Patent number: 9325644Abstract: Described are systems and methods for managing a display of chat windows. A user electronic device receives an incoming communication from a remote electronic device. A chat session is established between the user electronic device and the remote electronic device in response to receiving the incoming communication. A period of time is input to the user electronic device during which a display of all incoming communications are prevented from being displayed in chat windows in the user electronic device. At least one of a display of new chat windows and the chat session is suspended during the period of time. An electronic notification is generated that indicates that a user of the user electronic device is temporarily unavailable.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Angela Douglas, Danny Gao, Marie Knight, Pucci Lee, Karen Reilly, Gary Sedler
