media communications based upon the time delay associated with each of the communications from the start time of the subsequent event playback.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2014Publication date: June 4, 2015Inventors: Kimberly D. McCall, Henri F. Meli, Michael S. Thomason, Yingxin Xing
