Patent number: 9697528Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for tracking link sharing in a messaging environment of a data processing system. Message information is received that identifies a plurality of links to content included in one or more messages exchanged via the data processing system. A relationship measure is determined based on the message information. The relationship measure measures a likelihood that a first link is related to a second link in the plurality of links and points to a same source of content. An association data structure associating the first link with the second link is generated based on the relationship measure. User interactions with the first link and the second link are tracked based on the generated association data structure.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2012Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Maryam Ahmed, Al Chakra, Matthew C. Hillary, Michael S. Thomason

Patent number: 9621619Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for providing a severity of a notification for a communication. A computing device determines a topic and associated information of a current activity, operating on the computing device. The computing device receives a communication and determines the topic and associated information of the communication. The computing device determines a level of relevance between the topic and associated information of the received communication and the topic and associated information of the current activity. The computing device determines whether the level of relevance exceeds a predefined threshold, and in response to determining that the level of relevance exceeds the predefined threshold, the computing device provides a notification, wherein the severity of the notification for the communication is proportional to the level of relevance.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2013Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Maryam Ahmed, Al Chakra, Michael S. Thomason, Tong Yu

Patent number: 8738613Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product providing ordered search results within a search engine. Items are retrieved from a network satisfying search criteria provided by a user. Computer-related activities performed by the user, including social networking activities, are determined, and the retrieved items are ranked based on the computer-related activities. The ranking of the retrieved items is dependent upon whether any retrieved item has been referenced by the social networking activities of the user, and the search results are provided including the retrieved items in order of the ranking.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Maryam Ahmed, Al Chakra, Matthew C.

Patent number: 8495484Abstract: Computer apparatus, system and method maintain a database of hyperlinks associated with activities and inactions in the past of a user. From a current work space of the user, a recommendation engine searches the database to retrieve hyperlinks based on user-specified context and topic. The recommendation engine displays recommended hyperlinks (candidates) and enables the user to filter the recommended hyperlinks by original source, activity metric or other relevance. To form and maintain the database, a context analysis engine captures activity content links. Each activity content link has a respective hyperlink associated with an activity/inaction of the user. The context analysis engine generates a metric based on the activity and records the respective hyperlink in the database along with the metric. The recommendation engine and context analysis engine may, on user command, further search social media or social networks in order to make hyperlink recommendations to the user.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Maryam Ahmed, Al Chakra, Prasad Lakshmi Imandi, Michael Scott Thomason, Tong Yu
