  • Publication number: 20180025221
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for video sentiment analysis in video messaging. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for video sentiment analysis in video messaging includes receiving different video contributions to a thread in a social system executing in memory of a computer and sensing from a plurality of the video contributions a contributor sentiment. Thereafter, a sentiment value for the different video contributions is computed and a sentiment value for a selected one of the video contributions is displayed in a user interface to the thread for an end user contributing a new video contribution to the thread.

  • Publication number: 20170358156
    Abstract: Monitoring and authorizing collection of printed media. A print task is received. A unique electromagnetic (EM) signature is generated for the received print task. Files for the print task are printed including the EM signature. Communication information is received including information exchanged between a radio frequency identification (RFID) badge associated with a user requesting access to a common printing area and a RFID reader associated with the common printing area, and information by an electromagnetic detector of a computer from the EM signature. Based on the first and second set of received communication information, an attempted collection of the printed media by the print task owner is determined. If the attempted collection is not made by the print task owner, a notification is transmitted to a computer associated with the print task owner indicating an unauthorized attempted collection of the printed media.

  • Publication number: 20170353529
    Abstract: In an approach for determining a preferred communication channel, the computer receives a query that includes a unique client identifier. The computer retrieves one or more communication channels from an entry within a data repository, wherein the entry is associated with the received query. The computer determines one or more communication channel results based, at least in part, on one or more success rates respectively associated with the retrieved one or more communication channels within the data repository. The computer creates a first ordered list of communication channel results in which the determined one or more communication channel results are ordered based, at least in part, on the one or more success rates of the determined one or more communication channels. The computer selects a preferred communication channel from the created first ordered list of communication channel results. The computer initiates a communication via the selected preferred communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20170124600
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a method, system and computer program product for social media messaging management for brand integrity. The method includes retrieving content from different Web sites from over a computer communications network into a social media messaging manager executing in memory of a host computing system. The method further includes parsing text of the retrieved content to identify information pertaining to a contemporaneous news event. Thereafter, the parsed text is matched to an advertising message disposed in a table stored in a data store coupled to the host computing system. Consequently, at least a portion of a social media message is generated incorporating the predetermined advertising message and the social media message is displayed in a user interface of the manager. Finally, the social media message is posted onto a social media messaging system by the manager over the computer communications network.
