  • Patent number: 11176319
    Abstract: Methods and systems for leveraging a topic divergence model to generate dynamic sidebar chat conversations are disclosed. A method includes: collecting, by a computing device, data from a first group chat; determining, by the computing device, a main topic of the first group chat and a current topic of the first group chat using the data collected from the first group chat; determining, by the computing device, a first divergence score representing a degree of divergence between the main topic of the first group chat and the current topic of the first group chat; determining, by the computing device, that the first divergence score exceeds a predetermined threshold; and in response to determining that the first divergence score exceeds the predetermined threshold, the computing device creating a second group chat; determining an efficacy based on an emotive analysis which increases as the divergence score decreases.

  • Publication number: 20200233550
    Abstract: An approach is provided that receives a textual user input at a graphical user interface (GUI) that is displayed on a display screen. The GUI includes a number of windows that each correspond to a different application with one of the windows having the input focus. The approach determines an input context type for the received textual input and compares the input context type to application contexts that correspond to the applications being displayed in the windows. One of the applications is selected based on the comparison and the received textual user input is then directed to the window that corresponds to the selected application.

  • Patent number: 10587554
    Abstract: An approach for new recipient inclusion to e-mail chains. E-mail chain manager receives include participants associated with an e-mail chain, current participants in the current e-mail chain distribution and authorization rules associated with the e-mail chain. The e-mail chain manager determines inclusion authorizations for the include participants based on comparing the include participants with the authorization rules and creates authorization results associated with the include participants. In response to determining the authorization results are passed, the e-mail chain manager creates authorized include participants. The e-mail chain manager creates the participant notifications where the participant notifications are based on the authorized include participants and outputs the participant notifications based on predetermined participant preferences of the current participants.

  • Patent number: 10333880
    Abstract: An approach for new recipient inclusion to e-mail chains. The approach determines inclusion authorizations for one or more include participants in a current e-mail chain distribution. Responsive to a determination that the one or more authorization results are passed, the approach creates one or more authorized include participants. The approach creates one or more participant notifications based, at least in part, on the one or more authorized include participants. The approach outputs an e-mail chain to the one or more authorized include participants, wherein outputting the email chain includes outputting the one or more participant notifications based, at least in part, on predetermined participant preferences of one or more current participants in the current email chain distribution. The approach creates a next e-mail chain distribution based, at least in part, on combining the one or more authorized include participants and the one or more current participants.

  • Patent number: 9882811
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes determining that network connectivity does not exist for a mobile data network. The computer-implemented method further includes initiating, via a wireless peer to peer communication protocol, a scan request to identify one or more peer devices, wherein each of one or more peer devices have a readiness score. The computer-implemented method further includes generating a routing table. The routing table includes the one or more peer devices located within a threshold distance. The computer-implemented method further includes generating a forwarding table. The forwarding table includes the one or more peer devices of the routing table that have a readiness score that exceeds a given threshold. The computer-implemented method further includes transmitting a data packet to each of the one or more peer devices of the forwarding table. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed.
