  • Publication number: 20180004790
    Abstract: Nutritional information of a recipe is gathered to determine a nutritional value table of a food recipe. A computing device may extract and analyze unstructured text of a food recipe to obtain a plurality of ingredients and a quantity of the plurality of ingredients. The computing device may access dietary preferences of a user. The nutritional information of the food recipe may be calculated using the nutritional value of each of the ingredients and complied into a nutritional value table. The recipe may be determined if the recipe corresponds with the dietary preferences of the user. If a recipe does not correspond with the dietary preferences, then an ingredient causes the recipe to not correspond with the dietary preferences is removed from the recipe creating an altered recipe. The nutritional value table of the altered recipe is displayed to the user.

  • Patent number: 9858591
    Abstract: An invitation is created on a social network. To create the invitation, a computer receives, from a social networking program operating on a first computer system by an event program operating on a second computer system, data from a social networking post. The computer identifies, by the event program, information from the data associated with a first member of a social network. The computer determines whether the information includes information about a future event that the first member intends to participate in. The computer generates an invitation to a second member of the social network for the future event based on the information about the future event. The computer transmits the invitation for the social networking post for sending by the social networking program to a user device of the second member of the social network.

  • Patent number: 9736104
    Abstract: A computer creates an invitation on a social network. The computer receives data from a social networking post, and identifies in the data from the social networking post information about a future event that a first member of a social network intends to participate in. The computer determines an invitation template based on the information about the future event, and generates an invitation to a second member of the social network for the future event based on the information about the future event and based on the invitation template. The invitation template can be determined based on one or more of an event type and event subtype in an event record. The invitation can be generated by populating the template with information in the social networking post, other information in the social network, or other information not in the social network.

  • Publication number: 20170193083
    Abstract: A first message comprising first unstructured text can be received. A determination can be made as to whether at least a first content of the first unstructured text is related to an event by processing the first unstructured text using natural language processing. Responsive to determining that the first content is related to the event, the first content can be extracted from the first message and stored to a data storage. At least a second message comprising second unstructured text can be received. At least a second content of the second unstructured text can be identified and a determination can be made as to whether the second content is related to the event by processing the second unstructured text using natural language processing. Responsive to determining that the second content is related to the event, at least one action pertaining to the event can be performed.
